Kiosk Case Studies

Kiosk Case Study – Retail, Financial and Fast Casual

Over the years, there have been many case studies regarding the benefits, features, and ROI of unattended self-service.  There have been what we call “Reverse” case studies—putting in menu boards at 500 drive-thru restaurants without fully factoring in the cooling requirements or the maintenance (such as cleaning filters).  McDonald’s did that, so no one is immune to that. We can learn from it.

The best case studies never get published as a rule.  Companies tend to protect confidential information which could be a competitive advantage.  It is understandable.  It usually takes a few years for the data to surface or someone is looking for funding.
