Panasonic Connect North America, a subsidiary of Japanese electronics giant Panasonic, is set to launch the Stingray JS9900 kiosk series and JS988 point-of-sale (POS) terminals.

The two new solutions aim to drive efficiencies across fast casual and quick-serve restaurants by streamlining the ordering process and personalising customer touchpoints.

The Stingray JS988 POS Terminal has a compact and lightweight design that allows for easy mobility and interaction.

Equipped with the latest Intel processors, the terminal offers fast and efficient performance.

It is customisable with a range of peripherals such as a camera, customer-facing display and a biometric magnetic stripe reader for an enhanced purchase experience.

The Stingray JS9900 Kiosk Series can be configured in more than 750 combinations, with its flexible mounting options and variety of screen sizes.

Its modular design allows for easy placement and future-proofs against store layout changes.

The kiosk can handle tasks ranging from wayfinding and self-ordering to POS functions and dynamic content display, all while meeting the demands of a fast-paced environment.

The two solutions optimise workflows and promote data-driven processes.

The Stingray series enables consumers to take charge of their ordering or check-in processes through interactive solutions.

Panasonic Connect North America senior director James (Jay) Burdette said: “Our newest retail and restaurant solutions are built to empower businesses to create interactive experiences that exceed consumer expectations.

“Businesses need to balance sleek performance with rugged reliability – and that’s where the JS988 and JS9900 come in. Amidst ongoing staffing challenges and the strong desire for better digital experiences, our new kiosks and POS terminals make the in-store experience more efficient for both employees and patrons – and help bring popular establishments into the digital future.”
