NEXTEP SYSTEMS, a provider of customer self-order technology, has added iPad Ordering to its automated ordering portfolio, the company announced today.

NEXTEP provides enterprise software and industrial grade hardware, complete with installation, support, and full integration to existing POS and backend systems. The company is a turnkey provider of self-order solutions.

Aiming to provide a single touchpoint for managing menu items and prices for kiosks, digital menu boards, online and mobile ordering, the company has developed the ‘MyNextep’ enterprise software.

Providing restaurants, deli operators, and other high-volume venues two new cost effective options, NEXTEP iPad Ordering is divided by Self Order iPad kiosks and line-busting tablets. The iPads will be running MyNextep.

Combined with the tablet, the solution seamlessly integrate with existing POS and backend systems and can be mounted in a secure, industrial-grade enclosure which then mounts on to the counter.

For the line-busting tablet option, NEXTEP touts mobility as the key benefit.

This solution includes a ruggedized enclosure with hand strap for employee use, the company said.

Lines will be shorter, check averages will increase, and there will be additional order point options for guests, as they can order and pay at the iPad Kiosk.

“NEXTEP self order solutions reduce errors, remember customers’ previous order preferences, strengthen customer loyalty, and significantly improve check averages through intuitive upselling,” said Tommy Woycik, president of NEXTEP SYSTEMS.

“The popularity of the iPad, as well as the iPhone and iPod Touch, has a lot of companies jumping on the self order bandwagon, as these devices offer new ways to engage the customer. Like every device, they require best-in-class, intuitive and secure software to deliver an exceptional experience,” said Woycik.

“After six years of focused self order solution development, NEXTEP’s software is proven to provide unparalleled functionality for self order devices.”
