Have you ever wished your wait staff could simply take resident orders right at the table and fire them back to the Kitchen without having to walk back to a POS terminal?    Now you can as we “snip the wires” to bring the power of CARDWATCH to the convenience and portability of a small, lightweight mini tablet PC.  We anticipate that our clients will be able to reduce floor staffing requirements with the increased efficiencies while concurrently providing improved service levels and faster table turnover.  Use it for private catering events or for off-site events to capture charges.  Because this is not a Palm or Pocket PC version, your team will have the full functionality of the CARDWATCH application in their hands.  In addition, if you have other applications you'd like to take mobile, the tablets are easily re-purposed during non-dining hours for other uses because it runs on a full version of windows (ie. not Windows Mobile 5).

This lightweight 2.2 lb mini tablet from Motion Computing has an 8.4” screen and comes standard with integrated Bluetooth and wireless B/G capability.  The “bump case” shown at right is equipped with a shoulder strap for easy and safe portability when in service with your staff.  The above pictured docking stand allows for easy re-charging or use as a fixed terminal.  In future we expect to expand the wireless table application to food delivery and even service calls to process work orders right in the resident’s unit, all with the simple swipe of their Resident ID card. We also expect hardware technology advancements over the next year to further miniaturize tablets to a 5” screen and 1lb weight.

As we begin this exciting journey, we want to hear from you, our clients and future clients, to get your input and suggestions on what you’d like to be able to do with our new handheld tablet version of CARDWATCH.  CARDWATCH has always had the philosophy that the best ideas come from our clients!
