But standard digital contactless menus aren't very flexible. They aren't easily updated for special occasions like Valentine's Day or Restaurant Week. What's more, many guests find them foreign to navigate and prefer the layout of a printed menu.  The GoTab team dedicated tremendous time and effort to the redesign and reorganization of its digital menus to make them function more like a traditional print menu. </p> </p> <p>Informed by menu engineering best practices and customer feedback, GoTab's new menu features give operators the ability to easily display separate menus for special occasions like Valentine's Day or Mother's Day; or unique meal times; i.e., breakfast, brunch, lunch &amp; dinner. GoTab operators can now highlight best-sellers or spotlight cost-efficient offerings. This translates to a dynamic display of food and beverage options, as well as a better browsing experience, leading to higher customer spend and satisfaction. Customers have the ability to search and filter based on their preferences or dietary restrictions. </p> <p>&quot;Our operators are experiencing a huge transformation in guest ordering and dining preferences. We want to make it easy for them to flex their digital menus to give their guests a familiar, personalized dining experience,&quot; says <span class="xn-person">Tim McLaughlin</span>, GoTab CEO.</p><p>GoTab's contactless menu capabilities offer operators ample flexibility - for instance, they can easily 86 ingredients or menu items, which automatically (and in real-time) updates all of the related published menus.

South Korean golfers trying to win Asian Games to be free from military duty

NAGOYA, Japan — A gold medal for two South Korean golfers at the Asian Games would mean more than a chunk of metal to dangle around their necks. For Kim Joo-hyung and Kim Seong-hyeon, winning gold at the Asian Games — in the men's individual or team event — would excuse them from mandatory military service at home. Kim Joo-hyung goes by Tom Kim when he plays on the PGA Tour, and Kim Seong-hyeon goes by S.H. Kim. Under any name, they got a good start in the first round on Wednesday toward landing the exemption. The final round is Saturday. “I am 100% nervous,” S.H. Kim said. “A lot of pressure.” He added he's struggling with knee and back injuries and was not optimistic about his chances in the individual event. “Team gold is easier,” he said. Japan led the men's team competition after the first round, with South Korea and China two strokes behind. In the individual event, Wang Wei-hsuan of Taiwan and Kazuki Higa of Japan were tied at 5-under 65 atop the leaderboard at Kasugi Country Club. Mun Do-yeob, the third member of the South Korea team, was tied with four others at 4-under 66. Unlike his teammates, 35-year-old Mun doesn't need the exemption. In South Korea most men serve 18-21 months of military service. “I already finished my military service so I don’t really think about the military (exemption)," Mun said. “But I want to play good, so we make our team get a gold medal... to make sure they don't go to the military.” The format is 72 holes of stroke play. The teams are made up of three players, but only the best two scores count each day toward the team total. Mun led South Korea with a 66 and Tom Kim shot 67. S.H. Kim shot a 68, so his score was excluded from the team total of 133. Japan was in at 131 with Higa's 65 and a 66 by Keita Nakajima. “I went to the military really early,” Mun said. “It gave me a lot of experience, but I was lucky that I could play a little bit of golf at the army. Maybe three times a week. “I was teaching golf and I was picking up the golf balls from the generals’ driving range. But now they don’t have those kind of (assignments).”

76ers try to stay cool as LeBron James brings extra attention to start of season

76ers try to stay cool as LeBron James brings extra attention to start of season

CAMDEN, New Jersey — The answers Anfernee Simons gamely tried to offer about the first day of 76ers training camp were suddenly drowned out by the furious whirring overhead of a helicopter leaving the team's complex. LeBron James ' helicopter. James indeed used the rotorcraft for the rich to take him after practice from New Jersey to presumably close to wherever he decided to live in New York. The helicopter noises are usually reserved for when billionaire team owner Josh Harris lands at the complex for the NBA draft or a major news conference. Not anymore. The Sixers were quickly caught in the whirlwind of the first days of the LeBron Effect, even as a pair of players and coach Nick Nurse professed all was good on the court. Off the court, make room. Sixers staff moved the news conference backdrop from a corner where a few dozen reporters are usually stuffed to shout questions at Joel Embiid or Tyrese Maxey to a spot closer toward midcourt for a roomier feel for the more than 50 credentialed reporters, bloggers, TV camera operators and more that came to get an early report card on James' official first day as a Sixer. James was gone Tuesday by the time media was allowed on the court to watch practice. Embiid, Maxey, former Boston star Jaylen Brown, they were all absent, too, a day after holding court on media day. Nurse is starting his fourth season as coach of the Sixers. He's used to handling the demands that come with working in a major market and dealing with star players in Philly such as with Embiid and his daily injury report or the high drama that surrounded former Sixer James Harden. Nurse did say he had conversations with the team about looking out for each other and staying connected while navigating a spotlight season — especially early — that already has a postseason-type of aura around the franchise before the Sixers even played a game. “It is going to be different,” Nurse said. “More people, more eyes, more stories, more national TV. All that kind of stuff. It's the same, just a little more. I'm just trying to get to the practice floor and to the game floor. If we can do those two things, all that other stuff, we'll just kind of handle it as smoothly as we can.” Nurse called the sight of so much talent “impressive” once the Sixers hit the floor for practice. James is a future Hall of Famer. Embiid has certainly built a strong case. Brown was an NBA Finals MVP and champion with the Celtics. Maxey earned his first All-Star start last season and has blossomed into an elite talent. The fifth starter is more than just, oh, that other guy. VJ Edgecombe was third in rookie of the year voting last season and his buoyant personality and defensive playmaking made him an instant fan favorite and immediate force in helping the Sixers return last season to the playoffs. Edgecombe worked out with James over the summer and volunteered that he orchestrated the starting five group text thread — well, once he asked Maxey for James' number. That was all cool. Yet the magnitude of the moment truly hit him ahead of practice when James put on his No. 23 jersey in the same locker room as Edgecombe. The 21-year-old Edgecombe tried not to get starstruck. He called James a teammate, a brother, a Sixer who will fight on the court side by side with them to chase the franchise's first championship since 1983. Maybe. But he's still LeBron James. “It's like, damn, that's still Bron,” Edgecombe said with a laugh. “He was in the locker room and I'm like, oh, that's Bron over there. His locker was open. He was in there before everybody as usual. He dapped me up, he's like, ‘what up? what up?’ We know each other for a minute.” Edgecombe smiled as he tried to convince himself he's expunged the fan boy from his system. “I ain't gonna be like that no more,” Edgecombe said to laughter. True to his word, Edgecombe said he had to get loud during practice and give James some defensive instruction on when to switch off. “We forgot. We messed up a switch,” Edgecombe said. “But that's what happens. We're getting to know each other. It's a new system for him. Everything is on the fly right now.” It was soon time for James to fly home — all while the Sixers basked in the successful first day of what could be the NBA ride of a lifetime.

Ryoma bucks heat, ‘discomfort’ to seize ICTSI Iloilo lead

Ryoma bucks heat, ‘discomfort’ to seize ICTSI Iloilo lead

MANILA, Philippines – Playing 18 holes in a bowtie under the sweltering heat of an exacting golf course is hardly the ideal recipe for a breakthrough. Yet Miki Ryoma did just that Wednesday, shrugging off the discomfort – and seemingly everything else the Iloilo Golf and Country Club threw at him – to fire a near-flawless 66 and emerge as the bewildered leader halfway through the ICTSI Iloilo Golf Challenge here. The 35-year-old Japanese kept his cool in conditions that tested patience and precision, matching the aggressive charge of a slew of local aces before pulling ahead by one with a clutch run of pars for a six-under 134, one stroke ahead of first-round leader Jhonnel Ababa. “I hit all fairways, reached all greens and made five birdies against one bogey,” said the amiable Ryoma, whose assessment underscored the key to surviving the par-70 layout: “The most important thing on this course is the tee shot.” His performance was all the more remarkable considering the heat that replaced the stiff winds of the opening round, without making the course any less demanding. Tough pin placements, tight fairways, thick rough and slick greens continued to punish even the slightest lapse. Ryoma, however, stayed within himself. While most of the leading contenders opted for caution on a layout that demanded patience and precision, he continued to trust his long game, pulling the driver 10 times and consistently putting himself in position to attack. “I didn’t play steady in the first round but hit it solid today. But you really have to be in the fairway to get a chance to make birdies,” said Ryoma, a Saitama native whose closest brush with a Philippine Golf Tour title came in his rookie campaign in 2016, when he lost to Tony Lascuña by one at Eagle Ridge. A decade later, after a string of underwhelming finishes, Ryoma suddenly found himself just 36 holes away from the PGT crown that has eluded him. But the Japanese journeyman knows there is still a long way to go. Ababa, the opening-round leader, slipped to second at 135 after a 68, surrendering the top spot after a bogey on the first hole and a stretch of eight straight pars on the front nine. “Sobrang hirap ng course at sobrang init. Hindi mo talaga masasabi kung gaganda ang score mo sa isang araw,” said Ababa, acknowledging the challenges and test that await each bidder in the P2.5 million championship organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, inc. “Sa bandang dulo, medyo nag-play safe ako dahil hindi maganda ang tee shot,” said the former Order of Merit winner, adding that he never felt pressured, especially with his putting clicking. Ira Alido made the biggest move of the day, turning in a fiery 65 to charge into contention at 136. After a bogey on No. 2, Alido caught fire, making six birdies over the next 16 holes to share third with fellow bemedalled campaigners Reymon Jaraula and Clyde Mondilla. Jaraula and Mondilla had both been part of a four-way tie for the lead midway through the day but stumbled in the stretch. Jaraula suffered a double bogey on No. 13 and another bogey before checking the slide with a birdie on the 17th, salvaging another 68. Mondilla looked poised to take control after a four-birdie burst on the front nine but wavered late, making two bogeys over the last four holes to settle for a second straight 68 and a share of third. Art Arbole, meanwhile, continued his bid to build on last week's breakthrough in Negros Occidental, where he ended a 14-year wait for a PGT title. He was four-under with two holes left to play from No. 10 and appeared headed to pull within a stroke of Ryoma, only to bogey the eighth and scramble for par on the last for a 67. Still, the round moved him to 137, just three shots off the pace, alongside Francis Morilla and Rupert Zaragosa, who carded 67 and 69, respectively. The leaderboard remained tightly packed, with another group lurking just a shot farther back. Young Kristoffer Arevalo shot a 67 to lead the 138 scorers, joined by James Ryan Lam, Jeffren Lumbo and Lakewood leg winner Justin Quiban. Lam also briefly threatened to take control, reaching three-under with four holes left before a bogey on No. 7 and a double bogey on No. 8 knocked him back. He birdied the ninth to salvage another 69. Lumbo, runner-up to Arbole last week, birdied two of his final six holes to likewise post a second straight 69. Quiban, meanwhile, refused to be discouraged by his opening 72. After a bogey on No. 14, he bounced back, ripping off five birdies over the last 13 holes to shoot a 66 and thrust himself into the mix. But for all the movement around him, the day ultimately belonged to Ryoma. He matched Ababa's three-birdie burst from No. 10 before a three-putt bogey on No. 13 briefly halted his momentum. He responded by grinding out a string of pars, then picked up birdies on Nos. 3 and 5 before safely navigating the difficult closing holes. The surprising part? Ryoma didn't even know he had taken the outright lead. “I didn't know I'm in the top during the round, so I didn’t feel any pressure. I just wanted to play good on this course,” he said. Perhaps that was just as well. Ryoma arrived in Iloilo coming off a tied-18th finish in Negros Occidental, his best result in four PGT starts this season as he continues to shuttle between the Philippines and Japan, where he also competes. And then there was the bowtie. In the punishing Iloilo heat, Ryoma played the first 36 holes dressed in the unusual accessory, an idea he admits he hasn't exactly embraced. “I really don’t like wearing it. I’m not comfortable,” he said with a smile, pointing at the bowtie. His wife, however, has other ideas. “She told me to wear it every round, every tournament,” he said. Ryoma, who has built a modest following on YouTube, said his wife came up with the idea of adding something “extraordinary” to his look in hopes of giving him a distinctive presence on social media. The bowtie certainly did that. On Wednesday, though, it was Ryoma's golf that stole the show. Despite the heat, the humidity and the awkwardness around his neck, he found the fairways, hit the greens, made the birdies when they mattered – and walked off the course with a one-shot lead and a genuine shot at the title. The bowtie may have been his wife's idea. The 66 was all Ryoma. TMT
