Applova Self Ordering Kiosk vs TRAY Self-Service 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. 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.

TRAY Self-Service Kiosk gives restaurant guests another way to order and lets operators manage kiosk sales with TRAY POS. Menus, items, and prices update from TRAY HQ Enterprise Cloud, and operators can select which items appear on the kiosk through TRAY HQ Enterprise Menu Management. Existing cashier terminals can be switched into kiosk mode; TRAY says countertop conversion takes less than 30 seconds. The Android-based software also runs on screens from 10 inches to over 40 inches, in portrait or landscape, with countertop, wall, or floor mounting. It accepts card and electronic wallet payments, including non-cash orders paid elsewhere through “Order Here, Pay There.” TRAY says kiosks can operate offline and continue sending transactions to the kitchen. The company reports average revenue gains of 18–22% from selective upsells and menu management. Its integrations include 7shifts, Dayforce, MarketMan, and Magensa/Magtek. Pricing is available on request; the page invites prospective customers to request a quote or schedule a demo.
