Applova Self Ordering Kiosk vs Sapaad

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.
