self-service kiosk
Unmanned checkout station
A self-service kiosk is an interactive terminal where customers complete transactions without staff assistance—checking in for flights, ordering food, paying bills, or retrieving tickets.
The machines combine touchscreens with card readers and receipt printers: I used the self-service kiosk to avoid the line at the counter.
They're ubiquitous in airports, fast-food restaurants, and retail stores.
