At this week's Wincor World 2014 trade show, Wincor Nixdorf will showcase a kiosk application in a replica of a McDonald's restaurant, where guests at McDonald's can use an Easy Order terminal to place their menu orders themselves and pay for them by card, according to a news release from Wincor.
The company said the kiosk simplifies ordering, food preparation and payment processes, especially at peak times. Wincor developed the kiosk terminal specifically for McDonald's in Germany and adapted the terminal's design to McDonald's corporate image, the release said.
The unit's touch-based interface makes it very user-friendly for the restaurant's guests, and initial tests revealed that up to 50 percent of McDonald's customers used the terminals during peak hours, according to the release. The company plans to roll out the solution this year in other European countries.
