The kiosk module, developed by Local Express, allows ShoptoCook clients to integrate a deli and catering model into their in-store media kiosks. The kiosk software enables customers to skip the line in the deli, bakery or meat section of the store and place orders they can conveniently pick up while purchasing other items in the store.
The kiosk system serves as a marketing engine as it integrates with existing POS systems and loyalty programs. Local Express’ kiosk module is independent of kiosk hardware, meaning the app can run on a low-cost tablet or be integrated into a store’s existing kiosk framework.
