Self-order kiosk
A customer-facing touchscreen where diners place orders themselves — common in QSR, food courts and bakery chains. A well-integrated kiosk writes orders straight into the same POS and KDS as the cashier, so kitchen routing, payments and reporting are unified.
Self-order kiosk in day-to-day operations
Operators meet self-order kiosk at three moments: when a system is first configured, when a second outlet opens, and when margin is reviewed. At each point the practical question is not the definition but who owns it, where the data lives, and how quickly a discrepancy surfaces.
If self-order kiosk lives only in a spreadsheet or in a manager's head, it drifts. When it sits in the operating system alongside tickets, recipes, payments and delivery commission, a discrepancy shows up the next morning instead of at month end — and that gap is where the money is.
LOOP handles self-order kiosk inside the same POS, KDS and inventory platform, running on devices you already own rather than dedicated hardware. Browse the full F&B glossary or see LOOP pricing.
What is Self-order kiosk used for in F&B operations?

How does LOOP support Self-order kiosk?
LOOP supports self-order kiosk natively in its POS + KDS + inventory platform for Vietnamese F&B chains — no plugin or third-party integration required. It's one reason multi-outlet operators pick LOOP as their primary operations system.
