At the Izakaya Expo, Casio presented the industry's first order entry system for restaurants which uses electronic booklet-type handy terminals.
This system consists of the terminals, a printer in the kitchen, and a controller box. The booklet terminals used for ordering enable the staff to turn the menu pages and select items easily. The system is linked to a network cash register, so tallying of the bill is also a simple process.
"The handy terminal can be used by turning pages, like a book. A big feature of this system is that it can be used intuitively, even by people who haven't used this kind of system before. Also, new items can be added to the menu, by replacing pages like this. Up to eight booklets can be interchanged. For example, if the lunch menu is different from the evening menu, the two can be switched very quickly. This system is designed so that people can use it at a glance, intuitively, like a paper menu."
Up to 384 items can be stored on the device and even staff who aren't familiar with such systems can learn to operate this one naturally and quickly.
"Our main suggestion is that restaurants boost their revenue by using this network cash register service, which records revenue statistics. And along with that service, we suggest using this order entry system to reduce costs."
This system was released in July 2010. As the system is easy to use and priced competitively, Casio plans to promote it to restaurants that haven't installed order entry systems before.
