Apparently service, convenience, and swift are all now former characteristics associated with Deli’s in major cities. The lackeys behind the counter generally don’t care about you, your order, or your return business like they used to.
Well, the Deli Touch Pen won’t solve any of those problems but what it aims to do is two things, the first is making sure your order is correct. The second is making sure you are in and out with your food in a timely manner.
Basically you’d look at the menu and scan the pictures in order to place your order, no more relaying it to the guy behind the counter who might have an intelligence only marginally above that of Cro-Magnon man. The rental of the system costs about $420 and gets you 30 of the pens, a printer, and a server (of the electronic type) and will allow the orders to be relayed directly to the kitchen/preparers.

So will these pens read menus or like will you have to walk over to like a table and scan it or something?
This seems kind of neat way of taking orders, its sorta like Microsofts Desktop table where when you want to order something you just open up the menu screen on the table and drag it into the middle of the table to place your order.
I’m very excited to see that when it arrives too.
