PAR Kiosk is a guest-facing self-service ordering offering for restaurants using the PAR POS ecosystem. It supports kiosk experiences alongside web, mobile, and delivery channels, so operators can present a consistent ordering approach across customer touchpoints. The product is positioned for businesses ranging from individual restaurants to large multi-location brands, with deployment spanning cloud and self-hosted environments. Kiosk devices operate in-store and connect to local PAR POS services in a hybrid setup.

Pricing follows a contact-sales model, and there is no free plan. That approach suits restaurant groups evaluating kiosk ordering as part of a broader PAR technology deployment, where requirements may span multiple locations and channels. Buyers seeking immediate online checkout, published tiers, or a standalone kiosk subscription should expect a sales-led purchasing process instead. Support is available by phone and email, giving operators direct channels for implementation and ongoing questions.

Its strongest differentiator is the connection to live PAR POS data. Kiosks can read current menu and pricing information, check item availability, submit and retrieve orders through the local in-store API, and receive real-time notifications when register data changes. Dynamic upsells and menu logic add control over how items are presented during ordering, while offline support and peripheral compatibility address in-store operating needs. PAR Kiosk is a logical choice for PAR POS restaurants that want connected kiosk ordering; organizations built on another POS platform or seeking a broad, system-agnostic kiosk product should consider alternatives.

PAR Kiosk pros and cons

  • Where it wins
    • Dynamic upsells and menu logic support guided kiosk ordering.
    • Live PAR POS data keeps menus, prices, and availability current.
    • Offline support, peripherals, and local API connectivity suit in-store use.
  • Where it doesn't
    • Designed around PAR POS, limiting fit for other point-of-sale systems.
    • Contact-sales pricing provides no self-serve cost visibility.
    • Order exchange depends on connectivity with the local PAR POS API.
