This device annoys me. I occasionally go to the Applebee's near me, and I've used it once. They usually are either broken or not on (either way, black screen). Anyone here with experience as a waiter with these things? Are they awesome for the waitstaff?

Doesn't surprise me.

The thing is, with real POS integration (which most companies don't have) -- you could do all of this from the customer's phone rather than a stupid piece of hardware at the table.

It's nice to have a bigger screen so you can see pictures of the food. It makes it more fun to explore your options.

My father taught me to never eat at a restaurant that had photos of the food.
