Want a virtual bite of what you’ll eat before ordering from the menu?
An Asian-themed restaurant in London’s theater district is giving its customers just that, projecting images of dragon rolls, black cod and other dishes directly onto diners’ plates.
Ready to place your order? Just tap the touchpad — your sashimi will be with you shortly.
Entrepreneur Noel Hunwick says he came up with the idea for the restaurant, named Inamo, several years ago while eating at a busy pizza parlor. “We were desperately trying to attract a waiter’s attention,” Hunwick said. “We thought: Wouldn’t it be great if we could press a button and get our food?”
Having customers compose their own orders meant Inamo could cut back on staff, and it shaved about 15 minutes off the length of an average meal.
Customers waiting for their food can even play games, and those wrapping up their meals can order a taxi.
