Digital food menus are great, but when a restaurant really wants to add them and is limited by overhead costs and a budget - or their bottom line - sometimes they may avoid adding technological amenities to the mix over fear of cost versus return on investment. Regardless of the fact that such digital menus truly pay for themselves in about one to three years (when compared to the annual cost of reprinting static paper menus), some places just don't have the cash on hand to fully implement these desirable digital doodads. While iPad tablets remain a popular choice for digital menus, their Android counterparts are equally as reliable, just as feature laden and cost far less money to purchase. In short, Android tablets offer the cost conscious restaurateur with a feasible financial approach to upgrading their eatery to the modern age.
Comparatively Android Food Menus are More Affordable
By comparison, one can easily find discount deals on Android tablets on the internet, or through wholesale brokers. This allows for an even greater savings. With iPad tablets, they generally have a set cost per unit, and even when purchased in bulk, only so much of a savings can be realized. Since more companies manufacture Android tablets - as they are not signature to one maker, like iPads are - they can be acquired for a much greater bargain, which lowers the cost of adding Android food menus to an establishment.
Both Types of Tablets Offer Ease of Use & Convenience
Comparing features, there is not a whole lot that's different between the Apple and Android. Sure, they both operate on a different platform (Linux/PC), but that's about it. Both tablets connect to the internet and feature millions of downloadable applications. Both are fast and reliable, and both have touch screen displays-which make Android food menus the more cost effective option.
Costs of Android Tablets vs. Printing Paper Menus
The cost is the largest factor of this equation. So let's do some quick math here. Any restaurant has annual costs of reprinting paper menus associated with their overhead. Let's just assume that a restaurant spends about $500 per year on printing paper menus. Meanwhile, they could be using Android food menus that cost about $70 per tablet at bulk discount rates, and say they needed about 12 tablets (which costs about $820 plus tax), that's an easily realized break-even during the first year and half. The real profit comes when sales increase thanks to the digital menus, of which the average business reports about a 15-20% sales increase during the first year. As you can see, it doesn't make sense not to have digital menus during the present day.
