Slef Order Kiosks

Self Order Kiosk such as POS Kiosk and Restaurant Kiosk

2024 Update Self-Order kiosks  — the use of self order kiosks has jumped significantly.  Robotic restaurants have jumped — Key players in this emerging market include Appetronix Inc, Euphotic Labs, Home Tech Innovation Inc, Hyper Food Robotics Ltd, Kitchen Robotics, Miso Robotics, Moley Robotics, Nala Robotics Inc, Robo Arete Co Ltd, and Thermomix. These companies are at the forefront, developing and deploying advanced robotic solutions that are transforming the way food is prepared, cooked, and served in professional and domestic kitchens.

We’ve included the GuideBot by LG Business. Autonomous Guiding Service in Virtually any Facility. The CLOi GuideBot promptly informs visitors with facility information upon request and conveniently escorts visitors to their desired location.

General retail is approximately $7K for just the robot. Software can be extra monthly support.

From our Market Research June 2024

Report on restaurant market research and kiosks worldwide by Dataos (RBR). Much better than the usual internet scrapes for the Indian datamarts like Research & Markets.  They actually contacted us and we provided input on McDonald’s and Burger King.  Wendy’s too. Other research conpanies do not canvas people so kudos to Datos/RBR

It’s pretty clear though the bias is “Not the US” as the central theme. Certainly Acrelec has McDonalds but the franchise option is not always executed.  We have never seen kiosks in Burger King or KFC here in the US. Pretty much all drive thru.

  • As far as Acrelec goes it is important to note they are software as much as hardware.  Not common knowledge but we know they have over 30K software licenses in play and they are close to announcing more.

McDonald’s is actually more ROW (40K restaurants) than US (14000 restaurants).  And worth noting 700 of those in US are owned by McDonalds. The others are franchisees.  Other McDonalds players which seems to be not noted would be the Verifone/Zivelo original along with Evoke in UK.
