When you go out to eat at Applebee’s next year, don’t wait around for a waiter to bring you a menu, Applebee’s will provide you an Intel-Backed E la Carte Presto tablet on your table that will give you instant ordering as soon as you are seated. The chain restaurant will install 100K units in 1800 locations next year.
