- Capacitive or Infrared Touch
- Configurable System and Peripherals
What Is a Restaurant Self Service Kiosk?
A restaurant self service kiosk is an interactive hardware terminal where customers can independently browse digital menus, select items, modify their choices, and confirm orders via a touchscreen interface. Depending on the software and project configuration, users can also submit their orders or complete payments directly at the terminal.
When integrated properly, these orders can be transmitted directly to the restaurant's Point of Sale (POS) or Kitchen Display System (KDS). The RES-F provides the commercial-grade display, touch interface, computing power, and peripheral integration hardware. It is important to note that menu functionality, payment processing, and operational workflows depend entirely on compatible third-party software and project integration, which can support and may help streamline the ordering process depending on the restaurant workflow.

Which Restaurant Kiosk Format Fits Your Space?
Understanding the differences between installation formats helps ensure the hardware matches your restaurant layout. The RES-F is confirmed as a floor-standing model.
| Format | RES-F Floor-Standing Kiosk | Wall-Mounted Kiosk | Countertop Kiosk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Installation | Freestanding on the floor. | Mounted to a structural wall (Subject to project confirmation for RES-F). | Placed on existing counters. |
| Space Requirement | Requires dedicated floor space in lobbies or ordering zones. | Zero floor footprint, utilizes empty wall space. | Consumes valuable counter space near registers. |
| Customer Interaction | Prominent, standalone destination for ordering. | Integrated into the environment flow. | Close proximity to staff and traditional POS. |
| Relocation Flexibility | Can be moved if power and network connections allow. | Fixed installation; requires structural work to move. | Highly portable across counters. |
| Peripheral Space | Large enclosure allows robust internal integration. | Limited depth may restrict large peripheral integration. | Often relies on external/separate peripherals. |

Hardware, Software, POS and Payment Integration
Understanding the boundaries between the kiosk hardware and the systems required to complete a transaction.
Kiosk Hardware
The RES-F provides the commercial display, touch interface, computing system, physical structure, and the platform for peripheral integration. It is the foundation that runs your chosen applications.
Ordering Software
Menu layouts, item modifiers, order logic, membership functions, promotions, and backend management depend entirely on the compatible third-party software selected by the customer.
POS and Kitchen Systems
Order transmission, POS synchronization, and KDS connection require compatible software interfaces and dedicated project integration to function properly.
Payment Processing
Card readers, QR payments, transaction processing, and local compliance are determined by the selected payment service provider and the specific peripherals integrated for the target market.
Content and Connectivity
The RES-F platform supports standard confirmed interfaces including HDMI, VGA, DVI, and USB, depending on the chosen system configuration.
Features often associated with digital displays such as Anti-Theft Lock, Touch, Split Screen, Miracast, Remote Control, or Customized Design are not universally standard. Availability depends on the selected system and final project configuration.
Designed for Indoor Restaurant Environments
The RES-F is strictly positioned as an indoor device. While a 1000 nits high-brightness option is available for well-lit indoor areas, this does not imply outdoor protection.
- Projects located near entrances, windows, or high-light areas require advance confirmation of lighting, temperature, and installation conditions.
- Floor load-bearing capacity, power supply, network routing, operating space, and maintenance clearance must be confirmed prior to installation.
