Despite being less than a year old, iPads are everywhere from classrooms to subways, and the must-have tablet will soon be hitting another major venue: restaurants. Small business owners from New York to California are slowly beginning to embrace tablet technology as a quick and easy way for consumers to have more control over their dining experience.
Stacked: Food Well Built will open its first of three California locations this May in Torrance with more than 100 iPads sitting atop its tables. Customers can use the tablets to design and build their own burgers, pizzas and salads, in what co-founder Paul Motenko refers to as “fast-casual” dining. Diners can also use the device to pay their bill.
