It is about to go to the next level with Google Lens using that to provide a new ways to help diners decide what to order simply by pointing their phone at the menu.
Restauranters such as Marisa Tatangelo-Ferri and Nataly Sanchez at Table 426 are ready to embrace the new technology likely to start the next craze in the ever changing world of smart phone usage.

Ms Sanchez hopes people won't stop giving feedback in person when they leave the restaurant. She said the personal touch and customer interaction is still very important to the team at Table 426. They hope that never disappears. "We are human and if something does happen to go wrong we like to know straight away".
