What counts as unattended
An unattended terminal completes a sale with no staff present. You see them in vending machines, EV chargers, parking lots, laundromats, car washes, lockers and self-serve kiosks. The customer taps or inserts a card and the machine does the rest.
Why operators love them
Unattended payments run around the clock, so you earn outside staffed hours. They cut labour cost, remove cash handling, and capture impulse purchases. For many operators, going cashless with a kiosk also reduces theft and reconciliation headaches.
What to look for in the hardware
Choose terminals rated for their environment, outdoor units need weather and vandal resistance, with reliable connectivity and contactless. Devices like the Dejavoo UPT and Castles UPT1000F are built for unattended use. See options on in-person payments.
