That is the goal for GreenSTOP, the world’s first self-service four user kiosk that allows licensed cannabis providers to serve more customers in less time and customers to seamlessly pick up. The company’s business model is to license their “Smart Dispensary” platform to dispensaries and charge them a fee to use the platform.

QSR Ordering Kiosks And Out-Of-Stock Shoes

QSR Ordering Kiosks Evolved From A 1980s Solution For Out-Of-Stock Shoes
“We kicked the idea around, and it got some interest,” Lappe told kioskindustry.org. “After the session, the Dean suggested I apply for a grant to see if we could make it happen.”
With just $2,500 in seed money for the project, Lappe went to work on an interface and an algorithm to power what would arguably become one of the first self-service kiosks. The device would come to have a plasma touchscreen, which was important since many people didn’t know how to use a computer at the time.
“I wanted to make it as simple as possible for people who had never used a computer before,” Lappe added. “I didn’t want it to look or feel like a computer.”
The kiosk, which was dubbed the PLATO Hotline, appeared in the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign’s student center only a few weeks before Lappe graduated. And it was a resounding success.
Kiosk Meets Retail
A few years after the introduction of Lappe’s kiosk, the Florsheim Shoe Company decided to bring self-service kiosks into its retail stores. Through the kiosks, customers could also view different styles on a video screen, while the machine would literally talk to customers and sell them on the features of different shoes.

Coca-Cola Digital Marketplace Launching for North America
Coca-Cola’s Marketplace Connects Customers to Leading Technologies for Every Aspect of Business to Increase Customer Revenue
ATLANTA, June 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Coca-Cola North America is launching a digital marketplace this fall that connects its foodservice customers to pre-vetted, industry-best restaurant technologies with competitive pricing. The marketplace of solutions for front of house, back of house and outside of house is powered by Omnivore, a universal point-of-sale connectivity platform, that offers seamless integration into restaurants’ point-of-sale (POS) systems. The marketplace is the result of a year-long collaboration between Coca-Cola and Omnivore and one output of Coca-Cola’s investment in Omnivore, announced in late 2018.
Today, restaurant consumers’ expectations and use of digital technology are evolving at a record pace, creating growth opportunities for restaurants. While third-party technology companies are innovating to provide game-changing solutions for the restaurant industry, it is challenging and costly for restaurant operators to research, test, integrate and deploy the right technologies to capitalize on this growth opportunity.
Coca-Cola’s digital marketplace addresses these concerns. Experts at Coca-Cola and Omnivore have partnered to vet today’s leading foodservice technologies, taking the guesswork out of finding the best-in-class digital solutions for restaurant operators. Coca-Cola’s strategic partnership with Omnivore allows for easy and affordable integration between any of the technologies in the marketplace and a restaurants’ POS system. This seamless connection capability reduces the time, money and resources restaurants currently expend on technology integration.
The curated marketplace will include restaurant technologies to improve consumer engagement and optimize all aspects of restaurant operations, including:
- front-of-house technologies (tableside ordering and payment, guest engagement, kiosk, digital menus);
- back-of-house technologies (inventory, labor, analytics); and
- outside-of-house technologies (online ordering, third-party delivery, loyalty and more).
“For 133 years, Coca-Cola has been focused on adding value beyond the beverage for our customers,” said Billy Koehler, Director of Digital & Payment Platforms for National Foodservice & On-Premise Marketing at Coca-Cola North America. “Decades ago, we provided customers with value-adds like Coca-Cola-branded cash registers and static Coca-Cola signage. In the 21st century, combining our expertise in foodservice and digital to offer tangible technology solutions provides the most value for our restaurant partners who always welcome an edge to increase their revenue. The marketplace is just one example of the digital solutions we’ll be rolling out for customers in the months to come.”
Coca-Cola and Omnivore are collaborating with today’s leading technology providers for inclusion in the marketplace, which is set to launch in September 2019. Access to the marketplace and technology integration through Omnivore is free for Coca-Cola customers. Cost to a restaurant for technologies in the marketplace will vary by technology, but more competitive rates will be available for Coca-Cola customers.
Coca-Cola has been focused on providing digital solutions for their customers the last few years. After forging a partnership in 2018, this spring Coca-Cola and Omnivore launched the Menu Management Solution (MMS) app, a single source of truth software that allows restaurants to own their digital menu content and control their brand across any digital platform.
“Our year-long collaboration with Coca-Cola and select restaurant operators has helped us validate and develop additional digital solutions that contribute to profitable growth for restaurants,” said Shane Wheatland, Chief Marketing Officer at Omnivore. “These solutions align well to consumer needs as well as common barriers experienced by restaurant operators as they digitize and build a competitive advantage for their brand. We look forward to the launch of Coca-Cola’s marketplace, and continuing to foster agile and affordable access to meaningful third-party solutions.”
Coca-Cola’s strategic partnership with Omnivore and the launch of the digital marketplace are important milestones in Coca-Cola’s long-term vision of building a digital ecosystem that connects Coca-Cola, foodservice operators and consumers. This ecosystem, which has been in planning and development over the last two years, will be fueled by proprietary technologies, analytics and tools available only for Coca-Cola customers aimed at optimizing customer business operations and driving their profit growth.

UPS Kiosk & Digital Signage – Worlds Smallest UPS: Xtreme Power J60
Compact UPS for Kiosks, POS, Digital Signage and Thin Clients
Xtreme Power Conversion is one of our members and has a new iteration of the J60 which is a very small UPS with very good specifications. The UPS is one of those devices that should always be part of your kiosk or digital signage. If nothing else to prevent hacking and provide security. The first “lets break in” tactic for any terminal is to disconnect power and then try and gain control during bootup.
Depending on the power grid and the weather, brownouts are very common. Quite often you can see kiosks or digital signs that have rebooted and are waiting to be initialized. Sending technician is automatic $200 and 24 hours.
We’ll have one of these at the show in Chicago so stop by and see it.
In Brief
- That’s an iPhone resting on top of it in the picture
- Retail price $419
- 10 year lithium battery life compared to 2-5 years lead-acid battery
- 3.4lbs and 1.25 inches
- 2000 discharges compared to 200 lead acid
- Auto restart
- Works in hot temperatures and does not affect battery life
- Keeps devices up during power blips so devices don’t restart
- Battery backup, power protection, and surge protection
- 5 year warranty
Features — One of the biggest features with the J60 is the unit will automatically restart when battery is depleted during a power outage. Many UPSs don’t have this feature and it becomes costly for downtime and time consuming for technical support to get these units powered back up after a power outage. Keeping devices up like ATM’s, Casino Kiosk’s, Credit card processors, POS, and self-checkout scanners during a power outage is crucial to every business financially. If you have a power outage you want to make sure you have 4-5 minutes of battery backup so you can do a safe shutdown of devices and finish a secure transaction with your customers.

You’re Going To Use That Self-Checkout Machine Whether You Like It Or Not
Self-Checkout Machine – You are Going to Use It
We may not realize it, but retailers are conditioning us to be our own cashiers.
Source: www.huffingtonpost.com
After two decades of freeze-ups and unfamiliar items in the bagging area, self-checkout may be in the midst of an expansion. RBR, a research firm focused on banking and retail automation, says that self-checkout terminals recently had a “breakout year,” with global sales increasing by 67 percent in 2016; a surge in U.S. big-box stores purchases was a driving factor. NCR Corporation, the leading manufacturer of self-checkout machines, says it’s had record growth over the past two years.
The way retailers and industry watchers tell it, self-checkout is growing because customers want it to grow. Tech-savvy millennials would rather deal with a machine than make small talk, and even old-school shoppers might like to avoid a long cashier line if they’ve only got a couple items.

Shake Shack Not Going Cashless After All
Half the customers didn’t know how to order on the iPad, a Google commenter wrote
Source: www.eater.com
Here is some insight on cash in restaurants. Shake Shack backed off of it but still is working towards cashless. The CEO reasons are:
Safety: We’ve mitigated the very real security risks associated with having large quantities of cash on-site, so we can become a safer place for our team and our guests.
Efficiency: We’ve streamlined our operations, eliminating cash-counting, and facilitating easier shift transitions (team members can jump on the register without the time-consuming security steps involved in cash-tray change-outs.)
Speed: Without handling cash and making change, we can serve more guests in far less time, meaning you spend less time waiting in line to place your order and pay.

Meridian Kiosks Expansion – Continues to Grow with Facility Expansion
Meridian Kiosks Expansion – Continues to Grow with Facility Expansion
Aberdeen, N.C. – June 28, 2018 – Meridian, an industry leading kiosk manufacturer and software developer, is expanding their fabrication and assembly facilities. “This is an exciting time for Meridian and for our customers,” said Senior Project Manager, Amanda Jordan. “The additional manufacturing lines allow for production planning flexibility leading to better turnaround times for customer orders.”
As a fully integrated manufacturer, Meridian designs, engineers, fabricates, assembles, deploys and supports self-service solutions from their 13-acre headquarters in North Carolina. The 15,000 square foot expansion will provide added space for the assembly and fabrication teams, three additional shipping docks and secure storage lockers. Meridian saw the need to expand in order to achieve economies of scale. “As production output increases, costs per unit decrease, which allows better material’s cost management,” said Jordan.
Meridian considered adding a building or renovating the oldest part of their facility, dating back to the early 1900’s. “We decided to renovate the existing space as it would connect to our sales and marketing team’s offices,” said Meridian Founder and CEO, Chris Gilder. The renovation adds a 15,000 square foot assembly space and provides fabrication with an additional 10,000 square feet to accommodate its expansion.
“As Meridian continues to grow so do our space demands, we needed more room for both fabrication and assembly,” said Gilder. “To accompany the physical expansion, we have also begun a migration to SAP to allow for significant scalability, visibility and control improvements to our manufacturing, sales and accounting system. This also allows us to directly link to many of our larger clients’ systems for seamless ordering and project management processes.”
Meridian’s expansion is scheduled to be completed this summer. To learn more about Meridian’s in-house manufacturing, visit meridiankiosks.com.

Large Scale Deployment Considerations
If you are considering implementing kiosk or digital signage options in your business, the number of details and logistics to navigate and manage can be overwhelming.

We pride ourselves on our consultative approach, and the experience we bring to the table, having successfully deployed thousands of kiosks at a time to notable brands around the country. ZIVELO is more than a kiosk manufacturer. With software, hardware, and services options, we’re truly a one-stop-kiosk shop.
WHAT GOES INTO A LARGE-SCALE KIOSK DEPLOYMENT?
- Account Management: ZIVELO’s Account Managers are subject matter experts on the product as a whole including product support, production, and processes necessary to institute a successful kiosk deployment.
- Software: Compelling user experiences are driven by software working in harmony with hardware
- Hardware: Choosing the right hardware to go inside and run your kiosk is extremely important.
- Engineering: Each product release from Engineering is thoughtfully designed, boasting key modular features to allow for ease of serviceability and component upgradability for years to come.
- Manufacturing: While in manufacturing phase, the product truly comes to life through both initial production level prototypes as well as final production or large-scale product deployment.

We focus on creating long-term client relationships, so you can feel confident that if you have questions about our kiosks or experience a problem with your order, we’ll do everything we can to help.
I thought something looked familar as I looked at the TV. Outside in my garage in Colorado watching Netflix and Luke Cage I saw what looked like a kiosk from Kiosk Group.
“For Pete’s Sake” is episode 22 (#9 in season 2) and is the big showdown in Rand Corporation building. A quick synopsis — Knight gets Cage, Lucas, Dillard, and Johnson to an unfinished building belonging to Rand Enterprises, where Dillard agrees to testify against Bushmaster in exchange for immunity. Knight and Cage are against this, but agree that they can only fight one at a time.
In any case the use the iPadkiosks unit as their access point.
Pretty cool placement!

FNB has launched a new kiosk that allows you to open an account with only your thumbprints as verification.

Taco Bell Self Order Kiosks Get Inspiration From The Airlines
Taco Bell is trying to convince customers to order via kiosks instead of cashiers at restaurants across the US — and it’s drawing inspiration from an unlikely source
From Business Insider Aug 3, 2018
Hollis Johnson
- Taco Bell is set to install self-ordering kiosks at all locations across the United States by the end of 2019.
- The fast-food chain turned to the airline industry to better understand how customers reacted when confronted with machines instead of human employees.
- Taco Bell ‘s biggest takeaway was that airlines made a major mistake by not having employees around to help customers understand how to use kiosks — a misstep the chain plans to avoid.

Automotive Kiosks – Self-Service Technology in the Kiosk Car Industry
Automotive Kiosks – Car Kiosk
August 7, 2018
I was maybe 15 or 16 when I went with my dad to buy the next family car.
It was the late 90s, so the purchasing experience was done in that traditional way of which we’ve grown nostalgic. I remember a collection of thick, glossy pamphlets from each car brand accumulating on our kitchen table, and I’d flip through pages of different models, reading about the various features each offered. When my father had finally narrowed down his “Favorites” list, we set aside a Saturday to visit the dealerships.
Each appointment involved poking around the car, listening to the sales person’s pitch, and taking a test drive. When a winner was finally chosen, we sat down to do that usual song and dance to secure the best price.
Fast forward to 2018. Think of the most recent time you bought a car. Did you refer to those glossy brochures or did you go straight to the Internet to visit the brand’s homepage and find your nearby dealer location?
Did you read reviews, view photos, and look up the fairest pricing?
The car buying method has changed immensely, with digital sales tools creating an omnichannel experience that helps prospective clients come to a dealership armed with more insight than what was typically found in the catalogs.
