POS to Kiosk

Meg14 — Sun, 19 Feb 2023 03:51:03 GMT

Is there a ‘mode’ on the POS device that we could turn over to kiosk? I notice a few major chains have this feature. One example would be Crumbl.

a Crumbl employee can take on order on the POS or the computer can be flipped around for customer facing ordering, kiosk style.

You will need kiosk subscription to do that. Once you subscribe, you will have a "kiosk" button on your pos home memu.

And no additional equipment is needed?

Technically you don’t need one. It’s just module added to your software. In my case, I can turn any device into a kiosk. Still, I would recommend you consult a Toast representative for more detail because toast offer different versions and builds of software to its users. And keep it in mind that kiosk does not work with discounts and promo codes and have couple minor issues in my opinion.

You shouldn't have the Kiosk option available if you don't use Kiosk; this option may disappear for you later, but If you have any further questions about Kiosk, feel free to DM me, but here is some more info below!

Well Rob, I do have kiosk subscription and I pay the monthly kiosk subscription fee. I even bought a Kiosk from Toast. I was stating a fact that the "kiosk button""will appear on the toast app menu no matter which device you are on, and therefore you can turn "any device" into a kiosk if you click on that button. But will it work though? The answer is no. The kiosk module will only work with compatible devices. But I do agree with you! The kiosk option should not show up on devices that aren't supposed to have.

But the POS is not a compatible device with the kiosk subscription?

It is compatible; Kiosk is also a "mode" you can put the device in
