Great news for both costumers and restaurant owners: Conceptic has launched eMenu touch screen for waiting areas.

Among the pioneers who are using this product is a London branch of Planet Hollywood, which is a one of Conceptic’s long time partners.
A unique and innovative idea from Conceptic, the creators of eMenu: waiting areas’ eMenu touch screen
The intention is to place in the entrance of the restaurant a large touch screen, which displays the menu for customers waiting for a table or passers undecided where to dine. With a light touch on the screen, the costumer is able to change the menu language and browse the various dishes of the menu according to his personal taste.
Implementation of this idea can be found today at various restaurants around the world working with eMenu. Waiting areas touch screens might be larger than the usual menu screens placed at the tables (up to 70' and more!), They might stand on a counter or have their own costume made stand; In any case the resulting effect is the same. The colorful eMenu touch screen displaying quality images of appetizing dishes really attracts people’s attention. Compared with nearby restaurants that hang on the wall worn out menu or put up a stand with a sticky one - the touch screen is in a completely different league: it offers an interactive experience to the costumer and allows him- not only to view the dishes- but also to browse it simply by touching the screen.

If you ever wondered how to attract more customers to your restaurant- touch screen menus system is the answer
It’s the combination of curiosity and enjoyment that attracts so much attention to the screen. This attention creates constant gathering around the screen which acts as a positive feedback: a crowd, even of 2-3 people around the screen, draws more people curious to see "what all the fuss is about". Street performers often use this phenomenon when they ask the crowd surrounding them to clap along, in order to arouse curiosity of passers-by to join. In the case of eMenu touch screen in the waiting area- the curiosity of a few arouses the curiosity of many more that creates “buzz” around the entrance of the restaurant.
People that haven’t decided yet what to eat and are looking at the menu, or even curious passers who did not plan to dine at the time, are exposed to professional and colorful pictures of various dishes. These images are meant to stimulate appetite, and they include pictures of chocolate desserts, hot steamy dishes and fresh colorful salads that make you want to take a bite off the screen. There’s a phrase saying “the eye eats before the mouth”, and it means that by playing with the touch screen and browsing all the different dish pictures you stimulate your own appetite, even if you didn’t feel hungry before. Large screens may capture the innocent passerby by a huge image of a bloody steak, chocolate cake dripping with caramel sauce or a fresh colorful sushi. If you weren’t hungry before – you are now.
