A self-order kiosk on an Android tablet you already own
Unlimited stations, one per-location price, orders straight to your kitchen.
Opero's self-order kiosk runs on tablets you already own. Add as many stations as you want with no per-device fee. Orders fire to the KDS and draw down inventory automatically.
Self-order kiosks usually mean a capital project: floor-standing units, a hardware lease, and a per-kiosk software fee. Opero makes a kiosk something you can spin up with a tablet you already own. Stand it up, lock it to kiosk mode, and guests can browse, customize, and pay, with the order flowing into the same system your staff already use.
The wedge
Opero is the Restaurant OS that runs on the tablets you already own: unlimited devices, one per-location price, no leased terminals.
What the self-order kiosk is
The Opero kiosk is a guest-facing ordering surface that runs on a standard Android tablet. Guests see your menu with photos and modifiers, build their order at their own pace, and pay on the card reader you buy from us. It's not a bolt-on app. It's part of the same platform as your POS, so kiosk orders are first-class citizens, not a separate stream you have to reconcile.
- Browse-and-build ordering with item photos, modifiers, and combos
- Upsells and add-ons surfaced at the right moment in the flow
- Guest pays on the card reader you buy from us, with order and payment captured as one record
- Runs in a locked kiosk mode on tablets you already own
- Unlimited kiosk stations per location with no per-device fee
How it works on the one-menu spine
The kiosk reads from the same per-location menu as your POS. You build a menu once on Opero's single spine; each location copies and edits it; the kiosk shows exactly that. So a kiosk never displays a sold-out item the kitchen can't make, and a price change you make for that location shows up on the kiosk at the same moment it shows up on the register.
When a guest places an order at the kiosk, it fires to the Kitchen Display and draws down inventory through recipe costing, the identical path a server-rung order takes. One menu, one order pipeline, every channel.
Why BYO-tablet and per-location pricing matter
Kiosk programs traditionally get expensive per station, which is why many operators cap how many they deploy. Opero removes that ceiling. Because you bring the tablets and pay one flat price per location, you can add a kiosk for a lunch rush, a catering pickup window, or a second entrance without a new contract.
- Add or move a kiosk by repurposing a tablet you already own
- No per-kiosk software fee, since it's covered by your one per-location price
- Right-size stations to your traffic instead of your hardware budget
- No floor-standing units or leased enclosures required to get started
One price, every channel
Opero $149 or Opero Full-Service $249 per location per month covers your POS, kiosk, QR ordering, and the rest of the OS. It's month-to-month, with embedded payments and one card reader for each register or kiosk that takes cards, bought from us.
Who the kiosk is for
- Fast-casual and quick-service concepts that want to cut line wait and free up staff
- High-volume lunch spots where order speed drives covers
- Food halls and counters that need flexible, movable ordering stations
- Multi-location groups standardizing the guest ordering experience across sites
- Operators who want self-order without a per-kiosk hardware lease
Halal restaurants get a Halal screen on the kiosk that shows only items whose derived halal status holds up. Opero marks the items; it certifies nothing.
POS and kiosk for halal restaurantsHow the kiosk connects to the rest of the OS
- Kitchen Display (KDS): kiosk orders appear alongside POS and QR orders in one queue
- POS: kiosk and counter orders share the same check and payment records
- Inventory & recipe costing: every kiosk sale updates stock and food cost
- CRM & loyalty: guests can tie orders to a profile and earn loyalty at the register or the kiosk
- AI command center: kiosk volume feeds your cross-location sales and labor insights
A digital menu board on a TV reads the same per-location menu the kiosk shows and refreshes on its own. It's a read-only board, no dayparts.

What hardware does the Opero kiosk need?
A standard Android tablet you already own, run in a locked kiosk mode. One card reader for each register or kiosk that takes cards, bought from us. There are no proprietary floor-standing units required.
Is there a per-kiosk fee?
No. Your one per-location price covers unlimited kiosk stations along with the rest of the OS. Adding a kiosk means repurposing a tablet you already have, so it doesn't add to your bill.
Do kiosk orders reach my kitchen?
Yes. A kiosk order fires to the Kitchen Display the moment a guest pays, in the same queue as POS and QR orders, and draws down inventory through recipe costing.
Can guests pay at the kiosk?
Yes. Guests pay on the card reader you buy from us using Opero's embedded payments, and the order and payment are captured together as one record.
Will the kiosk show sold-out items?
No. The kiosk reads the same per-location menu as your POS, so 86'd items and price changes appear everywhere at once.
Can I run kiosks at more than one location?
Yes. Each location runs its own per-location menu, and you manage all kiosks and locations from a single Opero dashboard.

Most kiosk pitches imply you will cut staff. That is not what happens in practice, and planning for it is how kiosk rollouts go wrong.
How Many Self-Order Kiosks Does a Restaurant Need?
The answer comes from one number most operators already have: how many orders you take in your busiest hour.

The technology is the easy part. Placement, menu preparation and the first two weeks are what decide whether the kiosk gets used.
