Leisure venues deal with huge peaks: the minutes before a film starts, half-time at a match, the morning rush at a visitor attraction. Self-service kiosks for leisure venues spread that demand, letting visitors collect tickets, check in or order food without queuing at a counter.
Kiosk uses across leisure
Cinemas
Ticket purchase and collection, plus food and drink ordering from the concession stand.
Leisure centres and gyms
Member check-in, class bookings and café orders.
Visitor attractions and museums
Admission tickets, gift shop and café sales. HiStone POS and self-checkout systems are used at attractions such as the Tsingtao Beer Museum in Qingdao, China. Read the Tsingtao Beer Museum case study.
Stadiums and arenas
Food and beverage ordering kiosks increase capacity at half-time, when every second counts.
Why venues invest in kiosks
- Peak capacity: serve more visitors in short windows.
- Higher spend: combo deals and add-ons suggested on screen.
- Fewer walk-aways: shorter queues mean fewer lost sales.
- Flexible staffing: extra capacity without extra staff for every event.
Kiosk hardware for busy venues
Venue kiosks must be robust, highly visible and easy to use for first-time visitors. Floor-standing models such as the HiStone HS330U and HK568MSC work well in foyers and concourses, while wall-mounted units save space in corridors. Read our guide to kiosk formats.
Frequently asked questions
Can kiosks print tickets?
Yes. Kiosks can be fitted with ticket or receipt printers and barcode scanners for collection.
Are kiosks suitable for outdoor use?
Standard indoor kiosks should be installed under cover. Outdoor use needs specially rated enclosures.
