EVERYTHING YOUR KITCHEN ACTUALLY NEEDS.
One platform across all four stations — same dashboard, same logic, same support team. Add a location, add a kiosk, swap a menu in minutes.
Drag-and-drop menu builder
Update prices, 86 items, or launch LTOs from any browser. Changes hit every kiosk in under 10 seconds — no app updates, no reboots.
Logic-aware modifiers
Conditional toppings, allergen flags, portion math, and required vs. optional rules — modeled exactly the way your kitchen tickets work.

Built-in attach-rate engine learns which items move together and surfaces them at checkout. Average ticket lifts 18–24% in week one.
One-tap order confirmation
Your staff sees the payment confirmation, taps confirm, and the kitchen ticket fires. Built for tablets, phones, and the existing KDS you already own.
Live revenue + reconciliation
Hourly sales, top-sellers, modifier mix, and daily payment reconciliation export — straight to your accountant in CSV or PDF.
English / Spanish / more
Toggle languages per location. Custom locales available for any cuisine — built in-house by our team, not outsourced.
Works when Wi-Fi doesn't
Local order queueing keeps the line moving during outages. Orders auto-sync the moment connection returns.
Accessibility-ready flows
High-contrast mode, large-text mode, screen-reader pairing, and lowered-height hardware options available on every station. Designed with accessibility in mind; restaurants are responsible for confirming compliance for their location.
No card data entered at the kiosk
In direct-payment configurations no card number is entered into TapKio, which can reduce card-data handling compared with traditional card-based kiosks. PCI DSS scope is determined by your overall payment setup.
NO CREDIT CARDS.
NO PROCESSOR FEES.
NO MIDDLEMAN.
Every sale moves directly from the customer's payment app to your account. Zelle is the default, but we can also add Cash App, Venmo, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Your staff is the final checkpoint — the order doesn't fire until they confirm payment received.
Customer Orders
The kiosk guides the guest through your menu. Fast, visual, high-conversion — built for the way your kitchen actually works.
Direct Payment
The kiosk displays your payment QR, the exact order total, and the order reference so the customer can send the correct amount from Zelle, Cash App, Venmo, or any supported payment app. No card, no swipe, no terminal.
Staff Confirms
Your team verifies the deposit with one tap. Kitchen ticket fires. You keep 100% of the sale — no middleman fees, ever.
BUILT AROUND ZELLE IN THE U.S.
CONFIGURED FOR LOCAL PAYMENT METHODS WORLDWIDE.
In the United States, TapKio is designed around Zelle payments. For restaurants outside the U.S., we configure the kiosk around the local payment app or instant bank-transfer method your customers already use — such as Yape, PIX, SPEI, MODO, Nequi, Bizum, ATH Móvil, and more. Same ordering experience. Same staff-confirmed workflow. Payment method adapted to your market.

REAL KITCHENS. REAL SAVINGS.
"We saved $1,640 in our first month alone. The Zelle confirmation step felt strange for a week — then we realized it's just our cashier with no register.
Marisol Vega
Owner, El Patio Taqueria
"Setup took an afternoon. Their team built our entire ramen modifier logic — broth, noodles, toppings, spice — and it works exactly like we ticket by hand.
Daichi Mori
GM, Mori Ramen House
"Three locations, one dashboard, zero processor statements to reconcile. I sleep better. My accountant sleeps better. That alone is worth it.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.
Still wondering? Our team will walk you through it in a 20-minute demo — no pressure, no sales script.
How does the customer actually pay with Zelle?+
At checkout, the kiosk displays your payment QR, the exact order total, and an order reference. The customer opens their banking or Zelle app, scans, and sends the displayed amount. Your staff then confirms the deposit before the kitchen ticket fires. (TapKio is not affiliated with or endorsed by Zelle® or Early Warning Services, LLC.)
What if a customer doesn't have Zelle?+
Most major US banks include Zelle for free inside their existing app — over 2,200 banks and credit unions. We can also add Cash App and Venmo QR flows for the guests who prefer those apps. For anyone who can't pay digitally, staff can ring the order at your existing register as a fallback.
How does staff confirm the payment?+
Your team uses a simple tablet or phone dashboard. They see the order amount, confirm the Zelle/Cash App/Venmo deposit hit, and tap to fire the kitchen ticket. Average confirmation takes under 5 seconds.
Do I really save on credit card fees?+
Yes — there are no card networks involved. Zelle, Cash App, and Venmo move money directly without a per-transaction percentage. You keep 100% of every sale.
How long does it take to launch?+
Most single-location restaurants are live within 2–3 weeks. Custom cuisines take 3–5 weeks depending on menu complexity. We handle programming, hardware prep, and on-site setup.
What about support?+
Our in-house team handles programming, tech support, and customer service. No third-party call centers. You get named contacts and a 24/7 hotline.
