How to Create a New Kiosk Mode Shopping in Odoo 18 Point of Sale (POS)

Functional Odoo 18

The Odoo Point of Sale (PoS) Kiosk Mode feature lets you make the interface easier to use for self-service; it's best suited for settings like restaurants, retail stores, or any other location where customers can interact with the PoS system directly without help from a salesperson or cashier. Kiosk Mode simplifies the user experience by offering a condensed menu and assisting customers with the checkout process.

To enable the Kiosk Mode, first log into your Odoo account and navigate to the Point of Sale application. Once there, navigate to the Configuration menu's Settings section. You can usually find this menu by using the program menu bar.

To enable Kiosk Mode, also known as "Kiosk Mode" or "Self-Service Mode," go to the "Mobile self-order & Kiosk" tab section inside the Settings page. Click on it to launch the kiosk interface. You may alter the layout and design elements, add new features, choose which goods or categories to display, set up payment options, and more to make the interface exactly what you need.
