The QSR challenge

Speed matters and your queue is costing you

  • 1 in 5 customers will leave if the wait is longer than 3 minutes
  • Slow service reduces order volume, satisfaction and revenue
  • For QSRs that rely on volume, speed is non-negotiable

Proven impact of self-service kiosks in QSRs

  • McDonald’s reported 20% higher ticket value through kiosks
  • Wendy’s saw a 15% increase in upsell acceptance during early pilots
  • QSRs using kiosks cut queue times by up to 50% during peak hours
