How To Choose Self-Checkout Hardware

Hardware is an important part of the self-checkout customer experience. It is crucial to consider your customer’s interactions with the hardware.

Here are factors to consider:

1. How robust is the hardware? Sure, you can get a $50 kiosk enclosure but what happens when customers try to knock it over? And believe me, this will happen! You want kiosks that will last for years and that will stay firmly rooted when touched by thousands of customers. Kiosk Group is Newline’s recommended provider of robust kiosks with the longest warranties in the industry.
2. Do you want cables showing? It is important that customers not see any cables. Newline Self Checkout’s hardware partner Kiosk Group designs beautiful kiosks that hide all cables.

3. What operating system are you using? Newline Self-Checkout chose to work with iPad because it is the most modern tablet and it is easy to get support from Apple.

4. What printers is your kitchen using? Newline is partnered with Star Micronics because they create the most reliable printers and have excellent support.

5. Do the kiosks represent your brand? Kiosks provide your customers’ first impression of your brand. Kiosk Group creates custom branded kiosks with your own design and images.
