By Kerri Stout


Times have improved and changed so much! You visited your preferred restaurant yesterday evening and at the table a tablet was securely fixed. You were somewhat puzzled at first, as you were expecting a waiter to hand you a physical menu. Then it hits you to examine the tablet, oh wow, a restaurant menu on a tablet.

Here you are thinking about opening your own pub and have been considering all the possibilities. Your options are limitless, what an innovative idea. Oh wait, how can you include getting a device per table when you are just starting up, what an expense?

You will need to do some research on the devices, compare reliability and cost, as there is such a wide variety on the market at the moment. This may not cost you an arm and a leg. It may also be an option to have physical menus and just a few devices to start off with. Introduce them slowly, as the business really starts to take off.

Picture the possibilities, your customers will have the means to place their food order directly on the device, choose medium or rare for their steak; and chips or rice on the side. It will remove human error. A fabulous way to get the upper hand on your advertising would be to load various apps that appeal to your business, what a marvelous advertising tool. You can save a small fortune on advertising you new business venture.

This is so great, a dream come true. You get to mix your business sense with your creative side. The world is your oyster; anything can happen on the internet. You can start a blog for the pub; to which your patron will be welcome to add comments.

You can save a fortune by having one data base to update when you need to do price increases, no more reprints on a regular basis. You can also change the specials on a weekly basis, daily if you like. This will be the best investment you will ever make.

How thrilling would it be for your customers to confirm weekly the offered live entertainment at your pub on the device; the information can be kept fully up to date so easily and quickly. A weekly news letter regarding all the events in your area sounds like a wonderful idea; this will ensure all your frequent customers are kept fully up to date on news in the area.

You will be revolutionizing the industry, no more time wasted while your patrons wait for an inattentive waiter. When you are ready to order it goes straight to the kitchen, no delays. You may need to consider that some of your patrons will not be keen or able to use the devices; especially the older generation. Having a few hard copies will alleviate any stress and frustrations.

Technology is to be admired; your menu on a tablet, wonderful! It is surely the way to go, a great adventure to be tried. What else can we look forward too, each table getting their own mini television so each customer can support their favorite team?
