how about ordering directly to the kitchen from the table via ipad. I usually don't have any questions for the waiters.
At some restaurants near me, the waitstaff now hand you an iPad instead of a menu. Once we got over the clunky UI, it made ordering a lot more efficient.
I imagine you could embed a short 15s video to explain what the dish is (if needed).
Having said that, it’s still the best terminal you’ll find in Newark, so ... eh.
I don't know, they're ok. I wouldn't use the iPads to surf but they're a great food ordering tool. The one advantage is that the seats at these iPad stations are usually very comfy. They also free you up from having to look for seating at a busy food court. I was once able to order Popeye's from several gates away where things were quieter, and my food was brought to me.

I bet they recoup their investments pretty quickly. Waitstaff isn't reduced though -- they still need lots of people to bring out the food, but the operation itself is fairly efficient.
