14 DAY TRIAL // Little has changed in the way we order our food and beverages at a restaurant: the waiter comes and brings us the (sometimes very elegant) printed menu, we check it out, decide and reply to the waiter. The waiter then writes down our choices and makes annotations if applicable, then rushes with our order to see that it is done the way we want.
Well, not anymore. At least designer Stephen Allport thinks such a workflow should be changed and things can be done in a more pleasant and effective manner.
Besides thinking about such a change, it looks like Mr. Allport has already offered a solution in the body of the EPOS-lite Wireless Menu, a stunning piece of innovative technology that promises to add a dramatically different perspective to ordering in a public place. While boasting some of the newest technologies in the field of wireless communications and OLED displays, the EPOS-lite Wireless Menu brings at the same time a spectacular shape which is as awesome as it is functional and ergonomic.
This EPOS-lite Wireless Menu, which was inspired by the contemporary designs of the MacBook Air and the iPhone is a smart device that will allow customers to place their orders but at the same time also pay for their dinner without handling over their credit cards to the waiter. This cash register-menu combo will display pictures and additional info on the daily courses on the touchscreen and, as you make your selections, it will send the requested items via wifi to the kitchen for preparation; not only is this cool but it is also a lot faster than the traditional methods.
Even more, the EPOS-lite Wireless Menu will charge when placed on the tabletop, thus requiring minimal human intervention. Indeed a modern and very elegant way to order in a restaurant; and if the waiter bringing you the EPOS-lite Wireless Menu is also a polite and pleasant presence, there you go - the perfect combination between the machines' precision and the warmth of the human nature.
No price or availability terms have been announced yet, but we are entitled to believe that there will not be too long until we meet the EPOS-lite Wireless Menu in person, so to speak.
