Order Kiosk News

Complete case study on the positive impact that customer ordering kiosks provide to a relatively small retail shop. Most of us like to think in terms of 14,000 kiosks at Mcdonaldโ€™s and relegate small businesses to the footnotes.ย  Itโ€™s a challenge aggregating literally tens of thousands of SMBs and dealing with an overall number literally 3X the number of Mcdonaldโ€™s.ย  The fact is this is a small bubble tea shop in Kansas City and they have been killing it with 100-200+ orders a day through their kiosks.ย  A great example of how kiosks can help a business save costs as well as how readily customers adopt the technology these days.ย  More orders and faster orders with fewer people. One of the main points the restaurant makes is shortening the decision process customers go thru when ordering (and not tying up employees to wait on them while they do).

These units serve a dual purpose. On the one hand they allow customers to enter their orders. Secondly they provide digital signage and digital messaging in-store.

Cost Effective?ย 

Clover calculations are 16 weeks to be profitable. With affordable kiosk hardware and a low monthly cost of only $69 per kiosk.
