When it comes to self-ordering, hardware makes all the difference. Even the smartest ordering platform won’t shine if the device can’t keep up. That’s why ORDERMONKEY teamed up with Pan Oston, the kiosk pros with over 50 years of experience building custom retail solutions.
The outcome? Self-order kiosks that are fast, reliable, and built to fit any concept. Perfect for a cozy café, a busy QSR, or a multi-location chain. Rock-solid on the inside, sleek on the outside, and flexible enough for every budget.

For small restaurants, we recommend the BLUE FIRE Micro. This kiosk is compact, affordable, and fits easily anywhere, while running the same ORDERMONKEY software and processing the same payments as larger units.

Scaling is actually simple. You can start with one kiosk, get comfortable with the setup, and then easily copy your menus, settings, and workflows as you open new locations.
