According to the recently released National Restaurant Association report "Restaurant Industry 2020: A Snapshot of the Future," Industry competition will continue to intensify in the years ahead, and operators will have to focus on offering elevated levels of food and service in tandem with technological enhancements. Nirvana XP taps into development by teaming up with Epson and providing restaurants with the best technology available for enhanced service.

The National Restaurant Association report also states that "nearly four in 10 consumers say they will be likely to use an electronic ordering system and menus on tablet computers." Nirvana XP and Epson together enable consumers to more easily place in-store, takeout and delivery orders and provide feedback from their mobile devices.
