This type of WooCommerce website makes the ordering process easier for customers and streamline restaurant operations. Having an online ordering system can make day-to-day operations more efficient for a restaurant.

On the other hand, when a customer places an order online, they take their time to browse the menu and get familiar with add-on deals and offers that your restaurant must be offering. These websites are focused on Deliver or Pick-Up orders.

These are the principal features that come with integrating a kiosk environment.

Customers can quickly see the menu by scanning the 2D barcode with their cameras.
