Meridian Kiosks and Tyco Electronics Elo TouchSystems Team for Self-Service Food Ordering Stations
Aberdeen, NC, 8/13/2007 – Meridian Kiosks, a leading manufacturer of kiosks and self-service terminals, announced today that they have teamed with Tyco Electronics’ Elo TouchSystems business unit to provide self-service ordering stations in restaurants and convenience stores. The first units have been deployed at a number of locations throughout the Midwest.
“The desire for self-service options in restaurants is growing daily as improved accuracy of orders and speed of service are beneficial to both restaurant owners and their customers,” said Bill Nulf, Director of Sales for Elo TouchSystems products. “Meridian is a leading provider of kiosks and their stylish designs, quality construction and ability to accept various forms of payment are all keys to driving quick customer adoption.”
Food ordering stations are offered in a variety of footprints and hardware configurations. Many of Meridian Kiosks’ standard kiosks can be utilized in restaurant settings and branded to fit the environment. Custom units are best when a specific aesthetic is needed and MK’s in house design & fabrication allow for rapid prototyping of unique models.
Kiosks can accept payment in any format: credit/debit card, checks, bills and coin. Overhead signage/displays and dynamic menus are options.
“Food ordering stations have been piloted for years in all kinds all settings and reliability is usually a determining factor as to whether a solution is fully deployed. We rely on Elo TouchSystems products for their quality and commitment to deliver an unparalleled customer experience,” said Chris Gilder, chief executive officer of Meridian Kiosks.
