From Forbes article Self-Order Kiosks Are Finally Having A Moment In The Fast Food Space July 30, 2019 — Also McDonalds Kiosk News
Tillster Kiosk Market – McDonalds Kiosks in Forbes
Excerpt:
In 2010, I wrote an article titled “Quick-service restaurant kiosks: What’s taking so long?”
The gist was that although major players like Subway, McDonald’s, Burger King and Arby’s started experimenting with kiosks in 2006, we had yet to see mass adoption in the restaurant space, despite kiosks’ rapid deployments in airports, grocery stores and casinos.
In technology terms, it has since been a lifetime. However, kiosks finally seem to be having their moment in the quick-service space.
Self-Order Kiosk Research
New research from Tillster shows that 25% of restaurant customers have used a self-ordering kiosk at a restaurant within the past three months—up 7% year-over-year. Further, more than 65% of customers said they would visit a restaurant more often if self-service kiosks were offered, and 30% of customers prefer to order from a kiosk versus a cashier if the lines were of equal length.
