The job of being a waiter may be in danger in some food serving locations if the owners find out about the iOrder Food Service Kiosk. VeriFone Holdings just released this piece of technology that allows restaurant or convenience store customers to key in their order on the 15-inch display screen, sit back (or do some more shopping) and then come get their food when it’s ready to be served.

If the thought of not reducing their employee overhead costs wasn’t enough VeriFone also throws out to prospective buyers that early partakers of the iOrder Kiosk in the northeast of the country have reported a 20% increase in the average customer’s order size. In some situations this kind of thing could be the best thing ever, like ordering your drinks ahead of time before wandering up to the bar and having to wait in line, but in other places like sit down restaurants the novelty of having someone take your order just can’t be replaced - except when you’re waiting in line for your morning Starbucks.
