E La Carte Raises $4M From Groupon Co-Founders To Bring Tablets To Restaurant Tables

E la Carte, a company that develops a tableside tablet for the restaurant and related hospitality industries, has raised $4 million in funding from Lightbank, the venture fund created by Groupon co-founders Eric Lefkofsky and Brad Keywell. The Y Combinator-backed startup previously raised more than $1 million from angel investors including SV Angel, Dave McClure, Joshua Schachter, Roy Rodenstein, and Skip Sack, a former board member and SVP at Applebee?s chain of restaurants. As we've written in the past, E la Carte launched 'Presto,' earlier this year to bring user-friendly tablets to restaurants to bring efficiency to the tableside and ordering experience. The 7-inch tablet includes a digital menu that lets you sift through the restaurant's food and drink selection via photos and detailed descriptions using a touch-screen interface. There's also a section for Games, including trivia and a drawing app. And, finally, there's a tab for paying.
