DineEngine Kiosk Ordering is cloud-based in-store ordering software for restaurants and other venues. It runs on touchscreen devices, tablets, and other hardware that can open a modern web browser in kiosk mode, including older POS touchscreens and iPads. The kiosk menu syncs with DineEngine’s back-end menu management system in real time. Operators can configure it for dine-in or take-out, and set menu imagery and branding in the back end; updates take effect in real time. Orders pass through the DineEngine ordering platform to the POS, where they are marked as dine-in or take-out. The product supports integrated payments, but currently works only with Heartland-enabled credit card readers. Receipt printers can be added, and receipts can also be sent by email. The product page states that the kiosk is PCI compliant and uses DataCap TranCloud secure VPN connectivity to encrypt in-store transactions. DineEngine’s integrations page names Paytronix and Spendgo as loyalty providers and describes pre-built third-party connectors. DineEngine lists use in fine dining, fast casual, quick-service restaurants, food halls, healthcare, schools, and other industries. Pricing is on request.
