NCR Corp has a new Hand-Held Order Entry system, the 2750, for restaurants, bringing the power of a point of sale system to the server’s hand, using miniature hand-held technology: the system transmits orders from the dining area to the kitchen or the bar, replacing the traditional pad and pencil and increasing the speed of ordering – and the units can be used outdoors as well as in by virtue of the system’s ability to use radio frequency transmissions to link to the 2760 terminal, which routes the order to the kitchen or bar; a minimum configuration is some $10,000.
