To All You Americans

I need some info from american users of this forum. Its partly for my biz research.

Are computers used widely in restaurants in the US?


EDIT: posted to wrong section so changed message.

I'm looking to employ people in the US. Do you have a government backed employment agency like the job centre in the UK, where i can advertise jobs, which will be shown throughout the country? or do you just have regional or private employment agencies?

By the way i want to be able to register through the internet.

Thanx

Can POS be used to recieve emails?

Well, I'm not sure what you mean.

New PCs are used by cashiers and stuff...and i have even seen waiters carry around laptops to take your order! pretty tight! but like i have never seen a place to where you can walk up and use computers that arent urs in a restruant

What i need to know is if PC's are commonly used in restaurants/fast food outlets.

I know some restaurants have them, but is this a common phenomenon?

I think i'll do a search for POS machines on google as well to find out what features they have.
