How KioskEngine powered a complete self-service ordering solution for restaurants
The Challenge
GastroKiosk needed to build a reliable self-service ordering system for restaurants that could integrate with various hardware components and provide real-time monitoring capabilities. Traditional development would require specialized knowledge of hardware interfaces and months of development time.
The Solution
Using KioskEngine's SDK and KioskEngine backend data API, GastroKiosk.com was able to focus on their core ordering application while leveraging our pre-built hardware integrations, monitoring tools, and deployment infrastructure.
Business Impact
- 1Reduced development time from 5 months to just 1 month
- 2Decreased upfront software development costs by 70%
- 3Eliminated the need to build specialized hardware integration code
- 4Provided built-in monitoring and kiosk management capabilities
- 5Enabled the team to focus exclusively on the customer-facing application
- 6Hardware sourcing guidance with full legal compliance documentation
Integrated Hardware
All hardware interaction was implemented via KioskEngine SDK, eliminating the need for custom device drivers and direct integration.
- Payment terminal with contactless, chip & PIN capabilities
- Fiscal printer for legal receipt requirements
- Thermal printer for kitchen order tickets
- Barcode scanner for loyalty programs
API Integration
Back office system integration utilizing KioskEngine data API therefore no need for complex processing.
- Real-time transaction monitoring
- Hardware status and health checks
- Remote configuration updates
- Comprehensive sales and usage reporting and analytics
- Kiosk operations monitoring and diagnostics
Measurable Results
Concrete improvements achieved after implementing KioskEngine platform:
- 30% increase in average order value
- Reduced customer wait times by 65%
- 99.8% uptime across all deployed kiosks
- Seamless integration with existing POS systems
- Rapid deployment to multiple restaurant locations

1// Example: Interact with a payment terminal
2import { KioskEngineBuilder, DeviceType, ProductItem } from "@kioskengine/sdk";
3
4const sdk = new KioskEngineBuilder()
5 .withSandboxMode(process.env.NODE_ENV === "development")
6 .withDevice(DeviceType.PAYMENT_TERMINAL).build();
7
8await sdk.initialize();
9
10const terminal = sdk.getPaymentTerminal();
11
12// Define products
13const products: ProductItem[] = [
14 { id: "COFFEE-001", name: "Espresso", quantity: 2, unitPrice: 399 }, // $3.99 each
15 { id: "PASTRY-001", name: "Chocolate Muffin", quantity: 1, unitPrice: 299 } // $2.99 each
16];
17
18// Initialize transaction
19const result = await terminal.initializeTransaction(products);
20
21if (result.auth_res === "approval") {
22 console.log("Transaction accpeted!:", result.card_payment_data.auth_code);
23} else {
24 console.log("Transaction declined");
