HMSHost Corp. has debuted E la Carte’s Presto tablets to its restaurants at Phoenix Sky Harbor International (PHX), giving customers the ability to browse menus with pictures, receive menu recommendations, place orders, split checks and pay via credit card – all from their table.
“The Presto tablet is a natural fit for our airport restaurants, as we constantly seek to identify innovations that will enrich travelers’ dining experiences,” says HMSHost Chief Innovation Officer Paul Mamalian. “The Presto tablet directly addresses travelers’ primary concerns: speed of service and convenience. It gives customers more control and allows them to pace the meal themselves, whether they’d like to sip cocktails at one of our bars while waiting for their flight, or indulge in a quick meal without having to wait for their bill. It’s truly the future of hospitality for airport dining.”
The Presto tablet runs on a battery and was designed exclusively for restaurants.
“HMSHost has been a great partner in this initiative,” says E la Carte CEO Rajat Suri. “Serving the busy road warrior is an excellent application of our Presto tablets. With HMSHost’s global reach, we are looking to fundamentally upgrade the traveler dining experience.”
