To quantify this, we built a calculator that illustrates just how great the return on kiosk can be in your business.
Put in your own numbers like transactions a day, average order value, gross margin, what you actually pay your staff. This calculator will tell you exactly when a kiosk will stop costing you money and start paying you back, and exactly where that return comes from:
• Counter hours your team gets back
• Cover you're not paying for when someone calls in sick
• Customers who walk out of the queue at peak and now don't
• Bigger average orders when people order for themselves
• Fewer remakes, because the customer builds the order and confirms it
One thing we did differently: extra sales are counted at gross margin, not revenue. Most calculators use revenue, which makes payback look roughly three times better than it is and falls apart the moment a CFO opens the spreadsheet. Ours will give you a less exciting number that actually survives the meeting.
On conservative defaults it lands less than a month. Put your own numbers in and see where you sit.
