  • Nothing new to buy

    No kiosk, no card reader, no new tablet. Use what you have.

What is KIS

The kiosk your guests already carry in their pocket.

Instead of lining up at a kiosk or the counter, guests scan a QR code at the table and do it all on their own phone.

  1. 01

    Scan the QR code

    One code on each table or at the counter. No app to download.

  2. 02

    Browse a menu with photos

    Your menu, always current: prices, options and sold-out items update the moment you change them.

  3. 03

    Pay right on the phone

    Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The money goes straight to your Stripe account.

  4. 04

    The kitchen sees it at once

    Paid orders appear on the kitchen tablet. The guest follows the order live until it is ready.

Try it

Order as a guest

Scan the code with your phone’s camera. Our sample café’s menu opens just as your guests would see it, and you can place an order. It is paid at the counter, so no card is charged.

Why stores switch

Less to buy. Less to wait for.

  • No kiosk to buy

    No kiosk to buy, lease or repair. Guests order on their own phones.

  • Use the tablet you have

    Orders show up on a tablet or computer you already own, in the kitchen or at the counter. A receipt printer is optional.

  • Open today

    Add your menu, print the QR codes and take your first order the same day.

  • Your own ordering page

    Every store gets its own online menu link, without building a website.

  • Guests find you by location

    Guests who open KIS inside your store see it first, from their phone’s location, and start ordering with one tap. Their location is never saved.

  • A menu board that keeps up

    Photos, prices and sold-out items change on every phone in seconds.

  • An extra pair of hands

    At rush hour, orders and payments take themselves. Staff focus on the food.

  • Shorter waits, happier guests

    Everyone orders from their seat at once, instead of one at a time in a line.
