Balancing Atmosphere and Convenience

A good little article about using technology in restaurant settings to balance aspects of being customer-friendly. How much can tech speed up the not-fun parts of the meal - like paying! - but not prevent the enjoyable parts of being served by helpful staff?

"When you really think about it, the entire, drawn-out ritual of paying for a meal is pretty silly."

Of course, at MetroORDER, we believe the website and online ordering should be an extension of your atmosphere, not an alternative.
