CodeOrder Kiosk vs PalmNet Self-Service Kiosk

CodeOrder Kiosk turns a tablet into a self-service ordering station for restaurant customers. They can browse a menu, customise items and pay without staff intervention, with guided steps for add-ons, sizes and cooking preferences. Menu prices, stock levels and sold-out items update in real time from WooCommerce, which must be installed and active because CodeOrder is a WordPress plugin. A kiosk can use its assigned Stripe Terminal reader, with a global reader fallback. Tokenized kiosk URLs support location and reader assignment; lockdown mode keeps the tablet in a single-app experience compatible with guided access. An idle screen can display promotional videos, daily specials or brand content. The kiosk integrates with CodeOrder POS, KDS and Stripe Terminal; the product page also lists Star, Epson, Stripe and 20+ other platforms. Self-order kiosk mode is available in Pro and Agence, but not Starter. Starter costs $9.90 per month, Pro $14.90 per month and Agence $31.90 per month. A 14-day trial is offered.

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.
