Smart Table Solutions and Applications

Smart Table Solutions

“Smart table” is a general term for table-type products. Tables may seem simple, but there is plenty of room for development—it just takes great imagination and technology to bring ideas to life. Specific smart table solutions, such as Yingtone Zhongchuang’s smart coffee table and smart dining table solutions, can be understood through their design philosophy.

Against the backdrop of “Internet Plus,” the catering industry has also been ushered into the “smart era,” and the concept of the smart restaurant has begun to emerge—not only because smart restaurants can enhance the dining experience, but more importantly because they can solve the difficult problems facing the catering industry described above.

What Is a Smart Dining Table?

A smart dining table is a self-service device for the catering industry. It uses a pneumatic system to fill cups with wine and pour tea, a temperature-control system to rapidly heat beverages, an audio system for self-service ordering, a concealed waste compartment to hide trash, and a concealed tissue compartment for self-service tissue dispensing.

Functions of the Smart Dining Table

The smart dining table employs touch technology integrated with modern furniture manufacturing techniques, with a beautiful and practical design. It has all the functions of an ordinary table—items can be placed freely on the tabletop. Once powered on, it becomes a smart dining table with an extra-large touch screen, built-in rich APP applications, and tablet-smooth touch response—naturally eye-catching. It is also waterproof, stain-resistant, heat-resistant, sturdy, and durable, making it a smart interactive device suitable for dining and leisure venues such as restaurants, KTV, and bars.

The smart ordering system is tailor-developed around the smart dining table’s performance characteristics. Simple to operate and powerful, it delivers customer service experience and interaction through ordering, payment, and entertainment.

Placed in a business office environment, you can swipe through the interactive interface over tea while introducing products and services to visitors, closing deals in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Placed at home, you can share photos with family and friends, or play Chinese chess, games, and learn characters with your children.

Technologies Used in the Smart Dining Table

Anti-vandal and heat-resistant, sturdy and durable: Vandal-resistant, it can withstand forceful blows; heat-resistant, hot dishes can be placed on it with confidence; long service life, and a simple wipe restores its like-new shine.

The smart dining table is truly convenient and intelligent. In the future when dining out, there will be no need to call a waiter for a menu—the dining table transforms into a giant tablet; order dishes at the table and call the waiter for a water refill. You can even note your taste preferences when ordering, and the chef will see them clearly upon receiving the order. Technological development has brought us such a convenient life—it is truly wonderful.
