McDonalds kiosk – The evolution of fast-food. More people + automation equation.
McDonalds kiosk is simply responding to competition from other chains that have offered “enhanced burgers,” said Hilda Fahey, a company representative who was in Simcoe to help with the changeover to the new services at the Queensway East restaurant.
“We have 35 different people we didn’t have before,” Maskell said on a Wednesday afternoon while preparing for an opening that night for the new services.
More people are needed in the kitchen, he explained, to service the customers out front.
McDonald’s also has added what it calls “guest experience leaders” – women and men in uniform who are in front of the counter helping people to their seats, delivering them food, or assisting them at the kiosk.
Mary Tout, who started doing the job last February, said part of her role includes letting customers about what’s going on in the area.
“People love the socialization,” she said. “They think because there’s a kiosk, they’re not going to be speaking to a person.”
The rumors were true. Apple is ditching the headphone jack from the iPhone 7 in favor of headphones that connect via the lightning adapter or wirelessly via Bluetooth.

Services like RedBox have been delivering movies to the masses for more than 15 years but hiring out discs via a vending machine is always bound to cause problems. So how about a nice touchscreen shopping mall kiosk that dumps the latest movies to a USB stick for a few cents each?
Spotted by a TorrentFreak reader in a shopping mall in Ethiopia, this bright yellow kiosk looks like an ATM. However, on closer inspection it reveals itself to be a self-service media machine that does everything that RedBox can do (and more) without a plastic disc in sight.

Free Trend Report: Why Location Is the New Currency of Marketing
Finding effective ways to deliver branded messages in today’s complex media environment is one of the biggest challenges facing advertisers. Traditional methods of advertising have become less effective as consumers spend less time in places where marketers have traditionally had an advantage in reaching them. In addition, consumer attention has fragmented across multiple channels as media options and device platforms increasingly diversify.
Active consumers spend money, and while they are going about their daily routine, they are also actively looking for information. According to Google, more than 50% of all mobile searches have local intent, and 17% of search happens while consumers are on the go.
Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising, also known as Digital Place-based (DPb) media, utilizes strategically placed, networked digital signage displays to reach on-the-go consumers while they are outside of their home with highly targeted messages. Location-based mobile and digital out-of-home media are part of a larger multiscreen ecosystem that effectively amplifies brand messages to create a deeper level of engagement with active consumers.
Why Location Is the New Currency of Marketing is aimed at CMOs, media buyers and strategists and provides insight into why marketers are increasingly shifting their advertising dollars to these rapidly emerging media platforms.
James Bickers, known to many readers of this site as the former editor for KioskMarketplace.com, died after a long illness on Sept. 29, 2016, in Louisville, Ky.
The journalist, who also was a local celebrity for his work in radio, was 45 years old. He is survived by his wife, Nancy, and three school-age children, Miles, Lucy and Ellery.

Bickers began his career at Networld Media Group in 2005 as the editor of KioskMarketplace.com. Later, as he watched self-service technology increasingly be deployed alongside flatscreens with bespoke content, he pitched to Networld the idea for a site that would cover display technology and its new and varied uses. The resulting site, DigitalSignageToday.com, quickly became one of the best trafficked and most profitable sites for the tech publisher. Ever the entrepreneur, he used his broadcasting gifts to create a strong webinar program for Networld sites, created a research department that produced high-end reports for site readers, and developed and launched another Networld property, RetailCustomerExperience.com.
In addition to his work behind the keyboard and the microphone, Bickers frequently attended tradeshows and hosted several summits for Networld before leaving to take what he referred to his as his “dream job,” morning host of the local NPR affiliate, WFPL.
“James was one the most creative, talented people I’ve ever worked with,” said Joseph Grove, the former executive editor of Networld Media Group, who hired Bickers in 2005 after being impressed with his freelance work.
“Not only that, he was also among the kindest,” said Grove, who now works in marketing for Olea Kiosks “There were many, many days when he was swamped with reporting duties, webinar assignments and research deadlines. But he’d still drop everything to volunteer to help a co-worker. I came to value him as a friend, and his death is a huge blow to me and to the thousands of people who read his work or listened to him on air.”
