Australian Restaurant Lets You Order Your Waiter Around By Touchscreen
Give us more interactive menus, and give them to us now! No more waiters for us, since we've found a restaurant in Sydney that lets the touchscreen do even more than the average waiter. We're talking about Wagaya in the Haymarket area of town, a Japanese restaurant where you can make your reservation by SMS, which gives you a good hint of the high-tech stuff to come.
Once you're at your table (you might have to wait, it's pretty popular), you'll find a big touchscreen embedded in the wall at your table. It does everything: you can place your order, get bigger pictures and more details about any dish you're interested in, and check how far along the preparation of your order is. When you've finished eating, use the same screen to see the bill and ask the staff to bring it to your table.
Not only is this cool, but apparently the food is really delicious too, and it's not even expensive; many dishes range between A$5 and $20 ($4-$17). The only danger—and staff say plenty of customers do this—is that the ease of ordering makes you get a bit carried away and you might order a fair bit more food than you need. That's not such a bad problem to have though, is it?
