Like I said NOTHING is going to get the food to the customer faster then is being done now. Cooks can only cook so fast. How will getting the order to the cook faster allow the cook to prepare more meals faster? They already cook as fast as they can. No matter what system is in place the bottleneck will always be the same, kitchen and service bar. Customers will always change their minds about onions, butter, well done etc.. This system is in place at a lot of restaurants today. Swiping a CC takes about 30 seconds and that includes printing the receipt, how can FIRMS improve on that? Wireless CC machines are already in use.

Wow, thanks for that information. So the system is up and functioning and the employees like it! We couldn't ask for more.

Getting the GUI a little more sexy would be sweet. There is lots of real esate on the iPad to work with so I hope the programers can improve the menu end now that the system is functioning!

Ever notice how every once and a while I-HUB changes their layout. They just wait until the market is closed and they spring the updates. Simple as that!

Guys have bigger fingers so larger buttons is no brainer. Right now its all text I believe, but substituting text with custom photo thumbnails would certainly enlarge the touch area and make for faster entry. I'm sure a photo registers faster (in the human mind) than reading text. But once the employees gain experience they will become more proficient with breezing through the entries.

Great job aquacila!

There are at least two credit card reading devices for iphone already, and they can presumably be adapted for the ipad easily, if they are not already:

The Square dongle plugs into the earphone jack, and interacts with an app produced by the company Square. What I've seen online so far makes it look like it still has a few bugs to work out in the app:

Mophie has an iphone case that includes a card slot ("coming soon" according to Mophie website):

I would bet they will have one for the iPad soon, as well.
