In hospitality, Android-based in-room tablets create a meaningful connection between the guest and the hotel, giving the guest broad contactless control over their stay. Guests can order dining, make service requests, adjust room controls, and much more with a few taps of a screen. Esper enables the INTELITY platform to globally deploy and manage devices across all of a customer’s properties regardless of size. Through Esper’s DevOps platform we can do remote installation and reduce the reliance on IT support at each hotel.

Esper is the modern MDM platform for tech-first restaurants. Whether you’re managing a fleet of iPads for staff ordering, self-service kiosks, a variety of point of sale systems, digital menu boards, and anything else, Esper is the all encompassing answer to your device management quandaries.
Kiosks play a number of roles in a restaurant setting. They could be self-service kiosks for customers, digital menu boards, or even dedicated POS systems.
What is a self-service kiosk in a restaurant?
A self-service kiosk is a device that allows customers to walk up and place orders without interacting with an employee. It automates the ordering process and immediately sends it to the kitchen staff.
What are connected devices used for in restaurants?
Connected devices in restaurants can be used for self-service kiosks, POS systems, inventory management tablets, interactive seating charts, digital menus, and more.
What is digital signage used for in restaurants?
The primary role of digital signage in a restaurant is for digital menus, menu boards, and to display deals.
