What is a kiosk?

A kiosk, according to the dictionary, is a small structure having one or more sides open, such as a newsstand; a thick, columnlike structure on which notices are posted; or an interactive computer terminal available for public use for Internet access or site specific information.

Kiosk Marketplace’s defintion of a kiosk aligns most closely with the third definition given by the dictionary. The website defines a kiosk as: ”An interactive, self-serve device provided by a venue, not the user, that helps the user do something that is informational and/or transactional that streamlines, automates or eliminates wait or cost.”
