How does it work?
Business Owner
Setting Up the Kiosk
- Prepare a tablet or mobile device with the Elementary POS app installed.
- Connect your payment terminal and receipt printer in the standard way.
- In the Elementary POS app, activate Kiosk Mode: Menu → Settings → Kiosk Mode
-
From this point on, the Elementary POS app will receive payment requests from the kiosk via a dedicated web address. The system will handle:
- Payment processing through the connected terminal
- Receipt printing
- EET processing
- Order creation
- The kiosk itself runs as a web page in a browser on a separate device. It works on virtually any device (Windows, Linux, Android, macOS).
- Recommendation: Set up the kiosk device so customers cannot exit the browser (system-level kiosk mode).

Selection, Order, Payment, and Pickup
- The customer selects and places their order at the kiosk.
- They pay by card directly at the terminal and receive a receipt with an order number.
- The order is automatically routed to the appropriate stations based on your business setup (e.g., kitchen, bar, storage, and more).
- The customer picks up their order at the pickup counter using their order number.
Good to Know
The kiosk doesn’t require a dedicated app. It runs in a secure browser, ensuring 100% compatibility with Android, iOS, and Windows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a kiosk terminal and how does it work?
How much does the Kiosk Mode license cost?
Do I need to integrate the kiosk with my POS system?
Do I need to buy special hardware?
No. Elementary POS works on tablets and devices you may already have—or on any standard, widely available tablet.
There’s no need for expensive proprietary kiosks. With Elementary POS, you only pay for the software, and you choose the hardware that fits your needs.
What types of businesses is a kiosk terminal best suited for?
Primarily restaurants, fast food outlets, bistros, cafés, food courts, as well as retail stores and service businesses—anywhere customers place orders repeatedly, queues form, or staff availability can become a bottleneck.
Does a kiosk really increase revenue?
Yes—and it’s not just theory. After introducing self-service kiosks, McDonald’s reported roughly a 6% increase in revenue. Customers naturally add more items and upgrades when ordering at their own pace. The same principle applies to small cafés and bistros. And on top of that, kiosks help reduce labor costs.
How is the kiosk connected to my POS system?
The kiosk terminal is fully integrated with Elementary POS. Orders flow directly to the kitchen or inventory system the same way as staff-entered orders—no manual re-entry, no errors.
Can I manage the menu myself, or do I need a technician?
You can manage everything directly in the Elementary POS admin—just like your regular menu. Any price change or new item appears instantly across all devices.
What happens when the kiosk is not in use?
When idle, the kiosk can display your menu, daily specials, or promotional items—acting as a digital menu board and silently marketing your offers even when no one is ordering.
How quickly does the investment pay off?
It depends on the business, but for operations with busy peak hours, ROI is typically fast. The kiosk either reduces labor needs or increases throughput without hiring additional staff.
Do I need special internet for the kiosk?
No. Kiosk Mode runs on the same connection as your POS—standard Wi-Fi or mobile data is enough. No special network setup or dedicated line required.
