According to Escapism media, the company behind the tables, drinkers who order remotely become more creative, frequently leaving their lager comfort zone for spirits and cocktails.

The union's Rayhan Rafiq Omar told silicon.com the touchscreen ordering will save students having to wrestle with a throng of drinkers to get served. The union is also looking at new ways to earn money from the tables including sponsorship and by opening the system up to advertisers.
