Clover Kiosk vs PalmNet Self-Service Kiosk

Clover Kiosk is a restaurant self-ordering system built around an all-in-one device. Customers browse menus, customize items, and enter orders on a 24-inch display. An 8-inch payment touchscreen and thermal receipt printer are integrated. The kiosk connects to Clover POS and pulls menu items and prices, while orders appear on Clover Kitchen Display System or print to a kitchen printer. Payments support contactless, chip, swipe, and debit PIN methods, with Clover Security end-to-end encryption specified. Wi-Fi, ethernet, and LTE provide connectivity. Restaurants can place the unit on a countertop, mount it to a wall, use an optional floor stand, or use a 100mm VESA mount. The floor stand has high and low settings. Clover lists Order Kiosk for ordering and payment on a Clover device, plus cross-selling and upselling options. The device costs $3,499, paid once, with a $34.95/mo per device software fee.

PalmNet Self-Service Kiosk lets restaurant guests browse menus, customize items, place orders, and pay in store without staff assistance. It is presented for fast food stores, tea shops, cafes, and restaurant chains. Menus can switch languages and show images, prices, descriptions, sizes, add-ons, notes, combo recommendations, and offers. Promotional banners may use images or video, while membership features include login, points, coupons, discounts, gifts, and other benefits. Listed payments include online, card, and QR methods, with counter payment available when needed. Palmnet says the kiosk synchronizes in real time with POS, kitchen display, membership, and online ordering systems for unified orders, inventory, and data. The large PALMKit K01 is intended for high-traffic locations; the compact PALMKit MK01 fits counters and pickup areas. Palmnet recommends hardware and setup based on space, traffic, and payment methods. Pricing is available by quote, with fees and billing defined in an order form, plan, or invoice.
