How to Maximize In-Store Sales with Checkmate’s Kiosks

Article Outline

This is some text inside of a div block.

Walk into any major restaurant chain today and you'll likely spot an array of digital screens where cashiers once stood. Kiosks aren't just a pandemic-era trend – they're reshaping how customers interact with restaurants. With usage jumping 43% in just two years and installations projected to reach 700,000 by 2028, it's clear that consumers have embraced this technology. For many restaurant brands, existing kiosk solutions fall short of expectations, offering limited customization and control while constraining their ability to create truly branded experiences.

As labor costs continue to rise and customers demand faster, more convenient ordering options, restaurant executives face mounting pressure to implement effective self-service solutions. To truly capitalize on this opportunity, brands need a kiosk platform that goes beyond basic functionality to deliver a seamless, branded experience that drives real business results.
