SkieCan I run an order-taking tablet in kiosk mode?
Yes. Allow only your ordering or point-of-sale app, use full-screen kiosk mode or a one-app list, hide the Play Store and turn off what the job does not need. Staff or customers then see only the order screen, and you manage every tablet from one dashboard.
Restaurants, cafes and counters use tablets to take orders. The risk is that the tablet becomes a general-purpose device. Staff play games, customers poke around, and the order app is closed by accident. A kiosk setup fixes that.
Create a group such as 'Table tablets', attach a policy and a list that contains only your ordering app, and apply kiosk or a one-app list. Hide the Play Store, disable the camera if the app does not use it, and set Wi-Fi to the shop network with a Wi-Fi profile, which Skie stores encrypted.
Operations are simple. If the menu app is updated on Google Play, the device updates it as normal. If you change the ordering app, change the list and every tablet follows. A window can shut the app down outside opening hours. If a tablet is replaced, the replace-a-device flow keeps its group and history and frees the old seat.
Remember what a kiosk is not. Skie is software, and customers use devices they already own or buy their own. Tablets without SIMs work fine on Wi-Fi. Your ordering app and its sign-in are handled by that app, not by Skie. A practical tip: before opening day, test a full shift on a spare tablet, including a reboot and a Wi-Fi drop, and keep written steps for an admin to change the kiosk when the menu app changes.
