Order-at-table apps have their place, but many pubs and bars still see a crush at the bar during peak service. A self-ordering kiosk sits between the two – a fast, familiar way for customers to place and pay for an order without waiting to catch a server’s eye.
Clearing the bar bottleneck
At busy times the bar becomes the single point everyone funnels through. Add one or two self-ordering kiosks and you create extra order points instantly, so drinks and food tickets keep flowing to the kitchen and cellar without a growing queue.
Built-in upselling
A kiosk calmly offers a larger size, a side or a dessert on every order, which lifts average spend without any hard sell. It also captures the full order accurately, reducing mistakes and remakes.
What good kiosk hardware looks like
- Spill- and knock-resistant commercial build for a busy venue
- Large, responsive touchscreen that’s easy to read in low light
- Integrated contactless payment
- Windows or Android to match your ordering software
The HiStone HK568MSC and HS-series kiosks are designed for hospitality environments. Speak to B-Spoke Systems about adding self-ordering to your venue.
