​

Do you have two ordering kiosks in the dining room now? 

Yes! The two fully functional kiosks were installed in late 2023. They are working great, and it has solved our staffing issues since mid-March of 2020. 

​

At the A&W Inver Grove location, the initial study done in-house has an average kiosk ordering time from walk-up and touch, to walk-away and done ordering, is 3 minutes and 8 seconds, for an order of between 1-4 people. This data is as of 4/16/2024.

 

One of the great things about the two kiosks is that the wait time to start placing your order has been reduced by 55%.

 

The longest recorded time someone has spent at a kiosk is 9 minutes, and that's because that particular customer's credit card was rejected several times as overdrawn, and not because of kiosk error.

 

Generally, it takes just a bit longer to order if you are a first-timer at the ordering kiosk; and then going forward, the time to order is reduced by at least 25% and as much as 75% as a person get used to ordering with the kiosk. So please be patient as others are new to the kiosks.

 

If you don't know what you want to order, then obviously it's going to take you longer at the kiosk. So please review the menu above the counter prior to using the kiosks. The kiosks only accept credit cards, and not cash or bitcoin. If you prefer to use cash, simply go through the drive-thru window or walk-up order at the drive-thru window.

​

Once your order is complete at the kiosk, you are to take a order number and wait near the counter for your order to be called. Once you order is called by a staff member, you can take your order to your table our outside to the patio or your car. The food will not be delivered to your table by a staff member.
