Global Popularity Trend of Self-Service
Self-service kiosks are becoming the new norm in coffee shops globally. Post-pandemic, South Korean coffee shops have notably increased their use of self-service kiosks. These kiosks improve efficiency, reduce labor costs, and allow customers to pre-order, avoiding lines and enhancing dining efficiency and satisfaction. In addition to South Korea, there has been a significant increase in the number of self-service devices in coffee shops and beverage stores in regions such as the United States, Singapore, and Japan.

The self-service POS kiosk process is straightforward to learn, typically involving:
1. Selecting and Customizing Orders: Customers browse the menu via touch screens or QR codes, choosing their preferred coffee and food, and customizing to taste.
2. Payment: Customers complete payments through the kiosk, with options including cash, card, and mobile payments.
3. Order Preparation and Pickup: Post-payment, the order is sent to staff for preparation, and customers collect their orders from a designated area.
This streamlined process minimizes manual operations, reduces virus contact risks, and improves customer and staff efficiency, shortening wait times and enhancing customer experience.
