Choose Hardware for Retail Self-Checkout or Restaurant Self-Ordering
A self-checkout machine and a self-ordering kiosk can share a touchscreen structure, but their hardware requirements differ. Start with the customer workflow before comparing modules and installation options.
For project planning, buyers may also compare self-checkout kiosk cost, scanner integration, retail workflow and countertop or floor-standing format before requesting a configuration review.
Retail Self-Checkout Kiosk Hardware
For retail checkout, review how customers scan products, read prompts, collect receipts and use the selected payment device. The scanner position, printer access and payment-terminal bracket should suit the store layout and checkout application. Confirm the required modules on the selected hardware rather than assuming every device is included.
Retail POS Hardware
Restaurant Self-Ordering Kiosk Hardware
For restaurants and QSR projects, review touchscreen menu interaction, order submission, ticket or receipt printing and payment-device placement. A self ordering kiosk for restaurants requires a hardware configuration that suits the buyer's application. Tesp supplies hardware; ordering software, payment services and local installation are not included.

Frequently Asked Questions About Self-Service Kiosk Hardware
What is the difference between self-checkout and self-ordering kiosk hardware?
Retail self-checkout usually requires product scanning, receipt printing and payment-device placement. Restaurant self-ordering focuses on touchscreen ordering and ticket or receipt printing. The final modules depend on the buyer’s application and the selected kiosk configuration.
Can I order one kiosk sample before a larger order?
Some kiosk models may support a sample unit before a larger order. Sample availability, pricing, lead time and included modules depend on the selected structure, required configuration and supplier policy.
What should I send for a self-checkout kiosk quotation?
Send the retail or restaurant workflow, Windows or Android requirement, screen and installation preferences, scanner and printer needs, payment-device model, quantity and destination. If you already have a layout or hardware specification, include it with your request.
What should I confirm before requesting a self-service kiosk sample?
Confirm the use case, operating system, screen size, scanner, printer, payment-device mounting, cabinet format, quantity and destination market. This allows us to check suitable available configurations and sample options.
Can Tesp test our kiosk software with the scanner and printer?
Where practical, Tesp can load a client-provided APK, installer or checklist on a sample unit, observe basic opening and module response, and share raw photos, videos or notes. Tesp does not debug software or provide final compatibility approval; that decision remains with the client’s technical team.
Can the kiosk carry our logo, color and packaging?
Logo, label, boot screen, enclosure color and packaging requests can be discussed with the supplier. Feasibility, MOQ, cost and lead time depend on the selected kiosk structure and the depth of customization.
Request Self-Checkout Kiosk Hardware Options
Send your self checkout hardware requirements to Tesp. Include the intended workflow, operating system, installation format, required modules, quantity and destination. We will review the hardware options and the details needed for a quotation. You can list any points that are still undecided.
