bessa Gastro Kiosk
The bessa Gastro Kiosk is the standalone self-service terminal software of the bessa platform. Guests order and pay directly at a touchscreen terminal; the order is then forwarded to a bessa Kassa running in the background, which processes the order and issues the receipt. A bessa Gastro Kiosk therefore does not run on its own — it always needs a connected bessa Kassa as the booking instance. Typical deployments: quick-service restaurants, hotel self-service areas, canteens, food courts.
Also known as
