Quite a few restaurants have already played the high-tech angle over the years, and it wouldn't surprise me if buying a few dozen iPads and coding up a simple app was cheaper than e.g. the
e-table approach of projectors and touchpads (as used at
Inamo for the last couple of years).
It's almost certainly more flexible and simpler to maintain since nothing is fixed to the tables or ceilings, they're just interchangeable wireless devices.
