Auto Draft

On the heals of Apple announcing quite the incredible earnings seen in technology history and the market’s response by making it the most valuable company, I have another prediction of how Apple is going to change the future, specifically the restaurant industry now…

While I doubt Apple will actually enter this industry, I do think they will impact it. This is what I’m seeing for a visit in the near future to my favorite restaurant. I walk in and seated by a hostess at a table and each person is handed a menu, actually an iPad. The specials are first most with not only beautiful pictures, but interactive ingredient lists and nutritional information, a video by the chef talking about the dish and an easy interaction where I can select the item, make some additions or changes and the order is already sent to the kitchen.

The iPad will also allow me to send me order to my phone so I can keep track of my nutritional intake for the day and record the bill on my financial program as well as twitter, 4square and facebook about it.

My daughter will be entertained by the interactive activities just for kids and the adults can return to conversation quickly. The wait staff can be called over easily with a simple call button, not having to wait until they come by to check in and the bill can be handled with the table is ready, no waiting for someone to take your credit card and return.

From the restaurant side, this means more customers are served because there is another level of efficiency in serving, less wait staff as they can work with more tables making sure there is human interaction where it is needed but doesn’t interrupt the experience without reason.

So what does this have to do with Phoenix Real Estate, well, not much, but can you imagine the creative ordering you can do in your search for a home that this can lead to? Look for a home without an agent until you find the ones you are most interested in, than you hit the call agent button to arrange the showings and boom, your set.
