McDonald’s Kiosks: From clunky prototypes to sleek ordering hubs, McDonald’s kiosks have come a long way. Today, they’re revolutionizing the fast-food giant’s operations, offering convenience, customization, and a touch of tech-infused fun.

Self-Service Superstars:

Gone are the days of yelling your order over a crowded counter. McDonald’s kiosks boast user-friendly touchscreens where you can browse menus at your own pace, customize meals down to the last pickle, and place orders with just a few taps. No more waiting in line, just tap and go!

Foodie Powerhouses:

McDonald’s kiosks aren’t just order-takers; they’re foodie powerhouses. Imagine high-resolution pictures showcasing mouthwatering burgers and fries, interactive displays letting you virtually build your own McFlurry, or nutritional filters helping you find the perfect salad option. Kiosks make food exploration a visual and engaging experience.

Data-Driven Decisions:

McDonald’s kiosks are treasure troves of data, collecting valuable insights into customer preferences. By tracking popular menu items, order frequency, and even customization choices, restaurants can tailor their offerings, optimize portion sizes, and personalize promotions. This data-driven approach allows them to stay ahead of the curve and keep customers coming back for more.

The Future of Flavor:

The future of McDonald’s dining is bright, and kiosks are a key ingredient. Imagine kiosks recommending menu items based on your past orders, offering loyalty rewards programs, or even suggesting drink pairings with your meal. The possibilities are endless, creating a personalized and dynamic dining experience.

So, the next time you see a McDonald’s kiosk, don’t just see an ordering machine. See a portal to a future of convenience, customization, and flavor exploration. The future of McDonald’s is here, and it’s checking itself out, one tap at a time.

In conclusion, McDonald’s kiosks are no longer just futuristic gadgets; they’re becoming an essential part of the fast-food experience. With their focus on convenience, customization, and data-driven insights, they’re poised to revolutionize the way we order, eat, and enjoy our McDonald’s favorites.

Good review of self-order kiosks at NRA 2018.

 

Excerpt:  

What a difference a year makes! Last year’s National Restaurant Show featured 12 self-serve kiosks. This year, the number on display at Chicago’s McCormick Place nearly tripled as kiosk manufacturers scrambled to meet the restaurant industry’s demand to improve customer service with new technology.

 

As McDonald’s continues its nationwide rollout of self-order kiosks, thousands of QSRs and fast casual restaurants don’t want to get left behind and are shopping the market. 

 

Kiosk hardware and software manufacturers continue to fine tune their self-order kiosks, while POS system manufacturers introduce kiosk modules that integrate with mobile ordering, kitchen display systems and back-office management software.

 

Many of the offerings on display support customer conveniences beyond self-order and pay, such as order pickup, nutrition information, digital messaging and customer loyalty programs. 

Following are highlights from the trade show floor listed in alphabetical order:
