Belchicken is a fast-growing restaurant chain with locations in Belgium, the Netherlands, and France. It’s quickly expanding, and self-ordering kiosks have become a staple in its restaurants. Belchicken turned to partner Eutronix for a kiosk that was not only compatible with its Android application but also took self-ordering to the next level.
Eutronix’s self-ordering kiosk solution is designed to help quick-service restaurants chains (QSRs) enhance customer experience, increase efficiency, and maximize revenue. These kiosks enable customers to place orders seamlessly, reducing wait times and freeing up time for the staff to focus on food preparation and customer service. For a smooth experience, Eutronix sought hardware compatible between the different components and the software.
