In the restaurant industry, a digital payment terminal must above all simplify the customer journey and streamline operations. There is no need to pile on tools: an effective terminal is based on a clear and proven design.
👉 an ordering kiosk
👉 point-of-sale software to display menus and manage orders
👉 a payment terminal for collecting payments
👉 all centralized in a single back office
This is precisely the approach we offer, designed for on-site dining, takeout, and click & collect.
How much does an integrated digital payment terminal cost?
The figures below are indicative estimates. They do not constitute our prices.
As each project is different, a customized quote is necessary to accurately estimate the cost based on your needs.
1. Equipment & installation (per terminal)
👉 Prices are estimated to range from approximately €2,000 to €10,000 (at purchase), including:
- the touchscreen control terminal (screen, chassis, components)
- the mounting system or cladding (wall, base, furniture)
- the payment terminal (TPE)
- any peripherals (printer, accessories)
- del ivery
- on-site installation
- network infrastructure if necessary
- commissioning and testing
The price differences are mainly due to:
- the size and performance of the terminal
- the level of finish and trim
- the number of devices
- the complexity of the installation
- the context of the site (existing restaurant, opening, event, etc.)
Purchasing or renting the terminal: how does it work?
The equipment can be purchased outright or financed through a leasing solution.
Both options allow you to equip your facility, but do not involve the same financial commitment.
With a cash purchase, the cost of the equipment is paid for once. This is the most economical solution in the long term, as there are no financing costs.
When renting, the equipment is paid for in monthly installments spread out over time. This option limits the initial investment, but the total cost of the equipment is generally higher than if purchased outright. In fact, you should expect an additional cost of up to 30% due to financing and the length of the contract.
The choice between buying and renting therefore depends mainly on:
- of the budget available at the outset,
- of the planned operating period,
- and the institution's financial strategy.
👉 In all cases, the financing method is defined at the time of the quote, in order to offer a solution tailored to each project.
2. Software subscription
👉 approximately €40 to €200 per month per terminal, depending on:
- enabled features
- the level of customization
- multi-terminal management
- support and updates
3. Payment fees
👉 approximately 0.55% to 0.8%, varying depending on:
- commission model
- transaction volumes
4. Financing method
Cash purchase: no additional financial costs
Rental: expect up to 30% on top of the cost of equipment

Click & collect: a natural use for the kiosk
The terminal is particularly well suited to click & collect in the restaurant industry:
- the customer places an order at the kiosk
- choose pickup or takeout
- pay immediately via the payment terminal
- the order is transmitted in real time to production
Result: less waiting, fewer errors, and better anticipation of flows.
Customer autonomy: a direct impact on profitability
In the restaurant industry, the autonomy offered by an ordering kiosk profoundly changes the way customers consume. At a kiosk, customers are no longer constrained by the pace of service or the pressure of waiting in line. They take the time to browse the menu, compare offerings, and make their choices at their own pace.
This freedom has an immediate effect on the quality of the order. Dishes, options, and extras are visible throughout the process, which greatly reduces oversights and errors. Customers confirm orders that they have actually chosen, with a better understanding of what is on offer.
In terms of operations, this autonomy translates into very tangible benefits. Orders are more complete, the average basket size increases naturally, and returns at the checkout decrease. Teams spend less time correcting or redoing orders and can focus on preparation and service.
The terminal does not replace humans: it removes the pressure when making a choice. By streamlining this key moment, it improves both the customer experience and the profitability of the point of sale, without adding operational complexity.
