Square launches AI-powered kiosk for orders at $1,999 with monthly fee
Square introduced the Square Kiosk, a large pill-shaped touchscreen device with an AI-powered conversational agent. The kiosk uses voice recognition to let customers order naturally, ask questions, and modify requests in real time. It also detects presence and supports contactless payments via built-in readers.
Key points
- Square Kiosk costs $1,999 upfront plus $99 monthly software fee per device
- Voice-enabled AI orders food/drinks and handles modifications in real time
- Requires Square Plus or Premium subscription and detects customer presence
The device costs $1,999 upfront and requires a Square Plus or Premium subscription. A $99 monthly software fee per kiosk applies, and it is available immediately for businesses meeting those criteria. Square claims the AI agent understands menus and responds dynamically, though no benchmarks or third-party validation are provided.
