How Self-Ordering Kiosks Help Restaurants Improve Efficiency and Customer Experience

In today’s fast-paced restaurant industry, customers expect quicker service, shorter waiting times, and a more convenient ordering experience. Traditional cashier-based ordering systems often struggle during peak hours, leading to long queues, order mistakes, and increased labor pressure.

To solve these challenges, more restaurants are adopting customized self-ordering kiosks. Recently, VETO Display provided a complete touchscreen self-ordering kiosk solution for a fast-food restaurant chain, helping the client improve operational efficiency and create a smarter dining environment.

Project Background

The customer operates several fast-food restaurants located in busy shopping malls. During lunch and dinner rush hours, customers frequently had to wait in long lines to place orders. The restaurant also faced rising labor costs and occasional order inaccuracies caused by manual operations.

The client wanted a modern self-service solution that could:

• Reduce customer waiting times
• Improve order accuracy
• Support multiple payment methods
• Allow easy menu updates
• Create a more modern restaurant image

After comparing multiple suppliers, the customer chose VETO Display to develop a customized self-ordering kiosk solution.

Customized Self-Ordering Kiosk Solution

Based on the restaurant’s requirements, VETO designed a floor-standing touchscreen ordering kiosk with the following features:

21.5-Inch Full HD Touchscreen

The kiosk uses a commercial-grade Full HD display with a capacitive multi-touch screen, providing a smooth and responsive user experience.

Built-In Thermal Printer

Customers can instantly print order receipts after payment, improving order management efficiency.

QR Code & NFC Payment Support

The system supports QR code payments, NFC payments, credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, giving customers flexible payment options.

Android-Based Ordering System

The Android operating system allows stable performance and easy integration with restaurant POS systems.

Remote CMS Management

Restaurant managers can remotely update menus, prices, promotional banners, and advertisements through a cloud-based CMS platform.

Customized Branding Design

The kiosk appearance was customized according to the restaurant’s brand colors and logo, helping create a consistent visual identity.

Installation and Deployment

The kiosks were installed near the restaurant entrance and ordering area. Customers can now browse the menu, customize meals, complete payments, and receive receipts independently without waiting for cashier assistance.

The deployment process was simple and efficient. After connecting the kiosks to the restaurant network and POS system, the entire solution was operational within a short time.

Key Benefits After Deployment

Reduced Waiting Times

One of the biggest improvements was the reduction in customer queue times. During peak dining hours, customers could place orders simultaneously using multiple kiosks, significantly improving traffic flow inside the restaurant.

Improved Order Accuracy

Because customers enter their own selections directly on the touchscreen, communication mistakes between staff and customers were greatly reduced.

Lower Labor Costs

The self-ordering kiosks reduced pressure on front-desk staff, allowing employees to focus more on food preparation and customer service.

Increased Average Order Value

Digital menu recommendations and promotional banners displayed on the kiosk helped encourage customers to add drinks, desserts, and combo meals to their orders.

Better Customer Experience

Customers appreciated the faster ordering process, modern interface, and flexible payment options. The multilingual interface also improved accessibility for international visitors.
