The Industry Group (TIG) and Kiosk Association Advance Accessibility with U.S. Access Board

WESTMINSTER, Colo., Sept. 22, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Industry Group (TIG) and the Kiosk Manufacturer Association (KMA) today highlighted recent work on accessibility, artificial intelligence, payments and self-service technology. The TIG/KMA Accessibility Committee met with the U.S. Access Board on Sept. 15 to discuss how accessibility must evolve as customer transactions increasingly span kiosks, touchscreens, payment terminals, mobile phones, QR codes, voice interfaces, AI systems, identity verification and human support.

The principle is straightforward: accessibility follows the transaction, not just the device.

“In the past, it was possible to isolate a kiosk or payment terminal and treat it as the accessibility question,” said Craig Allen Keefner, executive director of the Kiosk Manufacturer Association and CEO of The Industry Group. “Today, the question is whether a customer can independently and privately complete the transaction: arrive, reach equipment, identify the service, operate the interface, pay, receive service, get help and finish.”

Discussion included EV charging, self-service retail, smart vending, lockers, parking, drive-thru systems, payment and government-service workflows. The committee emphasized that conversational AI, voice, gesture, mobile apps, QR codes and biometrics can expand access, but should not become the only route a customer can use to complete a transaction.

TIG also noted market activity across its self-service and restaurant-technology coverage. Canopee Tech, a Miami-based quick-service restaurant technology company, appointed Bruno LO-RE as chairman and president alongside founder and CEO Thibaud Denolle. The company reports deployment across thousands of North American restaurant locations and plans to accelerate international growth.

For Fall 2026, TIG and KMA updated supporter, trade-show, targeted-email and market-intelligence programs for companies planning 2027 initiatives. TIGER 2027 will launch during NRF New York in January, expanding from a one-time report into a year-round intelligence offering with implementation analysis, quarterly updates and analyst access.

TIG and KMA will also participate in the Automated Retail & Kiosk Innovation Show (ARKI), Dec. 14–16, 2026, at Loews Miami Beach. The event covers kiosks, smart vending, self-checkout, payments, digital signage, AI and unattended retail. TIG/KMA will exhibit at booth 39. Qualified end users may use code INDUSTRY20 for 20% off the stated registration rate.

Kiosk and POS Market Report ‘TIGER 2026’ Released with RetailNOW 2026 Event

The report sizes the global self-service kiosk market at 39.4 billion dollars in 2024, growing to 82.1 billion dollars by 2031

DENVER, Colo., July 20, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Industry Group (TIG) and the Kiosk Manufacturer Association (KMA) will spotlight the convergence of POS, kiosks, digital signage, and edge AI at RetailNOW 2026, July 26–28 at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas. The initiative aligns with the release of TIGER 2026, a new market report from TIG that quantifies how unattended POS and self-service kiosks are reshaping global retail and payments.

Kiosk and POS Market Report ‘TIGER 2026’ Released with RetailNOW 2026 Event
Image caption: Kiosk and POS Market Report ‘TIGER 2026’ Released with RetailNOW 2026 Event.

Anchored by Intel’s first-time appearance at RetailNOW, the RetailNOW Walking Tour guides VARs, ISVs, and solution providers through a curated set of exhibitors including Intel, Advantech-AURES, POSIFLEX, Ingenico, Toshiba, Datalogic, Crane Payment Innovations, Bluefin, NMI, and Datacapsystems. The tour is designed as a practical roadmap for channel partners looking to extend beyond traditional countertop POS into unattended and software-defined deployments.

TIGER 2026 describes POS as a distributed, unattended, software-defined commerce layer spanning self-checkout, self-ordering, EV charging, smart vending, healthcare check-in, and digital-signage-enabled transaction points, rather than a single fixed-lane terminal category. The report sizes the global self-service kiosk market at 39.4 billion dollars in 2024, growing to 82.1 billion dollars by 2031, with unattended POS projected from 1.254 billion to 3.418 billion dollars at 15.4 percent CAGR.

For RetailNOW attendees, the message is clear: POS is no longer just a countertop terminal, but the operating system of self-service commerce. TIGER 2026 is being released in conjunction with RetailNOW 2026 to give POS dealers, VARs, ISVs, and payment professionals a data-backed roadmap for expanding into unattended, software-defined, and accessibility-aware self-service deployments.

The Industry Group operates a network of news and research sites covering kiosks, digital signage, retail automation, EV charging, and smart city technology, and produces TIGER series reports on self-service markets.

The Kiosk Manufacturer Association (KMA) is a global, cause-based industry association advocating for best practices in self-service, including ADA/WCAG accessibility, payments compliance, and secure, reliable deployments.

Together, TIG and KMA provide both the market intelligence and policy framework that help the retail IT channel turn self-service opportunities into scalable, serviceable solutions.

Report offers multi-faceted insight on self-service kiosk industry’s double-digit growth

DENVER, Colo., July 6, 2026 (SENDPRESS NEWSWIRE) — The self-service kiosk industry continues to expand at a fast pace, driven by evolving automation technology and growing customer acceptance of self-service in nearly all venues. Companies and organizations seeking to understand this technology-intensive sector now have a comprehensive and easy-to-understand resource, the Tiger 2026 Market Report, courtesy of the Kiosk Manufacturer Association.

Report offers multi-faceted insight on self-service kiosk industry’s double-digit growth
Image caption: Report offers multi-faceted insight on self-service kiosk industry’s double-digit growth.

The 35-page report sizes the global self‑service kiosk market at about $39.4 billion in 2024, rising to roughly $82.1 billion by 2031, marking an 11.1 percent combined annual growth rate. The numbers are based on previous KMA reports, seven different industry reports, economic data, regulatory filings, reports from publicly traded companies and additional input from companies.

The report is designed to benefit kiosk industry companies in their business planning and those interested in investing in this fast growing trade.

“The weighted whole‑market growth rate comes out to 11.1 percent CAGR, but that ‘average’ hides enormous spread between segments,” said Craig Keefner, editor in chief of the report.

The report breaks the self-service kiosk industry into 14 segments which are modeled individually:

  • EV charging
  • Smart vending/micro markets
  • Smart lockers
  • Healthcare
  • Unattended POS
  • Self ordering for QSRs and fast casual restaurants
  • Digital signage
  • Check-in (hotel, airline, events)
  • Self checkout
  • Ticketing
  • Financial services/ATMs
  • Bill payment
  • Crypto ATMs
  • Others

The report also covers six adjacent verticals — parking, gaming, betting, DMV, self‑storage and self-service carwashes — contributing more than $7 billion on top of core kiosk spend.

The segment-built model for the report prevents double counting of segments in the final total.

SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Segment highlights include:

  • EV charging kiosks come in at 31.5 percent CAGR, taking the category from about $0.85 billion to $5.8 billion by 2031.
  • Smart vending and micro‑markets grow at 16.5 percent CAGR, moving roughly from $1.5 billion to $4.5 billion.
  • Unattended POS and smart lockers grow in the mid‑teens, while self‑checkout grows around 9 percent but remains the single largest line item at about $15.4 billion.
  • At the other end of the growth curve, crypto ATMs are expanding at 4.2 percent, still cash‑flow positive, but no longer a significant growth story.

THREE CONVERGING FORCES CONTINUE TO ANCHOR THE SELF-SERVICE KIOSK INDUSTRY:

  • Faster EV-charging kiosk roll-out under the U.S. National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) government initiative and the European Union Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) ruling.
  • The operational pull of the European Accessibility Act (in force since June 28, 2025).
  • The large language model (LLM) voice transition in quick-serve restaurant (QSR) drive-thru.
  • Each of these forces is now expressed in segment-specific growth rates rather than averaged into a single whole-market number.

GROWTH SCENARIOS

The report also offers Bull/Base/Bear growth scenarios through 2031 for each of the 14 segments, with identified drivers such as EV charging build‑out, accessibility mandates, services penetration and AI reliability.

One of the most unique benefits the report offers is a quantified understanding of the role service plays in kiosk revenue as opposed to hardware revenue. While hardware accounts for the lion’s share of industry revenue, service is growing faster than hardware, commanding $12.4 billion in 2026. In addition to boosting revenue, service supports kiosk uptime, reliability and AI readiness.

RETROFIT VERSUS RIP-AND-REPLACE

One of the most practical outputs of the Tiger Report is a normalized five‑year total cost of ownership (TCO) model that compares retrofit against rip‑and‑replace.

Retrofit cost comes in around $7,700 per kiosk over five years, versus roughly $18,000 for rip‑and‑replace, a 57 percent lower TCO. On a 1,000‑unit fleet, that gap implies about $10.3 million of preserved capital by upgrading instead of starting over.

GEOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

The report also includes geographic analysis of industry revenue. The United States commands about 37 percent of the global market at roughly $14.5 billion, followed by China at 17 percent ($6.8 billion), rest of Asia and Pacific at 14 percent ($5.5 billion), and core Europe (UK/Germany/France) at 13 percent ($5.1 billion). The rest of Asia Pacific is compounding fastest from a smaller base, while European growth is accelerated by the EU Accessibility Act moving from regulation to procurement driver.

The report comes in PDF form with 22 chapters and three appendices covering segment sizing, methodology, services, accessibility and adjacent verticals.

PURCHASE OPTIONS

The report is available in three versions:

  • The Basic Report (35 pages): $495.00 (Launch discount 40 percent through July 31, 2026.)
  • The Analyst Bundle buyers report includes an Excel market data pack, an analyst workbook, future updates through December 2026, and a voice AI in self‑service brief. Price: $995.00 (Launch discount 40 percent through July 31, 2026.)

The Industry Group and Kiosk Association to Showcase Next-Gen Restaurant Automation and Accessibility at 2026 NRA Show

CHICAGO, Ill., April 15, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Industry Group, the leading authority on self-service technology and digital signage, today announced its comprehensive technology showcase for the upcoming National Restaurant Show (NRA), held May 16–19 at McCormick Place, Chicago, IL. Located in the North Building at Booth #5829, the exhibit will feature a curated ecosystem of restaurant automation, AI-driven ordering, and accessibility solutions.

POLYTOUCH Kiosk

As the restaurant industry faces continued labor pressure and evolving guest expectations, The Industry Group (TIG) and the Kiosk Association (KMA) are moving the conversation beyond standalone hardware toward integrated, “infrastructure-level” digitization.

“Restaurant operators are no longer looking for isolated kiosks; they are looking for a unified operating system that handles throughput, accessibility, and high-level data processing simultaneously,” said Craig Keefner, Chief Editor for The Industry Group. “Our showcase at Booth #5829 demonstrates how edge computing—specifically Intel-powered platforms—serves as the backbone for modern restaurant automation, from AI age verification to conversational voice ordering.”

KEY TECHNOLOGY HIGHLIGHTS AT BOOTH #5829:

  • High-Performance Hardware: Pyramid Computer will showcase sleek, industrial-grade self-order kiosks designed for high-volume quick-service (QSR) environments.
  • Universal Accessibility: Vispero / JAWS for Kiosk will demonstrate industry-leading screen-reading technology, ensuring self-service is accessible to blind and low-vision guests in compliance with ADA standards.
  • Secure Infrastructure: SiteKiosk will present its secure software stack for unattended digital signage and kiosk management.
  • Conversational AI: URway will feature natural-language voice-ordering systems that reduce friction at the point of sale.
  • Identity & Compliance: MyCheckr will display AI-based age verification technology, a critical tool for automated restricted-item sales.

The booth will also highlight the role of Intel-powered edge infrastructure, illustrating how modern processors (including the Core Ultra series) enable real-time AI workloads without the latency of cloud-only solutions.

IN-PERSON BRIEFINGS AND STRATEGY SESSIONS

Craig Keefner and technical experts from the partner network will be available throughout the show for private briefings regarding:

  • ADA and accessibility strategy for national rollouts.
  • The transition from traditional POS to AI-integrated self-service.
  • Securing the software stack in unattended retail.

Self Service Kiosk News for October 2024 from the Kiosk Manufacturer Association

Our booth at IAAPA features a strong lineup of partners

WESTMINSTER, Colo. and ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 15, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Kiosk Manufacturer Association (KMA) updates for October 2024 announced. As we gear up for IAAPA in Orlando this November, we’re excited to showcase our expertise in the kiosk market. Our demos will include self-order, digital wayfinding, cash-to-card, and accessibility. These solutions are particularly well-suited for amusement parks and cruise ships, where self-service, self-order, and digital signage (such as wayfinding) are in high demand.

Did you know that Disney in Orlando has over 200 restaurants and covers 43 square miles? Did we mention free passes? We have those too.

“Our booth at IAAPA features a strong lineup of partners, including Pyramid kiosks (two units), RedyRef (two units), AcquireDigital, and TPGi. TPGi will be showcasing a demo from imageHOLDERS,” says KMA executive director Craig Keefner. “In the digital signage pavilion, you can also find 22Miles and Elotouch, further demonstrating our commitment to collaboration and innovation. Our next tradeshow after IAAPA is NRF in January.”

DataByte: The latest India datamart report says “kiosk market 64B.” That is for 2032 and more than half of their numbers are ATMs. This data is significant for us as it underlines the trending growth in the kiosk market. There is double-counting (KFC deploys 5000 kiosks & so does ACRELEC America who makes them for KFC. McDonalds deploys 10,000 kiosks? Diebold Nixdorf does too. And for triple counting Pyramid Computer makes the McD units for DN.

Olea Kiosks Unveils its Chicago Healthcare Check-In Kiosk: Enhancing Patient Experience with ADA-Compliant Design

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Olea Kiosks®, Inc. is excited to announce the launch of its latest advancement in healthcare technology, the Chicago Healthcare Check-In Kiosk. This innovative and inclusive solution offers a sleek, modern ADA-compliant design, elevating the user experience for all.

One of the standout features of the Chicago is its commitment to accessibility. This new design includes an offset monitor to provide easier wheelchair access and a tilt bracket to assist people of all heights. For those with low vision, the unit includes the thoughtful integration of an Audio Nav system and a keyboard to improve the user experience.

"This new design is the result of conversations with many healthcare companies that are all trying to figure out how to implement self-service properly. We wanted to ensure it addressed ADA, but not just for the sake of checking boxes, but making it user-friendly and comfortable for all users," explained Frank Olea, CEO.

"We also wanted to offer facial recognition as part of the standard product because that requirement is coming soon, so we incorporated the camera and the tilt bracket to ensure the picture can be taken properly regardless of height. You're juggling HIPPA and several requirements into one design so we're proud to deliver a kiosk that is better designed and includes more features and is better value than what's on the market today," added Olea.

The Chicago is available in three form factors: a Height-Adjustable, Freestanding and Desktop.

By streamlining the check-in process, healthcare providers can reduce wait times, optimize staff efficiency, and ultimately enhance patient satisfaction.

For more information on the Chicago Healthcare Check-In Kiosk, visit https://www.olea.com/product/chicago-healthcare/

A first-customer deployment of the Chicago kiosk is anticipated to be operational by the end of October.

Olea Kiosks Unveils Revolutionary Driver Check-In Kiosk to Transform Logistics Operations

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Olea Kiosks® is proud to announce the launch of its latest innovation in kiosk technology, the Tampa Driver Check-In Kiosk. This new and innovative solution was designed to transform the way logistics companies manage driver arrivals and departures.

Traditionally, driver check-ins involve time-consuming manual entries, resulting in long lines and increased wait times. These inefficiencies lead to operational delays, increased costs, and driver dissatisfaction. The Tampa Driver Check-In Kiosk offers a smarter, faster, and more accurate solution, significantly reducing check-in times and administrative overhead.

The kiosk automates data entry by scanning identification documents like driver's licenses and cargo manifests to capture and store data securely in real-time. With automated identity verification and document validation, the system ensures that only authorized personnel gain access to the facility. Not only does the kiosk speed up check-in, but it also adds enhanced security without relying on a human resource.

The inclusion of a receipt printer provides immediate, tangible confirmation of check-in details, including time stamps and route confirmations, enriching accountability and communication.

Additional optional peripherals such as intercoms, HD web cameras, barcode scanners, RFID readers, and I/O controls for gate access can be added to further improve security.

For more information on the Tampa Kiosk: https://www.olea.com/product/tampa-kiosk/

"After discussions with several logistics organizations and learning that it's not uncommon for entire truckloads to go missing, this robust, yet simple design provides tremendous value for this market," explained Frank Olea, CEO. "In addition, the ability to deploy in-lane not only helps speed up the check-in process even further but it also helps track loads and optimize yard space while improving driver safety," added Olea.

A first-customer deployment is expected to be operational by the end of June.

Kiosk Machine Industry June 2024: Self Service Kiosk Machine – InfoComm Preview and Acrelec Feature

WESTMINSTER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Kiosk Manufacturer Association News: See our Preview of InfoComm 2024 - See 22Miles, Peerless-AV, LG and Panasonic to name some. Biggest AV show of the year (along with ISE in Barcelona). We work with AVIXA as a main partner of ours.

In the restaurant and drive thru space we did a response report on the latest WW market report by Datos. Usually data reports are terrible but RBR does pretty good. See feature.

FEATURE:

Our latest Gold sponsor is Acrelec. Interesting facts are Acrelec has over 30,000 software licenses (many at McDonald's I hazard the guess). Interesting too is the greater reliance on self order kiosks in the French market. In the US you might see 6 kiosks (3 double-sided) whereas in France the standard is closer to 10 to 15. Datos list Acrelec as worldwide leader.

It's not surprising either to see Acrelec involved with Self Checkout (see Check out at Walmart NOT going away). Acrelec is owned by Glory, a financial giant in retail. Be sure and read our complete writeup - https://kioskindustry.org/mcdonalds-kiosk-acrelec/.

Staff Shortages: A Lingering Challenge

Labor shortages have been a longstanding issue in food service and retail industries, exacerbated by high turnover rates, wage competition, and shifting priorities among workers. The recent implementation of the New California Labor and Employment Law of 2024 has added complexity to staffing challenges, with increased minimum wages and expanded paid sick leave impacting business budgets and operations.

"The labor shortage isn't just an inconvenience for businesses; it negatively impacts their operations and bottom line," says Mo Sloan, CEO of EZ-Chow. "Reduced service levels, increased wait times, and employee burnout are just some consequences businesses face."

EZ-Chow's Solution: Self-Service Kiosks

EZ-Chow's self-service kiosks act as strategic allies for businesses, handling repetitive tasks such as order placement, payment processing, and basic customization options. This reduces reliance on staff, improves efficiency, and empowers customers to enjoy a seamless and personalized experience.

"Our self-service kiosks are more than just fancy touchscreens; they're tools that help businesses conquer staffing challenges," explains Sloan. "By automating routine tasks, businesses can free up valuable human employees to focus on higher-value activities, improving service levels and customer satisfaction."

Supply Chain Disruptions: Navigating Uncertainty

Businesses face significant challenges due to supply chain disruptions caused by natural disasters, pandemics, geopolitical tensions, and logistical failures. They impact product availability, inventory management, pricing, and demand forecasting.

"Managing supply chain disruptions requires agility and real-time visibility," notes Sloan. "EZ-Chow's self-service kiosks offer operational customizations, dynamic menu displays, and omnichannel integration, helping businesses optimize their operations."

Empowering Businesses for Success

EZ-Chow's comprehensive digital solutions, including self-ordering kiosks and digital ordering platforms, empower businesses to navigate challenges effectively and deliver exceptional customer service.

"If you're ready to take the next step to excellence, EZ-Chow can be your trusted partner," says Sloan. "Our advanced digital solutions ensure operational excellence despite staffing shortages and supply chain hurdles. Contact us today to learn more!"

Introducing The Boulder Kiosk from Olea: A New Era for Outdoor Solutions

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Olea Kiosks®, a visionary provider of self-service kiosk solutions, today announced its latest design, the Boulder Outdoor Kiosk. This new and innovative solution was created to address the growing number of outdoor self-service use cases such as food and beverage ordering, ticketing, parking, and EV charging payments.

The Boulder kiosk is highly modular and made to hold different configurations of payment terminals, printers, scanners, and cameras. It's offered in both free-standing and wall-mounted configurations, in different colors, and with custom vinyl branding.

Outdoor kiosks are inherently difficult to build, so few standard options exist for outdoor venues looking to leverage self-service business models. The Boulder was built to address this gap in the market. It's equipped with a 22-inch PCAP multi-touch touchscreen and sunlight readable display. The kiosk supports Windows, Android, and Linux applications, and with Olea's network of software partners is compatible with most POS Software Systems.

"We're really excited about the Boulder because the market was asking for a cost-effective, quality outdoor product and this model is perfect," explained Frank Olea, CEO. "We've also designed a dual-sided option to maximize footprint and to deliver even greater value," added Olea.

The Boulder's first deployment will be live soon in an EV charging application. The Boulder kiosk will be on display at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, May 18 to 21, 2024.

Kodak Moments Becomes First Business Inducted Into the Kiosk Hall of Fame

ROCHESTER, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Kodak Moments is the newest member of the Kiosk Industry Hall of Fame - an award presented by the Kiosk Industry Group to recognize outstanding achievement and long-standing service to the kiosk industry. Kodak Moments is the first business to be inducted into the Kiosk Hall of Fame since its inception in 2003. Previously, the Hall of Fame was an honor exclusively for individual contributors to the industry.

"No business has made a greater impact on the kiosk industry than Kodak Moments," said Craig Allen Keefner, Kiosk Industry Group Manager and curator of the Kiosk Hall of Fame. "Kodak Moments was the original global provider of kiosks."

Hundreds of thousands of consumers use Kodak Moments touchpoints each day in a wide range of retail locations including pharmacies, big box stores, and small businesses. Indoor and outdoor kiosks are also deployed at amusement parks, resorts, and on cruise ships. "The proliferation of kiosks across retail and travel and leisure has been driven largely by photo kiosks," said Keefner.

Kodak Moments is also a leader in kiosk fleet management with a complete understanding of kiosk performance, how to manage and service a fleet, and the skilled resources to drive kiosk success.

"We are honored to be inducted into the Kiosk Industry Hall of Fame," said Kodak Moments President Nicki Zongrone. "Consumers rely on us to help preserve their cherished memories as well as the everyday moments that are worth sharing. We look forward to our continued collaboration with our retail partners to provide consumers a simple, smart and modern photo experience."

Kiosks drive traffic to stores and help retailers accelerate growth

Kodak Moments offers retailers a variety of traditional photo prints and premium photo products that are easy for consumers to create and order on demand. Data analysis has shown that a retailer with a photo department will experience a higher market basket due to customer visits to order and pick up photo products.

Kodak Moments technology offers the flexibility to deliver products in a way that's most convenient to consumers, so they can buy and print in store or buy online with delivery options to ship to home, ship to store, or print in store the same day. "Kodak Moments supports a complete omnichannel experience," explained Keefner. "ATMs and airline ticketing kiosks are single function and designed for more linear transactions. Photo kiosks provide a wider array of products and services."

Kodak Moments kiosks process information from a variety of sources. Since every order is unique, based on an individual consumer's images, photo kiosks have a dynamic user interface to deliver an experience that adapts to what each consumer wants.

"Since our inception, we have continued to lead the retail experience with innovations that enable consumers to celebrate, relive and share their Kodak Moments," said Zongrone.

ABOUT KODAK MOMENTS

Kodak Moments is a leading global provider of photo products and services to retailers, consumers, and entertainment properties.

Olea Kiosks Introduces Redesign of Indoor and Outdoor Geneva Kiosk

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Olea Kiosks®, a visionary provider of self-service kiosk solutions, announced a redesign of its popular Geneva kiosk as it debuts this new model at International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAPPA) in Orlando November 14 to 17, 2023.

Olea's Geneva kiosk was designed for high volume amusement parks and attractions. It has now been upgraded to provide even more enclosure space for additional peripherals in a modular fashion. The re-design includes improved interior management for power supplies, cabling and networking gear, and adjustable shelves to assist with peripheral placement.

"Despite the popularity of the Geneva kiosk, we decided we could deliver even greater kiosk value with a redesign. Customers love the aesthetics, and we didn't want to change that part, but we wanted to make the peripheral cavity more flexible and convenient," explained Frank Olea, CEO.

"When we originally introduced Geneva, we designed an Indoor and Outdoor product that are essentially the same and we've been able to maintain that consistency. Adjusting the angles allowed us to deliver more enclosure space for more devices like printers, or even bill and coin acceptors or recyclers. With an improved locking system, we've also added an extra layer of protection against vandalism," added Olea.

The new Geneva Kiosk will be at International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAPPA) in Orlando, November 14 to 17, 2023 in the Kiosk Manufacturer Association Booth 6137.

Olea will also have various kiosk models throughout IAPPA in the following booths:

* Centaman - Booth 4650

* Connect&Go - Booth 2036

* PDC/Brady - Booth 3865

* VivaTicket - Booth 5100

Restaurant News -- Samsung with new VXT CMS for AI-powered voice order menu boards going into White Castle. New digital-only Whataburger. Outdoor pickup. Nice case study with Aramark.

ADA -- December 2023 brings the new self-service & POS guidelines from the U.S. Access Board. Several notable entries for Braille and screen-readers.

Industry Buzz Around Our Watercooler -- Couple of big deployments supposedly planned in restaurants. Charley's is in progress and it might be Burger King will follow McDonald's example and put in a thousand or so self-order kiosks. On the SCO front, it appears that Walmart is deploying its own SCO units (with lidar). That also would mean replacing the current software driving registers (Fastlane by NCR?). Our guess is the service people at NCR Bentonville are getting nervous. Costco is being sued for their website allowing all types of user info to be tracked by 3rd parties. Link below.
