Applova Self Ordering Kiosk
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.

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.
