Self-order kiosk settings
Switch the kiosk on, link a tablet to it, and choose how it behaves.
A self-order kiosk on the tablet you already have
Volio's self-order kiosk turns any tablet into a place to order, for cafés, takeaway counters, food trucks and busy bars. Guests pick eat here or take away, choose their dishes and the options on each, then pay on their own phone or at the counter. There's no kiosk to buy.
Four screens on a tablet
How the tablet kiosk works
The kiosk is the same menu the QR code opens, laid out for a tablet on a stand. Every order it takes lands with the others.
Step 1
Eat here or take away
The first screen asks one thing, and offers the menu's languages along the bottom. A guest who reads Greek better than English taps it before anything else.
Step 2
The menu, a category at a time
Categories down the side, dishes with photos and prices, and a plus to add each one. The running total sits at the bottom with Review order.
Step 3
Options before the kitchen sees them
A dish opens with its sides, sizes and extras. What the guest picks is listed under the dish on the kitchen's ticket, so nobody shouts a change across the counter.
Step 4
Pay on the phone or at the counter
The guest checks the order, then pays on their own phone with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card, or walks to the counter and pays there.
12:05, a queue that reaches the door
One person at the till takes the order, takes the money and answers the question about the sauce. The tablet by the door takes the first two.
- 12:05
The queue splits
Three people order at the counter. Two walk to the tablet instead and start choosing.
- 12:11
The sauce question, answered
The dish shows its options and their prices. Nobody holds up the line to ask.
- 12:16
Paid on their own phone
One guest pays at the tablet with their phone. The other walks to the counter and pays there.
- 12:34
Lunch goes out in order
Kiosk orders and counter orders sit in one queue on the kitchen display, in the order they came.
Behind the tablet
The kiosk is switched on and linked from the back office. It runs in the tablet's browser.
One queue in the kitchen
A kiosk order is a ticket like any other, with the guest's choices under each dish and a timer.
The guest's language
The kiosk offers the menu's languages, translated by machine and yours to edit.
Sold out in one tap
A dish switched off in the back office leaves the kiosk and every phone at once.
No kiosk hardware
Any tablet with a browser. No hardware is sold.
When a kiosk isn't worth it
There's never a queue
If every guest sits down and orders at the table, the table's QR code does the job, and the tablet stays in the drawer.
Your guests want a word with the barista
The counter still takes orders on the POS, in cash, by card terminal or by the guest's phone.

The Pro plan, on as many tablets as you like.
Can guests pay at the kiosk?
They pay on their own phone, with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card, or at the counter.
Do kiosk orders reach the kitchen like other orders?
Yes. They land on the orders board and the kitchen display with every other order.
