Self-service kiosk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The self-service kiosk rose with the development of the ATM and adoption by consumers coupled with advanced technologies such as touch-screens. Self-service kiosks are hardware devices that work in combination with self service software, allowing users to perform any number of possible transactions. The method of input is either a keyboard, touch-screen, or both. Some kiosks include card readers, ticket and receipt printers, bill and coin depositors, and other more complex devices. The benefit of these machines is intended for both consumers and business industries.

Consumer benefits include ease of access, reduced transaction time, access to information and the ability to perform multiple transactions.
