M3 Technologies (Asia) Berhad or M3 Tech, launches a self-ordering system, targeting restaurants and food outlets. The new Self-Order System (SOS) leverages on the company’s successful app-creative and digital signage technologies: i3 Apps and i3Display, respectively.

Aiming to provide an innovative solution, M3 Tech’s SOS will offer restaurateurs and food outlet owners a paperless and interactive system through its Professional Digital Menu. Patrons with smart devices can scan a QR code at the restaurant, where its menu will appear on the device almost instantaneously. Orders can then be place through the mobile device and routed to the restaurant’s staff directly.

According to M3 Tech, this is a novel and accurate way of ordering that eliminates delays or errors, enhancing the dining experience. Operating off a cloud-based Android OS platform, SOS is portable and familiar, with extremely affordable running costs.

Additionally, its Easy Food Menu Update feature gives restaurants the flexibility to modify and update their menus without incurring printing costs. Best of all, it eliminates the need for unsightly manual corrections for minor mistakes.

There will be additional enhancements to SOS, including the Intelligent Queue System (IQS), which is tentatively scheduled for an August launch. The system will be also be linked to M3 Tech’s i3Display digital signage, enabling additional functionality if display units are installed. The i3Display unit will be able to advertise the restaurant’s offerings, used to display daily specials, special offers, QR codes for downloading menus or fact sheets and make reservations.
