Running a busy independent fast food restaurant? You can take some heat off by adding self-service ordering and payment.
But you don’t want it to cost the earth. You probably don’t need a ‘bells and whistles’ set up like McDonalds. Just an iPad will do.
Oh, and better make the installation as easy as possible too.
You’re in luck — we’ve put together a list of our top five iPad stands that will help shorten your queues and keep your customers happy.
1. Static 60 with Card Reader Mount
The Static 60 is a durable and stable iPad stand, making it perfect for customers to tap in their orders without the whole setup shaking – as can happen with some other mounts. It’s ideal for busy fast-food stores.
The lock-and-key security system means that you don’t need to worry about your iPads, even when things get crazy busy. It also looks great, with all the cables tidy and hidden away inside the mount.
The 60° angle makes it spot-on for readability. No matter how high your counter is, people will find it easy to read and interact with the screen. You can also switch between portrait and landscape to suit the style of your menu interface.
Finally, the card reader mount makes it easier and quicker than ever for customers to place orders and pay in the same place.
2. Desk with Card Reader Mount
The Bouncepad Desk tablet stand is designed with self-service in mind. It’s easy to install on the counter where you take orders. When it’s busy, customers can walk right up, order their food and pay right away without waiting around.
The iPad stand and card reader mount are sturdy and don’t wobble at all, and they can both be adjusted to just the right height and angle to serve your customers. You can mount a USB powered card reader with ease and all the cables are hidden away out of sight.
Tossed, a salad bar known for healthy and customizable food options, took their customer service to the next level with tablet ordering. Using an iPad and card reader with the Bouncepad Desk tablet stand made it easy for customers to explore the menu at their own pace and make selections without feeling rushed.
They’ve received great feedback from customers and have rolled this system out across their locations in central London. Read more here.
3. Flip with Card Reader Mount
The Flip iPad stand is ideal for fast-food counters, as you can easily flip the screen between the the customer and server.
Combined with a universal card reader mount, you can let people choose their items from the menu and pay instantly. If the customer needs any help from service staff, they can flip the screen over, make any necessary adjustments and flip it back.
4. Wall mount with Card Reader mount
The great thing about the Bouncepad Wall Mount (with card reader) is that you place it exactly where customers line up to order. It streamlines ordering and paying beautifully. Customers simply browse the menu, customize their orders, and pay.
The iPad mount is also built to last, making it perfect for high-traffic independent restaurants. It looks tidy and professional too, with all the cables neatly tucked away. The mount is positioned at a 60-degree angle for ease of use.
It’s compatible with any type of USD card reader and is super-simple to install with minimal disruption.
The Sumo is an even tougher version of the Static 60. It’s virtually indestructible, which is why it’s used in thousands of McDonalds restaurants for children’s entertainment.
Sumo tablet stands are easy to mount on walls or counters and can be rotated between portrait and landscape views. The motion stalk base is a useful feature that means customers can reposition the tablet themselves for easier viewing of the screen.
