What is LC Kiosk?
LC Kiosk turns any tablet into a self-service ordering station for your coffee shop. Set it on your counter and let customers browse your menu, choose their drink size, and place orders — all without waiting in line.
Sign in with your Local Coffeehouse owner account, and your full menu loads automatically — organized by category, complete with item photos, descriptions, and pricing. Customers simply tap to browse, select a size, add items to their cart, and place their order with their name. Orders appear instantly in your Owner app, ready for your barista to prepare.
