We’re excited to announce new customer experiences that make it easier for your customers to order and pay. Kiosk mode is officially here. We’re also rolling out a beta version of a customer facing display app that improves the checkout experience.

Kiosk Mode
Kiosk mode is a self-serve ordering experience that helps businesses improve the checkout flow and also drives down their operating costs. It’s easy to setup, is already built into your talech Register (no additional app to download) and only requires you to purchase an additional device license for each station. Kiosk mode can also be used to collect donations, create new retail experiences and more. Contact your sales representative to sign up for new devices. Learn more.

Customer Facing Display (BETA)
talech’s customer facing display provides your customers greater visibility into the purchase flow. You can customize the display to engage your customers at the point of purchase with promotions and custom messaging. The customer facing display app is free to use. If you are a talech customer, contact us to be part of the beta program.

Bundle Tags
Bundles with tags provides tons of flexibility to create sets of combo products. For example, you can create a combo meal using any sandwich, any drink and any side or you can sell a group of any 3 shirts as a set. Learn more.

Cash Drawer Edit & Audit Capability
Managers and admins can close a cash drawer shift and record the amount at a later date to speed up shift changes. Any changes are audited and tracked in the cash drawer report on talech.com. Learn More.

talech makes it easier for you to process returns and exchanges. Customers can return an item and exchange for an item of any value. For items of lesser value, talech will automatically refund the difference on the customer’s card or allow them to choose cash back and store credit options. If the item being exchanges is of greater value, the customer only pays the difference. Learn more.

We’ve made it even easier to sell and track products using talech. Use Bundles to create groups or combinations of items. Stock to Sale units makes it easier to track what’s left in stock when you sell drinks. Finally, get more control over applying discounts at the product level through our Product Tags feature.
