Touch Screens around Us

Menu Order Terminal

Have you been in a restaurant where you make order with a touch screen?

Yep, I saw this menu order terminal in a Japanese restaurant. I thought it is a good system. I did not have to call a waiter/waitress every time making orders.

Exactly, and the restaurant can save labor cost. Change of menu (lunch time/dinner time, seasonal specialty) can be easily reflected on these terminals. Some menu order terminals are even more useful that it can display multiple languages, and customers easily switch language to the one they can read.

I see, it will be helpful to foreigners. What kind of touch screen is used on these order terminals?

Various touch screen technologies such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic, are used on these devices.
