## How it works

1. **Site visit & use case:** We look at where the kiosk will live, who will use it, what it needs to sell or collect and how it connects to your systems.
2. **Hardware & software plan:** Countertop, wall-mount or freestanding; indoor or outdoor; card reader, printer and scanner choices, with a fixed quote.
3. **Build & pilot:** We build the software, assemble and test the hardware, and run a pilot with real customers.
4. **Install & support:** Installation, staff training, remote monitoring and updates so the kiosk keeps working.

## Digital Menu Boards for Restaurants, Bars & Cafés FAQs

### Can I update the menu boards myself?

Yes. Change prices, add specials or mark items sold out from your phone, and every screen updates in seconds.

### How much does a self-service kiosk cost?

A tablet-based countertop kiosk with custom software often starts around $1,750. Freestanding or outdoor kiosks with custom enclosures, printers and climate protection typically run $4,000–$10,000+ per unit, plus software. We quote every project individually.

### Can a kiosk work if the internet goes down?

We design for it. Depending on the use case, kiosks can queue orders offline, use cellular backup or show a clear fallback message so customers are never stuck.
