Applova Self Ordering Kiosk vs RestioX

Applova Self Ordering Kiosk is an Android touchscreen system for restaurant customers to browse menus, customize items, place orders, and pay in-store. It supports item modifiers, combo meals, upsells, and multiple payment methods. Personalized recommendations can use customers’ previous purchases. Orders can go directly to the kitchen, with Applova describing instant routing for QSR kiosks. Restaurants can choose countertop, wall-mounted, or floor-standing hardware, quoted separately from the software. Applova lists Clover, Square, RPOWER, GoDaddy, and other restaurant-solution partners, and says the kiosk integrates with Square POS for order and payment management. Third-party payment processors handle card transactions and are described as PCI DSS compliant; Applova says it does not store or handle cardholder data. The product targets QSRs, fast-casual businesses, multi-location brands, and restaurants of all sizes. Pricing is on request for a monthly software plan, with hardware quoted separately. Support includes a dedicated team and 24/7 customer support.

RestioX is a restaurant management platform that combines point of sale, online ordering, kitchen tickets, inventory, staff, billing, and related operations. Its POS supports split bills, discounts, kitchen order ticket printing, and tax-compliant invoices; the maker says it works online or offline.

Listed delivery connections include Uber Eats, Wolt, Bolt Food, Talabat, and Grab, with two-way order synchronization. The AI suite contains 18 tools based on a restaurant's orders, recipe costs, stock levels, and floor state; proposed changes require approval. RestioX also lists a REST API, signed inbound webhooks, per-action staff permissions, manager PIN approvals for sensitive money actions, and audit logs. The Trial Package costs nothing forever and limits use to 100 dishes, 10 categories, 100 delivery orders monthly, two staff members, one branch, and 100 MB storage. Subscription costs $10 a month; Life Time costs $199, paid once. Platforms include Android, iOS, web, and API access.
