In what ways can a dual mode POS (cashier + self-order kiosk) help capture more orders during rush?

A dual mode POS that runs as both a staffed register and a self-order kiosk opens extra capacity when you need it most. The kiosk catches quick orders and upsells on screen while the cashier handles complex requests and hospitality. Lines shrink, accuracy improves, and you ring up more tickets during every rush.
