iPad Menu: Apple Point of Sale Device or Total Apple POS System4 min read

The iPad menu is unparalleled as a replacement for an outdated printed menu or wine list. In its simplest form, the iPad menu is a digital amuse-bouche from the chef de cuisine. Like an amuse, each tantalizing photo provides a small taste designed to immerse each guest in the total culinary experience. At Felix, the magical, ultra-contemporary 28th floor restaurant at the five-star The Peninsula Hong Kong, for example, the sleek Apple point of sale device “enables guests to visually sample each of Chef Kaji’s magical infusions of texture, taste and ingredients before ordering,” while the magical Symphony of Lights dances across Victoria Harbor, or easily navigate Felix’ exquisite wine list, find tasting notes, recommended wine pairings, and other detailed information, or let the digital sommelier select the perfect wine for dinner. But is “The iPad Menu at Felix: Magic or Digital Feng Shui?”

At Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco, the dynamic Apple point of sale device lets guest browse Seasons’ extensive wine collection, obtain detailed descriptions of each label, find recommended food and wine pairings, explore exotic vintages and exquisite regional tastes, try exclusive offerings, or experience the five-star hotel’s new, exclusive, private label Northern California cabernet. Wine connoisseurs and novice epicures alike will quickly discover “A Wine for all Seasons: New iPad Menu for a Restaurant Features 500 Wine Labels.”

But an iPad menu can be so much more. As “A Talented Quick Change Artist,” the Digital POS is Music to Qin” Restaurant and Café in Beijing, where live performances of traditional music provide “an aural feast fit to accompany the meal,” while the Apple point of sale device provides a visual feast of tantalizing food photography and complete descriptions, ingredient, and flavor information on each dish offered. It’s no wonder that “Qin’s Handheld Digital Menus Persuades Guest to Order a Lot More!” The Apple POS also facilitates waiterless ordering – improving restaurant efficiency and enabling servers to handle 50% more tables at a time.

The Apple POS lets Qin’s manager, Zhang Lichang, quickly and easily make changes to the menu, without incurring the high cost of reprinting the restaurant’s entire full-color menu book. It also lets Zhang frequently change other features on the Apple point of sale device, such as information on different aspects of traditional Chinese culture and music.

The Apple point of sale device at III Forks Jacksonville makes editing the restaurant’s wine list a breeze! It can be updated quickly and as often as needed, without incurring printing and paper costs. But III Forks’ Apple POS also streamlines the restaurant’s inventory management and control, saves valuable server time, reduces waiting time for guests, improves service, and saves money. It tracks the restaurants wine inventory and updates its wine list in real time – virtually eliminating the frequent time, labor, and cost-intensive physical process, and keeps servers apprised of the exact location of every bottle of wine, so guests are not kept waiting while servers search for that special bottle.

III Forks Jacksonville recently celebrated their first anniversary. The response “To a Year of Wining, Dining, and iPad Digital Menus” has been incredible. Since introducing the Apple POS just over a year ago, III Forks Jacksonville has experienced record-breaking growth – doubling its wine list to one of the largest and most diverse wine collections in the region.
