Book and magazine publishing aren’t the only professions experiencing upheaval from advances in technology. Now restaurants are in the mix. As USA TODAY (@USATODAY) reports:
When the new chain Stacked: Food Well Built opens its first of three Southern California units in May, sitting atop each of the fast-casual chain's 60 tables will be an iPad that folks will use to design and order their meals.
The two co-founders plan to place 100 iPads in each restaurant. Diners will use them to look at meal options; design their own burgers, pizzas and salads; and, if they want, use the iPads to pay for the meals.
The future of restaurant ordering and design may be digital. "The printing of menus will fade as iPads — and other devices — replace them," says consultant Dennis Lombardi.
