Stuck ordering or paying at a kiosk?

  1. Check dine-in or takeaway, quantities and options in the basket. Before leaving the payment screen, see whether an order number was already issued.
  2. If language, card or phone-number entry blocks you, show staff the screen. Do not repeat the same order on another machine while completion is unclear.
  3. Ask whether staff ordering or another payment method is possible. Confirm ingredients and allergies with staff rather than menu photos; consult official 1330 information if you need travel interpretation help.

Ask staff to check whether payment completed and help you order without duplicating it.

Easy points to confuse

  • Missing dine-in or takeaway selection
  • Adding extras without checking price
  • Leaving before saving the order number

Practical example

Example: clear any previous customer's basket, choose language, then confirm item, options, quantity, and dine-in or takeaway. If payment is approved but no order number appears, show staff the approval instead of paying again.
