RoboServer introduces new self-serve machine for fast-food restaurants

04/01/06 After thorough refinements and a successful trade show debut, RoboServer Systems Corp. has unveiled the new version of its flagship system for 2006, the RoboServer Self-Serve Machine.

RoboServer's "Line Buster," so-called because it will allow fast-food customers to skip long lines and place their own orders by selecting a few buttons on a touch-screen kiosk, has been unveiled with a new software platform, a new user-interface, and a choice of three kiosk models.

RoboServer's new Self-Serve Machine is offered in a choice of three sleek kiosk models. It is fitted with a 15" touch-screen monitor, a credit card processor, and a new easy-to-use user-interface; as well as hardware components from leading manufacturers such as Kiosk Information Systems, Dell Computer, and Semtek.

RoboServer's kiosk-like Self-Serve System, also known as the "Line Buster," is similar to an ATM machine or self-checkout stand found in grocery stores -- but its software systems are designed specifically for self-ordering at fast-food and quick-serve restaurants. Customers can process their own orders by selecting a few buttons on the touch-screen, pay for their order with the machine's credit card processor, and pick up their order at the counter. Industry estimates show that self-serve technologies can cut customer waiting time by as much as 33%.

RoboServer Systems has developed Point of Sale and Self-Serve software technology for the restaurant industry for more than three years.

The Company's key growth product suite is the RoboServer Self-Serve System -- a software and hardware terminal that allows fast-food customers to order and purchase their own food and beverages, reducing the costly expense of employee services and reducing customer order time.

Similar technology has been proven and deployed in large grocery and hardware chains throughout the United States because Self-Serve technology reduces costs for businesses, and reduces ordering time for customers. Self-Serve technology is an industry-changing technology that will become significantly more prevalent in fast-food over the next few years. Self-serve technology is a strong growth industry that can demonstrate an easily quantifiable return on investment to client restaurants, even in soft economies.
