In today’s consumer culture, efficiency is king. However, we’re not just seeing fast food joints pushing for faster service these days.

Mom and pop joints, casual eateries, cafes and more are pushing to provide quicker service times for their customers. Everyday consumers themselves are also expecting more streamlined ordering processes in all aspects of their consumer journey. 


But how does one improve efficiency during a time of labor shortage? One incredibly accessible solution is to add self-ordering kiosks to your restaurant model. Not only do self-ordering kiosks help you save money on staff and labor, they can also make you more money with increased sales and the ability to increase orders without increased workloads. In addition, self-ordering kiosks are user-friendly, approachable and cloud base, enabling easy integrations with our cloud based POS systems.

How Kiosks Save you Time and Money

No need to hire more employees to expedite more orders. With direct payments and cloud integration, much of the back and forth is eliminated while orders are submitted straight to the kitchen. Your POS system will automatically update to include the kiosk orders, no manual re-entry necessary. This alleviates the strain on you and your staff, cutting down wait times for guests and reducing long lines in your restaurant without losing the amount of orders you’re receiving. In addition, kiosks can reduce money lost on human error. When taking orders, there is bound to be miscommunication or mistakes. With self-ordering kiosks, the customers themselves have more control over what they are ordering and the ability to check their orders before they swipe their cards.
