These two restaurants are making their iPad POS systems work harder for them. Here are some of their strategies that are scoring big with their guests and getting their restaurants rave reviews, together with inexpensive ways you can incorporate these same strategies in your restaurant. Check out these cheap iPad POS tips from two star performers!

Cheap iPad POS tip #1: Add wine or food-related games and activities to your menu to engage and captivate guests. With an iPad POS system, you can download an app for little or no additional cost. It’s a great way to create greater perceived value and forge stronger ties with your guests.

The iPad menus were such a big hit in two-Michelin-starred Ming Cellar at five-star Langham Place Mongkok, Hong Kong, that the hotel replaced all of its paper menus with iPad digital menus in three of its dining venues as well. Famous sommelier, Zachary Yu (aka Wine Guy Zach), doesn’t just present Ming Cellar’s wine collection on the venue’s iPad menus, he uses them to engage and captivate guests in wine-related games and activities, which scores high with guests.

The Cheap iPad POS tip #2: Embed short videos of individual dishes being prepared right on your iPad restaurant menus. It’s an easy way to add a more personal connection and further entice guests to order more.

The new owner of the Modern Café in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island in British Columbia is using the digital power of the iPad POS to ensure the entire guest experience is unforgettable. The restaurant’s iPad menus treat guests to a virtual sample of Chef Robert Vandermeer’s artistic cuisine in high-resolution color before they order. To further whet their appetite and enhance guests’ personal connection with the restaurant, owner Scott Cooper embeds short videos of individual dishes being prepared. Reports say business has increased by 15%.
