This report looks at arguably one of the more explosive yet most difficult areas to define in the IT sector - namely Self-Service Kiosks. Key to any review of Kiosks is a definition of what types of kiosks that are included. In this study we ventured beyond retail in the breadth of our discussion, but focused only on those devices where payment is currently or soon to be taken. As a result, we came up with the following 6 categories:
- Self-Checkout Systems - Computerized systems that allow shoppers to purchase tangible products unassisted in a retail setting.
- Ticketing Kiosks - Those found at airports, amusement parks, bus terminals, parking, movie theaters and subway/train stations that enable a customer to purchase a ticket for a ride or attraction. These are different from the third category "Check-In" kiosks in that they are the first-contact in the transaction.
- Check-In Kiosks - These are kiosks that confirm previous payment. These are quite common in lodging and travel settings.
- Food Ordering Kiosks - These are devices that allow either fast food or casual dining customers to place their orders and make payment without input from employees who are then redeployed to order fulfillment.
- Postal Kiosks - These are the new kiosks installed in the US Postal Locations to handle the mailing of letters/packages.
- Other Retail Kiosks - This group consists of a wide variety of transaction kiosks that may be found in retail and hospitality settings.

Product Highlights
The rationale for kiosk installation varies from business to business, but there are some common findings across deployments. In the case of Check-in Kiosks, airlines such as Southwest and Delta claim that as much as 75% of all passengers use these kiosks for check-in. Given the severe focus on customer service, both by those serving and those being served, these numbers indicate that appropriate use of kiosks offers significant return, whether in financial or customer appreciation/loyalty terms.
The beginning of the report addresses the trends and challenges of such devices in the retail/hospitality/travel industries. The report then moves to the quantitative functions of the Self-Service market (Shipments, Installed Base, Revenue Turn) and presents five-year forecasts for each. In the body of the report, we begin to focus on the particular kiosk types, why they have been implemented, who they target, and the best in class as of this writing. We place a special focus on how payment is accepted and methods for improving card acceptance. We conclude the report with a look to the future; we take a look at a small selection of new kiosk implementations that show significant promise for broad adoption in the coming years.
