Tabletop media/pay at table are number four on our list of the 2014 Fast Casual Top 100 Movers and Shakers: Technologies.

The use of tabletop media with pay-at-the-table services continues to intrigue customers, which means more operators are embracing it.

Buffalo Wild Wings, for example, recently has partnered with NTN Buzztime on a tablet that brings a new kind of entertainment to the table. The technology includes trivia, arcade-style games and music, in addition to menu-ordering and bill-pay. It also allows guests to play against each other and against guests sitting at other tables or at other restaurant locations.

Another example is pay-at-the-table provider Tabbedout, which created Periscope, a set of tools that allows merchants to see whether customers are new or regulars and to keep track of their average bill. Customers also can use it to give real-time feedback about their experiences.
