When it comes to the modern dining experience, some would argue that there has been a shift away from technology (think restaurants that offer discounts for not using your smartphone) but what we're seeing with these tech-focused dining innovations is that the modern diner craves smart integration. Aside from just being confined to the dining room of restaurants, we're seeing consumers incorporating smart devices like interactive dining room tables and the like into their personal spaces.
As mentioned above regarding smartphone use, we're even seeing some dining experiences force diners back onto their devices by eliminating menus or others that offer specials strictly on a tablet. Looking to disconnect? These tech-focused dining experiences are likely not going to be up your alley.
