You're looking at it the wrong way around - why would a restaurant use that? Do they really want you to be able to access the menu of the restaurant next door?

I think samstave meant with your own device, not a restaurant device. An app on your iDevice or Android device that would bypass the need for them to maintain their own hardware (?), though I think that would be making a big assumption, it may let them hand out the devices on an as needed basis.

Yeps.

Personally I see a puniversal app for ordering based on GPS and specificity confirmation being a solid way to handle this in the future.
