Let us know how it goes this weekend - I'm super curious!
They are incredibly laggy (pages took 5-10 seconds to load), they picked duplicate pictures for some girls (repeats within of the 5 different thumbnails), and customers looked at them for maybe 30 seconds on average before trying to find a place to get rid of them so they could actually talk to the girl sitting beside them. Girls are listed in alphabetical order. A few other girls and I got requested for a big $$$ group in the CR, not by the tablet, but by the hostess, even though the tablets were up and running.
Edit: Oh and, I just realized. A guy I sat with for a minute or so accidentally put in an order for me while I was sitting with him. I got up and left, and no floor guy ever found me! In fact, I never actually saw a single staff member with a tablet in their hand. LOL. God this is the stupidest thing ever, I hope it's over soon.

It's like one more thing we have to take their attention from as if the game and their cellphone doesn't already take attention away from us.



Sounds kinda awful.... Interesting, but awful. The only thing that I can relate to is the advanced booking component. I worked at a club that made nearly all of its $ from VIP rooms, so they decided to start this thing where guys could book a girl, in advanced. Then, the club created the schedule around the bookings (business was down and there were too many girls anyway--the club thought that they would boost sales by scheduling the most popular girls). Customers didn't pay when they made the booking. At first, this just led to the same girls working all the time. The club lost customers because the regulars of girls were weren't top bookers went away. The popular girls got pissed off because they would come in for shifts expecting VIPS without having to hustle, then they'd still have to hustle because their appointments never showed up. Eventually, most of the people who used system were the girls themselves. I'd have my regulars book sessions that I knew they wouldn't come in for on the nights I wanted to work, so I could come in and work. All of the dancers did this. Then management got wise to our scheme and stopped the madness.
If the guys had to pay upfront, maybe that would be cool...? But it seems like most guys would rather be approached and made to feel like a unique and beautiful snowflake before handing over their wallets. I also would hate to give the customers the power to leave me a public rating. I don't do extras and could see a-holes leaving bad reviews for obeying the law. I've had customers get really pissed after a VIP because I wouldn't give them whatever nonsense they demanded, then tell other customers that my dances suck. Club gossip is one thing--people can see who's doing the talking and decide how reliable that person is. A bad rating on a computer screen is another story.
I doubt a system like this will boost liquor sales enough to sustain itself.
Well the club isn't paying anything for it at the moment, so unfortunately the numbers won't matter. It's paid for by liquor brand sponsors - So say a girl's preferred spirit is Vodka, and Belvedere is our Vodka sponsor - now every girl in the club who drinks Vodka will be drinking Belvedere. Say it's champagne, and Moet &Chandon is the champagne sponsor, every girl who orders champagne will now automatically get Moet. That will make a bit of a difference to the sponsors, but you're right, I don't suspect it will boost liquor sales tremendously for the club.
Although I'm still not sure who our sponsors are, because I was busy making money and didn't bother checking.
And of course, this is all still in theory, because I doubt anyone's actually going to use the tablets a whole lot, after witnessing the launch this weekend.
