Self service kiosk

Self service kiosk

A self-service kiosk is a machine that allows customers to place orders, make payments, and perform other tasks without the assistance of a human employee. These kiosks are often found in restaurants, retail stores, and other places where customers may want to quickly and easily complete transactions without waiting in line or interacting with a cashier. Some self-serving kiosks are designed to be used by customers on their own, while others may have a human employee nearby to provide assistance if needed.

Self service kiosk restaurant

If you’re a restaurant, cafe or fast casual food outlet and looking for opportunities to make operations more efficient, or simply ways to reduce operating costs, then a self service kiosk can work for your format. The key factor to consider is these systems are highly suitable for takeaway customers who want to grab and go. Formats that operate both a takeaway and dine in format can set up a self service lane using the kiosk whilst providing dine in service accordingly. Counter operations are now freed up of one team member who can be used in speeding up service delivery or your staff footprint reduced by one. Goodness Gracious, a longtime partner of Host, has reduced wage costs by 15% across their three venues but most importantly, have been able to operate with greater resilience when staff shortages or unforeseen sicknesses arise.
