Restaurant and Hospitality Kiosks

Touchmonitor Solutions for Restaurants and Hospitality ProvidersSelf-Service and Point of Information

The touch interface is universal and can be used by anyone, regardless of language, education, or socioeconomic or cultural background. The natural, intuitive feel of a touch interface makes every user an instant expert.

A free-standing, countertop, or mini kiosk strategically placed in the hotel lobby, airport concourse, or customer dining area enables visitors to make their own choices about the services you provide, while helping to build customer loyalty and reducing employee overheads. Customers can use kiosks to check in and check out, order their own meals, make hotel and plane reservations, become acquainted with local tourist spots, and even book and collect movie tickets.

Kiosk touch products are available with a host of touch technologies. Elo's IntelliTouch surface-wave technology is the most widely used for kiosk applications because of its clarity and resistance to scratches. SecureTouch technology provides an additional measure of resistance to breakage and vandalism because of its tempered glass construction. Elo's projected capacitive technology is the best choice for drive-through and outdoor kiosk applications that are exposed to harsh weather conditions.

Point-and-Touch Monitors for POS

Elo POS TouchmonitorsElo can provide a sturdy, rugged touchmonitor for a casual dining environment or something stylishly designed to blend in with the décor of the finest dining establishment or hotel lobby. And when cost is the key criterion, Elo's affordable 12", 15", and 17" LCD touchmonitors provide a solution that will accommodate your budget. Our countertop/desktop POS systems (such as the 1229L and 1529L) can fit into less space with a smaller footprint than older cash register systems.

Elo POS TouchmonitorsElo offers touchmonitors with an array of integrated peripherals, along with HID and OPOS software compatibility that application developers require. Options include a magnetic stripe reader (MSR) and rear-facing customer display, including a full 12" VGA monitor that can deliver targeted digital advertising or interact with the customer as an independent touchmonitor. Peripherals are always integrated ergonomically into the housing and designed to harmonize with the refined styling of the monitor.

  • AT4 four-wire resistive technology, which provides a cost-effective solution for small form factor applications, such as handheld devices
  • Advanced CarrollTouch infrared, chosen by the world's largest manufacturer of POS systems
  • Elo surface capacitive technology, for backward compatibility with existing systems

Made to Order for OEMsElo can also design and build complete customized touchmonitors or build directly to your design specifications. Take advantage of Elo's well-established supply chain and Asia-based controlled manufacturing processes to deliver customized quality while lowering your costs.

Sealed for Public Access

1939L TouchmonitorElo Kiosk TouchmonitorsElo's open-frame touchmonitors for kiosks (such as the 1739L and 1939L) are the industry's first sealed touchmonitors designed specifically for public-access kiosk applications. With a custom-designed chassis and sealed bezel surface, Elo's versatile open-frame touchmonitors integrate easily into your kiosk design. Elo also maintains the fixed outside dimensions of open-frame touchmonitors much longer than the average plastic-case monitor manufacturer, reducing the chance you will need to redesign your kiosk around a monitor component change.

Interactive Digital Signage

Interactive Digital Signage and Oversized KiosksBigger is better. Today, networked digital signage is attracting customers' attention everywhere. Large chains appreciate the benefits of multicasting information across locations instantly, as well as the possibilities of targeted narrowcasting of their message at scheduled times. Take your digital signage one step further with the interactivity of touch. Elo can produce both tabletop and rear-mount touchmonitors 32" (such as the 3220L) and larger for your specialized application.

A Kiosk on Your Countertop

Countertop and Mini Kiosks with Touchmonitors or TouchcomputersElo's countertop/desktop touchmonitors (such as the 1529L) and touchcomputers are perfect for a wide range of hospitality kiosk applications for which cost, mobility, and flexibility are key criteria. Countertop/desktop displays can fit into just 25 to 50 percent of the footprint of a freestanding kiosk enclosure. Interactive displays can be easily moved around to meet changes in floor space layouts. Elo's countertop/desktop touchmonitors are packaged in different form factors designed to be placed on existing hospitality fixtures, such as shelving, countertops, a customer service desk, or a concierge station.
