Kiosks and displays for leisure and entertainment venues

Ticket and food ordering kiosks, programme displays, video walls and interactive attractions for cinemas, bowling, family attractions, gyms and arcades. Links to ticketing and ordering systems are scoped integrations, confirmed before anything is quoted.

Quiet, then everyone at once

Cinemas, bowling alleys, family attractions, gyms and arcades share a pattern: long quiet spells, then everyone arrives together. A film starts at eight, a party is booked for two o'clock, the school holidays begin. Queues for tickets, food and wristbands form at once and ease just as quickly.

Visitors want to know what is on, what it costs and where to go, and programmes and prices change by day and season.

Kiosks can take routine ticket and food orders while staff look after guests who need help, and large displays show what is on. How far a kiosk connects to your ticketing or ordering system is scoped with you. See self-service ordering.

Example applications

Illustrative examples only. They are not accounts of completed customer projects.
  • Tickets in the foyer

    For example, freestanding kiosks let guests buy or collect tickets, with the link to your ticketing system scoped as an integration.

  • Food and drink ordering

    For example, kiosks beside the counter take snack and drink orders, and a screen shows collection numbers.

  • What's on, outside and in

    For example, a high-brightness window display shows today's programme to the street, while tall digital posters in the foyer carry trailers and offers.

  • An interactive host or a photo moment

    For example, a large kiosk with camera and microphone greets visitors with an on-screen character, or a 360 photo booth gives party guests a clip to take home. The software is built per project.

Software that would need scoping

Scoped and developed per project, and quoted separately from the hardware.
  • Ticketing integration

    Selling or collecting tickets at a kiosk depends on whether your ticketing system offers a supported way to connect. Assessed before quoting.

  • Food and drink ordering

    Menus, meal deals, collection numbers and how orders reach the counter or kitchen. Print timing is configurable.

  • Programme and promotion content

    Who updates listings, prices and trailers, and how content is scheduled by day, session and season.

  • Interactive experiences

    Games, on-screen characters and visitor guides are designed and built per project. We do not supply a ready-made AI assistant.

  • Party and group booking enquiries

    How enquiries for parties, groups and corporate events are captured and followed up, scoped around your sales process.

Questions to be ready to answer

  • Which ticketing or booking system do you use, and can other software connect to it?
  • Which payment provider supplies your card terminals?
  • Where do queues form at peak times, and how much floor space is there for kiosks?
  • Will any kiosk or screen be outdoors or facing a sunny window?
  • Who updates programmes, prices and offers, and how often?
  • Are age-restricted tickets or products sold, and how will staff handle those sales?
  • What accessibility needs apply, including wheelchair reach and an alternative to the touchscreen?
  • Is this for one venue or several?

What this includes — and what it does not

Ticketing and ordering are scoped integrations

A kiosk can sell or print tickets only if your ticketing system offers a supported way for other software to connect, and the same is true of food ordering and your till. Age-restricted sales still need a member of staff, and a camera on a kiosk is not a means of verifying age or identity. Card terminals come from your payment provider unless we agree otherwise.

Frequently asked questions

Can kiosks sell tickets from our existing ticketing system?

Only if that system offers a supported way for other software to connect, or its own kiosk application that can run on the hardware. We establish this before quoting.

Can one kiosk handle both tickets and food?

It can be scoped that way, but it means two integrations and a longer journey on screen. At busy venues, separate kiosks for tickets and food are often simpler to use and maintain.

What does the AI interaction kiosk actually do?

It is hardware: a large touchscreen with camera, microphone and a high-performance graphics PC configuration. What visitors experience on it is software we design and build for your project. We do not supply a ready-made AI assistant.
