SkieCan restaurants use Skie to lock order tablets?
Yes. A restaurant can lock each order tablet to its ordering or kitchen app with kiosk mode or a one-app list, hide the Play Store, and block settings changes. Staff and guests then cannot open games or the web. Rules keep working if the restaurant Wi-Fi drops, and the dashboard shows which tablets are online.
Restaurants use tablets for table ordering, kitchen displays, loyalty sign-ups and sometimes payments. The tablets get greasy, dropped and borrowed, and an unlocked one soon has a video app on it.
Skie runs as the device owner, so you can make the tablet do one thing. Use full-screen kiosk mode, or a one-app allow list with your ordering app. Hide the Play Store, leave the browser off, and block factory reset from Settings, safe mode, adding users and uninstalling Skie. Optional switches turn off the camera, screenshots and outgoing calls if the app does not need them.
Create a group per outlet if you have several, and give each outlet manager a branch role so they see only their own tablets. Head office sees all outlets. The dashboard shows last seen, battery and compliance. Low battery is flagged, which helps when a tablet on a table stand has come off its charger.
Opening hours are easy to handle with schedules. You can have the ordering app open from the start of service and a locked screen overnight. Windows may run overnight, and the device switches on its own.
Your ordering software may need the web or a payment app. If it is a Play Store app, add it to the list. If it is a private app file, that is not available yet, as private app uploads are something the team is working on, so check the app is on Google Play before you plan.
