Square has unveiled the Square Kiosk, a fully integrated software, hardware and payments solution, designed to help cut waiting times for food to go, make service faster and free up staff.
Aimed at busy food-to-go outlets, this new self-service ordering system offers a complete solution for just £1 a day.
The Square Kiosk hardware is iPad-based for intuitive ordering and payment. It costs £99 plus VAT with the iPad and Bosstab floor stand sold separately. The Square Kiosk software costs £35 per month, per device (plus standard in-person transaction fees). However there is a free trial offer available until the end of the year. For subscriptions activated after this promotional period, a 30-day free trial will be available, following which Square Kiosk software will cost £35 per month for each active device. You can cancel your subscription at any time.
For the retailer Square Kiosk offers an extra pair of hands – with orders taken care of, stores can staff up other areas of their business.
For the customer, Square Kiosk has been designed as a simple experience that lets them bypass queues and easily customise their orders. They can select exactly what they want, with customisation options being sent directly to the kitchen, and choose upgrades and add-ons to bolster their orders. Payment is via Kiosk’s embedded contactless and chip payment technology. Customers will also benefit from the integrated Square Loyalty programme, rewarding them with loyalty points to encourage return visits.
