Product Survey

We can make those places that you don't really expect the best service, into places where top notch service is attainable regardless of price.

I don't know that an electronic device will help that problem. Computers won't help service with losers involved, or those that really couldn't care lees to be there.



I think just being able to pay at the table would work the best. I think ordering at the table with a computer would be to much like going thru a phone tree at a business. If you could talk to someone on a phone would work too. Been to places that had that setup. Been a long time though.

Nope, I suppose there will always be wrinkles in every system.

Don't be fooled, TDR is not the only crowd we are going after. We have our survey's in restaurants, at technology fairs, and in newspapers. TDR is just a good place I knew I could receive quick feedback from straight shooters.

Normally, the easiest and cheapest way to produce the intended results is to only survey groups that have a similar population cross-section to your target, which is what I meant above. (By going to a specific subgroup, you cannot regain that similarity without hitting all the other specific subgroups in the proper proportions. ) It sounds like you are already taking other data, too, though, so good luck to you. Restaurants sounds like a great place for 'em.

Here's an idea for you, too - use anything that the system can measure to boost sales. If the restaurant sees that they'll not only reduce labor costs but can also boost sales with your system, your sales of the device will rise dramatically.

For example, put sensors in the seats at the restaurants, as well, so when a 350 lb woman tries to order a cheeseburger, it can automatically ask if she'd like to upgrade to a double or triple, or 'upgrade' to a turkey burger. It's a question that would boost sales at restaurants, but that a human waiter can't ask without fear of getting slapped. :-laf

Simplistic voice recognition could let you target men for larger steaks at the restaurant.

Have you considered the possibility of being able to scan a state ID on this thing so it'll work for restaurants that serve alcohol, as well? Measuring ordering patterns of a particular group could help, too. If they need another round of beers after seven minutes the first time, then it can automatically ask again after an additional amount of time. Don't go too crazy with this idea, as it could get annoying if you use it on refills, extra fries, desserts, etc. , but alcohol is big bucks, and selling an extra drink per table would make most restaurants want something like this.

Just some ideas... .

Chris, I appreciate the feedback. Convincing restaurants that their sales will increase is a huge goal of ours. We are trying to appeal to many new groups of people that restaurants struggle to bring in. I wish I could give ALL the details of the system at this time, but until trademarking goes through, I'm afraid it's just too risky.



You should of had me sign an NDA before you gave me those ideas. Now I might just have to implement some of them. Sensors in the seats. LMAO, thats an interesting concept.

Wouldn't want to lose that as some places. Texas Roadhouse for one. Partly because the waitresses are really easy on the eyes, and fun to talk to.

Yah,



Hooters would suck!

Or maybe Hooters would be 10x better. Now instead of taking your order, the waitress's can be chatting with you. Not to mention, Hooters would not have to staff as many waitress's, meaning they would be able to be more selective with the waitress's they do hire, therefor making all us men... Oo.

Actually, you first option on the Hooters could be a screen that says:



Check one.

Haha, as you are all beginning to see, the options are endless.
