Why touch screen is used in restaurants?
Because of its accuracy, the software in a touch screen system ensures that food items will not be over- or under-ordered through the supply chain, avoiding spoilage and shortfalls. Various sales, ordering and delivery information is readily available, depending on the type of software used by the restaurant.
How do modern touch screens work?
Touchscreens work using electricity. The screen is made of glass, an insulating material – it cannot carry an electric current. The surface of the screen is therefore coated with a thin layer of an electrically conducting material such as indium tin oxide. This is chosen because it is transparent.
How do touch screens sense touch?
Capacitive screens are made up of multiple layers of glass and plastic, coated with a conductor material like indium tin oxide or copper. This conductive material responds when contacted by another electrical conductor, like your bare finger.
