Coaster With a Message: Your Table Is Ready

In an interesting article in The New York Times, we learn that fashionable restaurants are using paging systems to look for better ways to move diners in and out quickly, such as the coaster pager which lights up when the table is ready, developped by UK Long Range Systems or another paging device that calls a customer's cellphone and plays a recorded message, "allowing them go browse at Barnes & Noble across the street without worrying about losing their table". Sounds cool.
