Kiosks have been a hot topic in the hospitality industry for quite some time now. With a variety of options on the market, we have dedicated our time to determining what kiosk will best serve our customers when it comes to custom design capabilities and interface connectivity. Oracle’s Simphony Checkout application can be installed on your existing Simphony system allowing extensibility applications such as OTMS gaming, room charge, and digital receipts interfaces to function as usual. By using Simphony Checkout for your kiosk functionality minimal adjustments are required to modify the OTMS interface flow for a customer facing screen. One of the real strengths is that all the item programming and screen layouts can be done in EMC directly.  The actual screen look and feel can be customized using HTML5 using the OTMS Checkout extensions to give customers a best of breed kiosk solution with the familiarity of standard Simphony programming combined with the option to use a modern look and feel with endless customization options. The options are endless when it comes to screen design, gamification, and menu setup. Our development team is prepared to assist with all of the customizations you can dream of on your Simphony Checkout kiosks. 

Kiosk screens can be modified to include different colors, logos, or images, as well as animations or interactive features. In this video you can see how the user may tap different objects on the screen to initiate a design change. For example, tapping the shooting star prompts the spaceship to appear. Features like this add a little more personalization into the experience of ordering off of a computer. OTMS is also able to add modifiers to the menu items allowing customers to select toppings on certain items to personalize their order
