NRA Restaurant Show

Dining Electronically, Almost Futuristic

Imagine a day when you walk into a restaurant. You are greeted by a large display screen that shows the available tables in the restaurant. You select the table and the number of guests by tapping on the screen and entering your name. Lights on the floor direct you to your table where there is a tablet waiting with the menu showing. You select your order and in a couple of minutes a robotic tray brings out your food. After you finish and ready to leave you use the tablet to pay for your meal with a credit or debit card and off you go.

Sound a bit futuristic? Not as far off as you might imagine. 

At the recent Restaurant show in New York City there were various companies featuring food automation robots that can make your food, server bots that can bring and take away food trays and scrubber bots to clean the floors. These robots now take us further into total food automation. Automated vending machines, like those created by G&A Robot, can now cook up meals at the touch of a button, not just store drinks and snacks. Robots made by Todo Robotics can handle several food trays and bring them to tables or take away the dirty dishes.

As you know many restaurants have adopted electronic handheld ordering systems to take your order and also accept payment if paying by credit card. A wireless POS system, such as Micros, TouchBistro, ABC POS, Boxy POS, BIM POS, Clover, ShopKeep, Toast or eZeeBurrp, make it easy for servers to take orders which goes directly to the kitchen, speeding up service and the delivery of your food. All a restaurant needs is a WiFi network throughout its building, and communication between the kitchen and the front of the house is easy.

So where does NuShield come into the picture?

All of these devices operate using an LCD touch screen. But there’s a problem with most screens; they reflect light back into the user’s eyes, in the form of glare. This is inconvenient and makes the device nearly unusable. However, there’s a simple solution. By installing an anti-glare screen protector such as NuShield’s Triple A film on the display screen, glare can be easily eliminated. The display will also be protected against scratches, scrapes, drops and cracks during a busy workday.

The Triple A screen protector comes pre-cut in a variety of sizes, so it’ll fit perfectly to any display. Just peel off the protective liner then smooth it over the screen. It’ll stay firmly affixed, but can be peeled off whenever necessary. And because it’s such a thin film, the display will retain all its touch screen functionality. The Triple A film also has an anti-bacterial feature which kills germs on the film surface, preventing germs to pass between users. As more restaurants employ POS devices, the need for NuShield films becomes even greater.

Contact NuShield Inc. for the best anti glare screen protector made. NuShield has been a leader in screen protection for almost 25 years, and has been providing glare elimination and screen protection for the most unique applications. We currently provide film sizes for over 15,000 devices, from smart phones to large TV screen displays, and we create new ones every day. Can we make one for your device?

NuShield Helps to Make Movies

On March 12, 2023 the 95th Academy of Awards, also known as the Oscars was presented in Los Angeles, CA.  In the beginning the director relied on a cinematographer to capture the scene and then waiting around for the film to be processed and see the result. Then if not correct they had to reshoot the scene and wait around again. This took a very long time and lots of money for the actors and production people.

Are You Getting Germs With Your Fries?

When you decide to dine out, how comfortable are you that your waiter or food handler is concerned about passing germs to you along with your food?

Food workers are supposed to wash their hands and follow certain safety instructions when handling food, but these practices are mostly ignored. While most employees will wash their hands after going to the bathroom, these same people will cough or sneeze into their hands and then transfer their germs directly to your food. Even if they are wearing gloves while handling food, there is always the chance that they will wipe their nose and transfer the germs onto their gloves and eventually onto your plate.
