HMSHost rolls out kiosk ordering in quick
service restaurants
Meeting the needs of busy travellers, global restaurateur HMSHost is offering self-
order kiosks in quick service restaurants it operates in airports and highway travel
plazas across North America. This modern ordering and payment amenity is now
available across a variety of HMSHost quick service restaurants in over 50 airports
and travel plazas and will be deployed in approximately 100 locations by the end of
2019. The innovative kiosk solution utilises the QikServe self-service platform and is
seamlessly integrated with HMSHost’s point-of-sale system.
Kiosk ordering in these restaurants serves travellers using QikServe’s enterprise
platform, allowing guests to browse the menu and make selections, order, and
pay via an intuitive digital interface. The ordering process also includes a range of
cross-selling and up-selling options that offer guests more options to add to their
meal. The kiosks have already demonstrated a typical increase in the average trans-
action value of around 20%.
Self-order kiosks improve the guest experience for travellers by helping combat
long lines and providing more flexible levels of interaction when placing an order.
Guests have more time to browse the menu with kiosk ordering, often leading to
the discovery of new favourites and greater sales. The platform also helps during
times of high customer volume, common in travel venues. n
