Before you begin
- Pair each kiosk on the Devices tab, like a terminal. See "Pair a new terminal".
What customers see
Customers can switch the kiosk between English and Español with Language.
- The start screen shows your film or your logo, and Start my order.
- If you offer more than one choice, they're asked Where will you eat?: Dine in or To go.
- They browse the menu by section and add items with Add to order.
- They check the order under Your order. If you turned on suggestions, they see Add something else? before paying.
- They give a name for the order and a phone number or email.
- If your shop takes tips, they may be asked Add a tip?.
- They pay on the card reader, or at the counter when that's offered.
- The last screen shows Your order number, or Your order is in.
What the kiosk leaves off the menu
The kiosk sells the same items as your terminals, except:
- Gift cards
- Services
- Items sold by weight
- Age-restricted items
Turn an item off for a while
Mark it sold out. The kiosk and the terminals both stop selling it, and the kiosk shows it as Sold out.
- Go to Store setup > Items and open the item.
- On the Sold out card, click Sold out today or Until put back.
- Click Back on sale to sell it again.
- Press and hold the item.
- Choose Sold out for today or Sold out until I put it back.
The kiosk's own settings
Go to Store setup > Kiosk.
- Screen: Portrait (upright) or Landscape (sideways) for the location, and for each kiosk under Each kiosk.
- Start-screen film: Upload a film, Replace film or Remove. Use an MP4 of about 20 seconds; it plays without sound.
- Logo: the same logo as your receipts. Change it on the Receipt tab.
- Suggestions before checkout: switch on Suggest items before checkout, then tick up to 12 items to suggest.
- Customer display: a short film that loops without sound on the screen facing the customer at a counter terminal, such as the second screen on a T3, until a sale starts. It plays the kiosk's start-screen film unless you click Upload a customer display film to use a different one. With no film, or if the film can't play, the screen shows your logo.
"Today" sold-out items come back by themselves when the business day ends. Sold-out flags are part of inventory, on Surge Plus and Surge Premium.
Kiosks pick up changes within a couple of minutes. A new kiosk is listed under Each kiosk within a minute of being switched on. Only an Admin can change kiosk settings.
