In addition to the Kiosk self-ordering system, Odoo offers two further self-ordering choices. These choices are available in the Settings window's "Mobile self order & kiosk" tab's "Self Ordering" field. Settings like Preview Web Interface, Home Buttons, Print QR Codes, Download QR Codes, Payment Methods, Free Metal/Wood Stands, Available Interface Language and Default Languages can then be altered.
Odoo's "QR Menu" feature, which simplifies the customer experience by allowing consumers to browse menus and place orders directly on their mobile devices, would be advantageous for establishments like cafés and restaurants who wish to reduce manual participation.
When the self-ordering system's "QR Menu" option is chosen, Odoo will show links to "Print QR Codes" and "Download QR Codes," which may be used to set up QR codes for the self-ordering Kiosk interface.
The "Download QR Codes" button will immediately download the required quantity of QR codes based on the number of tables and floors in your restaurant. Click the "Print QR Codes" option to print the QR codes. Odoo will download the codes into your system based on the number of tables in your restaurant session, as indicated below.
These QR codes can then be strategically positioned throughout a restaurant so that patrons can scan them with their cellphones. This directs users to an online menu where they may browse, customize their meals, and place orders directly from their phones. This speeds up the ordering process and reduces staff labor, allowing them to focus on other service areas.
Click the "Payment Methods" link and select or create payment methods from the dashboard window to manage and create the payment ways for the Kiosk shopping session.
Click the "New" button and change the payment method name in the "Method" section to establish a new payment method. Next, depending on the payment method, activate the "Online Payment" and "Identify Customer" fields.
For a more thorough setup of the payment method, you can also select the Journal, Intermediary Account, and Integration settings. The Point of Sale Settings portion of this book is a detailed description of how to create a new payment option.
Splash Screens are pop-up notifications in Odoo's POS module that enhance productivity and communication by offering order summaries, promotions, payment alerts, or customer instructions.

You can access your device's storage by clicking the "Add images" button. The necessary image can be selected and added as a kiosk splash screen.
Using the "Add images" button, you can simply remove the old photographs and replace them with new ones in order to manage and delete them. After that, you can use the "Upload your file" link found under the "Customize Headers" option to create a brand image for the Kiosk shop.
You can modify the Default and Available languages under the "Language" settings to see the contents of the kiosk web interface in various languages. You can use the "Add Languages" button to add new languages from the Odoo database to the PoS web interface.
You may view the available languages using the web interface after setting up the languages settings. To improve clarity, you can personalize the online content by choosing your chosen language from the available options. Customers can use the "Order Now" button to pick items and tables and place orders during active sessions once all settings have been saved. After that, the order will appear in the relevant session.
