Customer Self-Service & Table Technology
11 products listed
Introduction
This category is about letting guests order or pay without waiting for a member of staff. It covers self-order kiosks, glass touchscreen tables, tablets left on the table, and pagers that tell guests when food is ready. Some products sit on top of your till and send orders straight through. Others sell their own hardware as the main product. The aim is shorter queues, larger orders through prompts to add extras, and fewer staff tied to taking orders. Products differ mostly in who they are built for, from quick-service chains with many kiosks to table-service restaurants that want a handheld or tabletop device.
Who needs it
Quick-service restaurants with queues at the counter, venues such as food courts and stadiums, and casual dining that wants guests to pay at the table. It becomes worth the outlay when order-taking or payment slows service at peak hours. Compare the total hardware and software cost per kiosk or table.

What to look for
Kiosks, tabletops or pagers. Acrelec and Grubbrr focus on kiosks, Ziosk on tabletop tablets, ITRestaurant on glass tables, and JTECH on pagers. Choose the form that suits your service.
Own hardware required. Grubbrr and Ziosk supply their own devices, while Ordering Stack and Tillster describe kiosk software that runs on hardware from various makers.
Compatibility with your existing till. Ordering Stack lists Oracle Simphony, Micros and NCR Aloha, and Ziosk lists Aloha, Micros and POSitouch. Confirm your till before buying.
Hardware plus subscription cost. Tabesto charges per kiosk monthly plus commission on payments. ITRestaurant lists a table price from USD 2,500. Add up the full cost.
Minimum contract length. Where terms appear they can run a year, as with Jamezz. Ask about minimum terms before installing devices in your dining room.
