Point of View
Once again NY and Times Square used as a showcase, this time for Taco Bell. Elotouch all-in-one computers mounted on wall and countertops. We’ll see how long this lasts. GenX and GenZ are the targets. Marriott Fairfields (in NYC) added contactless arrival kiosks recently. A wall of self-checkout vending at Maryland hotels. Nice article in Spring 2021 issue on kiosks in hotel lobbies. And now ghost kitchens in Walmart. Who saw that coming? On a related note the check-in RFP for the US government (1600 units) is a case study in check-in and accessibility.

- Trivia – one “best design” kiosk deployer approached us needing to replace one of the screens. Turns out the “best design” award winner didn’t use standard VESA mounts and requires a custom-built adapter. So much for award-winning bestowing best design judges….
