W: In our high-tech globe today, everybody seems to be technology-happy. Tonight in our studio is Danny Potter, the owner of an exciting and innovative restaurant in London's Soho District. Are there any specialties that you'd like to recommend?
M: Actually, we don't have any big-name cooks, nor any famous specialties.
W: Then why is your restaurant so popular in the district? Maybe you hire pretty waitresses as your secret weapon.
M: I wish I could, but they ask for a higher salary than what I can afford.
W: With customers having to reserve tables several days in advance, you soon can afford them. Haha... Do tell us your secret.
M: Well, our restaurant is a totally new concept one. For a start, there are no real menus. (23) Each table has its own projector, and the virtual menus are projected onto a touchscreen at your table, enabling the order to be sent straight to the kitchen.
W: Then when the dishes are cooked, who will serve them? I don't think the projectors can do it.
M: Definitely not. (24) Drinks and food are brought out by a real person, but everything else, including payment, is handled by the touchscreen. There are waiters on hand to answer any questions about the menus.
W: It will save a lot of time especially during the busy lunch hours.
M: You are right. (25) My idea about this virtual menu came from my frustration at being unable to get the waiter's attention in busy restaurants when I was ready to order, and again when it was time to get the bill.
