Samsung Electronics has announced the expanded availability of Samsung Kiosk, an all-in-one solution that offers contactless ordering and payment capabilities, according to a press release.

Providing customers with easy install options and a protective coating, the kiosk is now available in 12 countries worldwide, including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, France, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Austria, Australia and Singapore.

Available in a grey-white color, the 24-inch touchscreen display — powered by Samsung's System on Chip technology — the kiosk eliminates the need for an external PC while reducing power consumption compared to standard use external PCs. The kiosk adopts a modular design to provide a variety of payment options, including a cradle for major EMV terminals, in addition to barcode and QR code readers along with a built-in printer and Wi-Fi system.

The countertop type can be installed on any counter or table within a store, without the need for any additional construction. The kiosk can also be wall-mounted.

Samsung applied a UL-certified antimicrobial coating to the kiosk display. The coating also prevents the screen from being tarnished by oxygen and sulfur in the air, maintaining picture quality throughout the lifespan of the kiosk. In addition, the display is covered with a shatterproof film.

The kiosk uses three-layer security protection powered by Samsung Knox technology, designed to protect its hardware, payment platform and application, as well as customer information.

It also supports application development on the secured platform through a Linux-based open-source operating system powered by Tizen, supporting web standard technologies (HTML5, JavaScript, CSS).

Fintech and point-of-sale solution partners are joining the Samsung Tizen Kiosk ecosystem, with already more than 20 partners such as Grubbrr, Softpoint, Nanonation Inc., 900 Solutions Corp., Big Digital Corp., Global P.O.S, EuroPOS, Nowbusking and others.
