Self-service kiosks versus traditional counter service — which boosts QSR revenue more? We break down the numbers.
It's the ultimate QSR face-off: self-service kiosks versus traditional counter service. Which boosts revenue more? Let's break it down like a burger order.
Counter Service: The Classic
Personal and reliable, but slow. Customers feel rushed, and upselling can be awkward. Average order value (AOV) is around £10, with a 10% upsell rate, per 2024 industry data.
Kiosks: The Modern Marvel
Kiosks are fast, fun, and upsell-friendly. Customers customize orders without pressure, boosting AOV by 20% (£12) and upsell rates to 30%. They're 99% accurate and cut processing time in half. A 2023 survey found 65% of QSR customers prefer kiosks for speed.
