International visitors and locals who feel more comfortable with a language other than English can hear the menu in Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Mandarin, Japanese, German, Russian or a custom language. Perry says she recently received an inquiry from a Saskatchewan restaurant interested in having its menu in Czech.
Menu changes are made online. Forty-eight hours later, the restaurant owner can plug the menu devices into her computer’s USB port and download the changes spoken by professional actors or update the devices using a flash memory card. Perry says the company is working on wireless updating.
Restaurants can lease five units for $120 a month or buy all five for $3,500. Restaurants in San Antonio, Texas, and Boca Raton have the units. Perry says that Disney is evaluating the device. She is working with four or five chain restaurants and also has had inquiries from the National Park Service.
