> Turn any iPad or Android tablet into a self-service kiosk. The biggest measurable AOV lift in QSR - upsells on every order, no proprietary hardware.

Canonical: https://storekit.com/products/kiosks

**A kiosk on the tablet you own** A tablet in a stand, running your menu. No hardware to lease, no install window. The upsell gets asked on every single order.

- **Hardware you already own** - It is a tablet in a stand - iPad or Android. Buy the stand you like, mount the tablet you have, and the kiosk software does the rest - no leased terminals, no vendor lock on the metal.
- **The upsell that never forgets** - Kiosks out-sell counters because the prompt runs every time. Sides, dips, meal upgrades - asked politely, on every single order, at the moment the basket is open.
- **Peak moves faster** - Every kiosk is a till that never queues for a colleague. Orders drop to the kitchen or your EPOS exactly like every other channel.
- **One brand across every screen** - The kiosk runs the same storefront design as your web ordering and app - same type, same photography, same voice.

## How it works

1. **Use the tablet you have** - iPad or Android, it becomes a kiosk. No proprietary hardware, no lease.
2. **Load your menu** - The same menu as every other channel, on your brand.
3. **Guests order on the screen** - They tap, pay and wait for a number. Queues move, baskets grow, staff cook instead of cashiering.

## What it does

### Hardware you already own

Kiosk projects usually arrive as a hardware quote: proprietary terminals, an install date, a lease running years. Storekit turns a tablet you can buy anywhere - or already own - into a self-service kiosk in minutes. If a screen breaks on a Saturday you replace it from a high-street shop rather than raising a ticket and waiting until Thursday.

### One brand across every screen

Most kiosk software makes your brand a logo in the corner of somebody else's interface. Storekit runs your own storefront on the screen - same design, same photography, same menu structure a guest sees on their phone at home. A guest who orders on the kiosk at lunch recognises the app they order delivery from that evening.

### The upsell that never forgets

The best member of counter staff asks about the side, the upgrade and the drink perhaps half the time - at peak, less. A kiosk asks every single guest, in the same words, without ever being rushed or having a bad shift. That consistency is why kiosks carry the largest measurable effect on average order value in quick service, and it compounds across every cover you take.

### Peak moves faster

At peak the constraint is rarely the kitchen - it is the number of people who can take an order at once. Two kiosks triple the ordering capacity of a counter without another wage, so the queue moves, the room turns over, and the people you employ are cooking rather than repeating the menu.

### One menu, everywhere

The operational cost of adding a channel is usually maintaining another menu. Kiosks run off the same menu, stock and pricing as delivery, QR and takeaway, so an 86'd item disappears everywhere at once rather than being sold on a screen nobody remembered to update.

### Payments and tickets, handled

A kiosk that takes an order but not a payment just moves the queue somewhere else. Storekit takes payment at the screen and routes the ticket to the KDS or your EPOS, so the guest orders, pays and waits for a number rather than joining a second queue at the till.

## The counter is the bottleneck, not the kitchen.

Every operator knows the shape of a lunch rush: a queue at the till, a kitchen waiting on tickets, covers walking out because the line looked long.

More ordering points is the cheapest fix there is.

And because a kiosk asks every guest about the side, the covers you gain are worth more than the ones you were taking by hand.

## Questions

### What hardware do I need?

A tablet and a stand - iPad or Android. No proprietary terminals, no leases, no install window - if a screen fails you can replace it the same day.

### Is it a separate menu to maintain?

No. Kiosks run off the same menu, pricing and stock as every other channel, so a change lands everywhere at once.

### Can guests pay at the kiosk?

Yes - card and contactless at the screen, with the ticket routed straight to the kitchen or your EPOS.

### Does it look like my brand?

It runs your storefront: your design, your photography, the same menu a guest sees on their phone.

### Will it replace my counter staff?

It removes the queue at the till so they can work the pass and look after the room. Most operators redeploy rather than reduce.
