Live by technology and die by technology

Horrible photo of the beer menu board at Central City, Beatty Street, Vancouver, BC

At the new Red Racer restaurant there is a large video display that lists all of the beers and ciders available on tap, along with the prices and how much remains in the barrel. (Please excuse the horrible photo taken on the sly from the bar.)

The computer that controls the display runs on Windows 8. And that is why the display has been hijacked by the date and time in the lower left corner, and the "search, share, start, devices, settings" options on the left.

Two problems.

1. This video hijacking happened
2. None of the staff noticed it for an hour.

Red Racer is a very nice space with a remarkable range of beers. However, as in any hospitality business, there are a million little details that set the good apart from the great.
