The OTG Airport Experience at EWR
NEWARK, N.J., Sept. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines and OTG Management LLC today announced plans to transform the dining and retail experience at the airline's hub at Newark Liberty International Airport and create unparalleled services and amenities for United's customers. The program will combine leading-edge technology, award-winning dining and renowned design.
The $120 million capital investment for the project will be provided by OTG, selected by United to oversee the transformation in Terminal C at Newark Liberty, including new chef-driven restaurants, expansive food halls, gourmet markets and world-class retail and duty-free shops.

they are all over YYZ T1.
What they did was take over virtually all the hold room area (where you sit to wait for your flight) with ipads that let you order food and bev.
I think its a bit obnoxious myself, but might be a much better option for F&B than anyone will get onboard

We'll also get a whole bunch of knock-off names for restaurants, as OTG doesn't franchise brands (local or national).

So if you had a favorite at EWR Terminal C like Gallagher's, it will be gone, or replaced with a parody brand. Kind of like if the writers of The Naked Gun came up with restaurant names.

I wish UA would spend some time "Re-Imagining" their operational performance instead of focusing on making their delays more "consumer friendly" at their hubs...

I agree -- I rather take EWR Term C over LGA's CTB any day (minus LGA's UC). Term A is supposed to get a complete overhaul + expansion (forgot the timeline for that but the drawings/plans look impressive).
