A smart ordering kiosk that increases sales, reduces wait times, and improves accuracy.
Iron Kiosk is a fast, well-designed digital ordering station that allows customers to place their orders independently, reduces congestion at the cash register, and enhances kitchen accuracy. Customers select dishes at their own pace, pay immediately, and the order is sent directly to the kitchen and Iron POS.
