While mobile payments and digital wallets have surged worldwide, cash remains an essential part of daily life in many regions. According to the Bank for International Settlements, cash still accounts for more than 70% of retail transactions in parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Restaurants, cafes, and retail operators in these markets require solutions that serve both tech-savvy consumers and customers who rely on cash.
Meiding Industrial’s new kiosk bridges this gap by combining a 23.6-inch curved touchscreen, integrated POS system, receipt printing, QR code scanning, and a fully functional cash transaction module. Customers can pay quickly and securely using their preferred method—cash or digital—while businesses benefit from reduced staffing pressure, faster turnover, and improved operational efficiency.
