Self Station: The Future of Restaurant Checkout

Discover how Self Station transforms restaurant checkout with self-service payment kiosks. Customers can dine in, pay, and exit on their own terms—reducing wait times and freeing up your staff.

What is Self Station?

Self Station is SciPOS's dedicated self-checkout kiosk for dine-in restaurants. Placed near the exit, it allows customers to pay their bill independently—no waiting for a server to bring the check. With two simple options on the welcome screen ("Dine In" to check in for a table, "Pay & Exit" to settle the bill), Self Station streamlines the entire dining experience from start to finish.

How Pay & Exit Works

When customers are ready to leave, they simply approach the Self Station kiosk and tap "Pay & Exit." They scan their table's session code (printed on their check-in receipt) or enter it manually. The kiosk displays their complete order with itemized pricing. For groups, the advanced split bill feature lets each person pay their share—either equal splits or item-by-item assignment. Payment is processed through integrated SumUp or NETS terminals, and a receipt is printed or sent digitally via QR code.

Benefits for Your Restaurant

Self Station transforms the checkout experience for both customers and staff. Customers appreciate the control—no more waiting 10 minutes for a server to run their card. Staff can focus on hospitality rather than payment processing. Table turnover improves by 15-25% because there's no bottleneck at checkout. And with built-in split bill functionality, group dining (often the most time-consuming checkout scenario) becomes effortless.
