Walk Up Systems, Codespear and Vultron Display Walk-Up Kiosk
Combining Nutritional Data & Self-Serve Ordering for Fast Food
Menus Addresses FDA Obesity Concerns and Helps Reduce Operational
Costs LONG BEACH, Calif., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- FS-TEC Show --
Walk Up Systems, Codespear and Vultron Display Technologies have
partnered to produce an innovative walk-up touch screen kiosk
application providing comprehensive nutritional information and
optional interactive ordering for fast food restaurants. Integrated
to a restaurant's existing POS system, the kiosks are designed to
address FDA obesity and nutritional labeling concerns as well as
the operational efficiencies provided by self-serve order entry.
The systems can help increase order revenues and reduce operational
costs. The kiosks utilize an intuitive new touchscreen interface
that Walk Up Systems has already sold to food service manager
Sodexho for use at the University of South Carolina. The first
phase of the South Carolina installation allows students to check
menu items and nutritional information at a student union food
court that serves more than 5,000 meals per day. Needed data can be
quickly accessed through an animated user interface that mimics the
structure of a food court. Phase 2 of the project, to be completed
by March, will allow customers to order and pay for their meals at
all 13 restaurants using credit cards and student account cards.
Even the most complex orders can be completed in 30 seconds or
less. Walk Up Systems provides the application software that runs
on the kiosk. Codespear collaborated in the software development
and configures all kiosk components, including speakers, printers
and credit card readers. Vultron manufactures the kiosk units. The
new kiosk solution is being demonstrated at the FS/TEC 2003 Trade
Show that opens today in Long Beach, CA. It can be seen at Walk Up
Systems (Booth 1238) and at Booth 450. The kiosk interface can also
