expensive...they would probably need to be replaced constantly.

iPads are a great way to manage an ever changing menu without generating much waste. We are also using square to conduct sales transactions at our new Noodlecat stand at the West Side Market.

Don't like it. Too expensive, they get greasy with fingerprints and I would hope someone would clean them between diners. Electronics seem cold and unfeeling. I much prefer paper.

I'm a luddite here. An IPAD menu is another way to digitaize art. Not interested. Give me texture and paper and ink and its requisite smudges.

I think that it is cool. Easy for restaurant to update and store a lot of data. Customers can get a ton of information about food or drink choices.

Never thought of it. Love it...but the cost.
