Pros:

Simple to integrate with Square. Very user friendly. Customers love the interface.

Cons:

The cash button, at checkout is somewhat small and easy to miss.

Reasons for choosing KioskBuddy

So the customers could complete the entire transaction by themselves without any interaction.

Vendor Response

Hi Jason, thank you so much for your review! We're happy to hear that you're able to use KioskBuddy to allow your customers to complete transactions all on their own! Regarding the "cash" button, in our v3 beta version, there is a new checkout flow with the "cash" and "credit card" button options being the same size. This creates a better experience for your customers! If you're interested in trying out our v3 beta, feel free to check out this help article: https://www.kioskbuddy.app/help/v3-beta-setup -- Don't hesitate to reach out to support@kioskbuddy.app if you have any additional questions!

Pros:

It is very easy to use and super quick to set up. It is very customizable which was important for my brand.

Cons:

It does not have an option to accept cash or gift cards which is a little challenging. Plus it is somewhat hard to update for new menus.

Reasons for choosing KioskBuddy

Better price, quicker to get up and running and way more support and more customizable.

Vendor Response

Hi Jess, thank you for your review! Happy to hear the great feedback of ease of use and customizability of KioskBuddy. :) KioskBuddy does support both cash and gift cards! You can find out more info here: https://www.kioskbuddy.app/help/handling-cash-payments and here: https://www.kioskbuddy.app/help/square-gift-cards Regarding updating new menus: KioskBuddy is meant to be an "extension" of your Square platform, therefore we've designed KioskBuddy to work in tandem with your Square Item Library which does require manual importing/reimporting on your end. However, importing/reimporting on the KioskBuddy Dashboard should not disrupt your kiosk, and changes will always be reflected in realtime from the KioskBuddy Dashboard to the kiosk! We hope to improve this experience in the future!

Fastest, easiest, and most affordable kiosk system set up for my 1-woman mobile food business

Great platform—KioskBuddy is really the only way I can keep my business operational as a 1-woman mobile food stand. It makes order fulfilment and customer payment easy to manage while I get my products cooked to order.

Pros:

How easy it is for my customers to use. It is also very easy to set up and maintain.

Cons:

I'd like more control of the final look in my kiosk—the price fonts for example are hard to read and I'd like to be able to change that myself.

Reasons for choosing KioskBuddy

Toast is insanely expensive. I was also turned off by how aggressively their prospecting/sales team approached me.

Thank you for your review! Always happy to hear about ease of use! We will take your feedback into consideration for future improvements!

A great tool for our self-serve farm stand!

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

The integration with all our items and locations on our Square account. Like the improvements in the beta version for reporting.

Cons:

Couldn't enter gift card numbers manually until the beta version. Now the split payment is not intuitive when trying to use a remaining balance on a gift card. The payment page is a little confusing for customers as they are "grayed out" except for the default.

Vendor Response

Hi Greta, thanks so much for your review! We're so happy to hear KioskBuddy working at your self-serve farm stand! :) In v3 Beta Build 210, we've added a helpful message for gift card usage. In the event of an insufficient gift card balance and if you have Split Payments enabled, the customer should see a message that says "Gift card has insufficient funds. Please use the Split Payments option." This should help direct your customers to the appropriate payment setting. Thank you for your feedback on the "grayed out" payment options - at this time, that is the only style design, but we will take your feedback into consideration to help improve these buttons. If you have further feedback, don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@kioskbuddy.app - thanks!

Functionality

Pros:

The product was easy to set up for us. We're a mobile business with varying schedules throughout the year so it's great to be able to pause the subscription if need be. The interface is easy for customers to use, and it integrates well with Square.

Cons:

I think the way the reports transfer to Square could be improved. If I remember correctly, the sales tax is wrapped into the total. We also didn't have a quick and easy way to see what category of food/bev had the most sales. For example, we wanted to see how many of our drinks sold at farmers markets, but we weren't able to look at a report that gave us that information quickly.

Reasons for choosing KioskBuddy

I actually chose this to begin with and it's been great.

Vendor Response

Hi Kelly, thank you for your review! Happy to hear that KioskBuddy works flexibly for your mobile business. :) I'd like to point you to our v3 beta version which solves the issue of the lack of itemization that you are describing.

Pros:

The ability to integrate with Square is critical. It does that well. Sometime there are glitches but they seem to be resolved fast. We love the ease of the system for the customer.

Cons:

Scrolling of categories on the left side of the view we use isn't always obvious to the customer. Minor but something that often causes our customers to need support.

Vendor Response

Hi Robyn, thank you for your review and happy to hear the great feedback! I'd recommend using the layout preset "KioskBuddy V1" or "KioskBuddy V2" which shows each category in a card view that always shows the category cards "peeking out" at the bottom of the screen, which makes it more apparent that the customer needs to scroll down!
