Lumos Kiosk
Elevate your lobby with intuitive, modern self-service.
Lumos Kiosk transforms your lobby with a modern user interface that looks as good as it performs. Designed specifically for cinemas, it empowers guests to complete transactions independently while helping reduce queues, improve operational efficiency, and giving guests greater control over their visit from the moment they enter.
- Convenience that guests expect. Lumos Kiosk combines modern kiosk design with intuitive self-service journeys to give moviegoers speed, convenience, and greater control over their cinema visit. Guests can purchase tickets, food and beverage, redeem loyalty rewards, and more on their own terms. With intuitive, cinema-focused transaction flows, guests move through the foyer faster and spend less time waiting in line.
- Increase transaction value. Make it easier for guests to discover and purchase products throughout their visit. Whether deployed as a dedicated food and beverage kiosk or a full-service self-service solution, Lumos Kiosk helps cinemas increase transaction opportunities by providing convenient access to concessions, deals-based offers, and other guest purchases without requiring guests to join a queue.
- Reduce queues and operational pressure. By shifting common transactions to self-service, Lumos Kiosk helps reduce congestion at traditional box office and concession locations. Guests can complete purchases independently while staff focus on higher-value interactions, helping cinemas improve service levels during peak trading periods without compromising the guest experience.
- Deliver a connected cinema experience. As part of the wider Lumos ecosystem, Lumos Kiosk works alongside your web, mobile, loyalty, and food and beverage experiences to create a consistent experience across every guest touchpoint. This means your digital channels work as a connected ecosystem rather than separate products, with branding, promotions, loyalty experiences, and many configuration settings managed consistently across channels while still allowing each experience to be tailored where needed. Whether guests start their journey online or in the foyer, they'll benefit from a seamless experience, with access to the same offers, account functionality, payment options, and self-service capabilities throughout their visit.
