HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) Review
Was just having our regular meetings at the Coffee Bean this afternoon and was surprised the barista gave me this small gadget that looks like a fancy coaster.
The barista then tells me to watch out for the device to light up and vibrate telling me my order is ready.
Not sure how the wireless device operates on but I’m thinking it could be RFID if not WiFi.
I am told this was only rolled out in this branch earlier this week. Really geeky. Really helpful for large and busy coffee shops. I’m thinking some folks might bring these home as trophies. *heh*

Chatime has been using those ever since they started their first branch here. Serenitea has also been using the device for a while.

“I’m thinking some folks might bring these home as trophies.”
Is that what you did Abe? Hahaha!

This is very common in South Korea. Glad to hear Coffee Bean is using it as well.

Its also a common thing here in Sydney as well. Hope that not everyone there bring the device home with them.

They have this in Holly’s Coffee (a Korean coffee chain with a branch in Taft). It’s been there for quite some time now.

More likely RFID than WiFi — latter’s more expensive than the former. Also remember that Chatime and Coffee Bean both offer “free” WiFi, and those devices would eat up some of those IP addresses.
Could it also be BlueTooth?

They also have this in Chatime. Definitely an RFID, we use the same (smaller ones, as pins) in the hospital where I work to detect those who have failed to do hand hygiene.

It’s called a restaurant pager.

Cool. But they might lose some of that “personal touch” especially when they say
“Coffee blah blah for (insert name here)” :)
Pero at least the coffee shop will be less noisy.

Yeah, Chatime and Serenitea has been using these for a while now. Nagtataka nga ako kung bakit wala pang ganyan yung mga ibang big coffee shops dito eh.

Encountered it at Krispy Kreme South Korea. Though it was flawed. Kind of nice instead of baristas shouting out their soul.

It’s really amazing. It’s very useful in a crowded coffee place.

Thank you so much for this recipe! I’m visiting my boyfriend in Pittsburgh this month, and it is FREEZING there. But this seems like just the thing to keep us warm ?
