KT announced on the 25th that it will showcase its table-ordering service "HiOrder" at its exhibition booth during MWC26, which opens in Barcelona, Spain on March 2.
The company plans to introduce HiOrder as an example of "K-Food Tech"—Korean dining culture combined with digital technology—as part of its strategy to enter global markets.
At the exhibition, visitors can experience the entire ordering process firsthand, from selecting tteok-kkochi (rice cake skewers) and yuzu ade on a tablet screen to completing payment. HiOrder supports 13 foreign languages, enabling international customers to place orders without staff assistance. The system features instant language switching and an intuitive user interface displaying food images to lower language barriers.
An AI-based image generation function allows new menu items to be created and updated immediately. The service also enhances order accuracy with detailed options for vegan and allergy preferences, and supports split-payment functionality for group visits.
"We plan to promote the competitiveness of K-Food Tech and showcase digital transformation cases for small business owners to the world through MWC," said Kang Lee-hwan, Executive Vice President and Head of KT's Small Business Division.
