A study has shown that the restaurants providing robotic dining experience will benefit from tablets or touch screen tables with menus for ordering food and beverages.
The touch screen tables may also be used as a television or to watch the cooking process in the kitchen.
Beyond the table, The HAPIfork, powered by Slow Control, is an electronic fork that helps you monitor and track your eating habits. It also alerts you with the help of indicator lights and gentle vibrations when you are eating too fast. Every time you bring food from your plate to your mouth with your fork, this action is called: a “fork serving”. The HAPIfork also measures:
* How long it took to eat your meal.
* The amount of “fork servings” taken per minute.
* Intervals between “fork servings”.
This information is then uploaded via USB or Bluetooth to your Online Dashboard on HAPI.com to track your progress. The HAPIfork also comes with the HAPIfork and HAPI.com apps plus a coaching program to help improve your eating behavior.
As people are more conscious about health and eating habits, companies need to join the personalization revolution as technology gives consumers the ability to develop hyper-individualized paths to physical and mental health. Mintel believes people will increasingly use the results of data collection via wearables and biological tests to change their diets and lifestyles to improve their brain health, states of mind, and moods. The opportunity is for food brands to develop personalized recipes, custom diet plans, and individualized products.
