NEXTEP SYSTEMS has announced the deployment of its Casino Express touchscreen buffet-entry kiosks at Casino Queen, in East St. Louis, Ill., and The Rivers, in Pittsburg.
According to a news release from NEXTEP, casino guests use the kiosks to enter the number of diners in their party and prepay for their buffet meals with cash, credit, debit or casino loyalty credit. The kiosks then issue a receipt the guests use to gain entry to the buffet. The kiosk also offers the casino an optional reservation module to incorporate.
Jeff Breazeale, NEXTEP's sales director, says casino dining establishments are particularly well-suited to deploy kiosk solutions:
Casino foodservice represents an ideal candidate for self-service. Casino dining concepts have high traffic, long hours of operation and relatively high labor costs, resulting in a three- to six-month payback period.
NEXTEP says Casino Queen deployed three of the Casino Express kiosks at its Market Street Buffet, while The Rivers installed four of the devices at its Grand View Buffet.
