Ordering food like Picard
Listen now
Description
There is a recurring bit in Star Trek: The Next Generation where Capt. Picard orders "Tea. Early Grey. Hot." and the ship's computer magically makes one appear. Though the all-knowing, all-doing computer of the Enterprise served as the inspiration for Amazon's Alexa, right now, her food producing skills are still a bit slim. Orderscape, a young B2B startup, is looking to change that by creating a voice ordering software layer that uses smart speakers like Alexa to let people order from restaurants just by speaking.
