Self-Ordering Kiosks for Restaurants & Fast Food
Let customers order and pay at a touchscreen terminal — faster lines, higher average tickets.
APPY Kiosk turns any touchscreen into a self-ordering station. Guests browse your visual menu, customize their meal, and pay by card — all without waiting in line. Smart upsell prompts lift the average ticket without adding a step for your staff, and you can measure the lift on your own orders in APPY Analytics.

What is a self-ordering kiosk?
A self-ordering kiosk is a touchscreen terminal where the guest builds their own order and pays, without queueing at the till. The order goes straight into the POS and onto the kitchen screens, and the receipt or order number prints on the spot.
- Touchscreen with an illustrated menu, in several languages
- Card payment at the terminal, with no cashier
- Upsell and portion-size suggestions
- Orders land directly in the POS and on the KDS
- Prints a receipt or an order number
- The same menu and prices as every other channel
A kiosk does not replace the cash register: the fiscal receipt still comes from the certified device, through the same integration the POS uses.
How much does a restaurant kiosk cost?
A self-ordering kiosk terminal generally costs between €1,600 and €6,800, excluding VAT. The difference comes from screen size and payment method: card-only models are considerably cheaper than those with a note and coin acceptor. At APPY, delivery and installation in Romania are included in the price.
- Desktop 24″, card payment — €1,600
- Floor stand 24″, card payment — €2,100
- Floor stand 27″, card payment — €2,350
- Floor stand 32″, card payment — €2,790
- Floor stand 27″, card and cash — €5,400
- Floor stand 32″, card and cash — €6,800
Prices exclude VAT. The Appy Kiosk software runs on the Appy POS subscription; the bank card terminal is ordered separately from your bank and we integrate it. From order to go-live takes 20 days.
