Built for ice cream shops
More time scooping, less time at the POS.
Self-service kiosks handle the order and the payment. QR codes turn every phone into a second kiosk, at the counter and on the terrace. Your team stays at the scoop, the queue moves, the revenue per hour climbs.

Why ice cream is different
Peak days double the queue, not the staff.
When the line stretches around the block, every minute at the POS is a minute the queue stops moving. The team you hired to scoop ice cream is taking orders, taking payments, and reading back toppings—while the freezer stays open and the cones get soft.
Butlaroo moves ordering and payment off the counter. Self-service kiosks take the order and the payment. QR codes on every counter, table and pavement sign turn every guest's phone into an extra ordering point. Tickets land at the scoop station ready to make. The team keeps scooping, the queue keeps moving, and revenue per hour climbs without adding staff.
Three things change when an ice cream shop runs on Butlaroo.
- 01
Self-service kiosks scoop up the queue.
One, two, four kiosks at the front of the shop. Guests pick their flavours, pay by card or phone, and the ticket lands at the scoop station with the cone, the scoops and the toppings already sorted. Your scoopers stop being cashiers. Throughput climbs, revenue per hour climbs, and peak afternoons stop being a staffing crisis.

Every phone is a second kiosk.
A QR on the counter, the menu board and the pavement sign opens the same ordering flow as the kiosk, with no app to install. Guests order from the back of the queue while they wait, pick a pickup time, and walk straight up to collect. Peak hours absorb a wave of overflow without a single new device.

Terrace tables order without standing up.
One QR per table on the terrace. Round two, an extra scoop, an affogato after dinner, all ordered from the chair and brought out by a runner. Guests stay seated and keep ordering, the average ticket lifts, and the floor team stops walking laps to the counter.

What you'll roll out on day one.
Four pieces of the platform that do the heavy lifting in an ice cream shop: kiosks at the front, QR on every counter and table, payments across all of it, and a kitchen display at the scoop station that paces the tickets.

From a counter-service venue running on Butlaroo
“I no longer waste any time taking orders and handling payments, allowing me to focus entirely on the most important thing: maximizing revenue during peak demand.”
Everything we offer.
Same platform, every channel: kiosk, QR, POS, click & collect, kitchen display, payments, loyalty and the AI menu on top.
Questions ice cream operators ask.
How long does rollout take in an ice cream shop?
Most shops are live on Butlaroo in two to four weeks. We start with the menu and one channel, usually a single kiosk or the counter QR, stabilise it on a weekend service, then add the rest of the kiosks and the terrace QR. No onboarding fee.
How many kiosks do we need?
One kiosk replaces roughly one cashier shift at peak. Most ice cream shops start with two kiosks at the front and add a third before summer. Butlaroo runs on any kiosk shell, including a tablet on a stand, so you can scale up for the season without buying new hardware for the winter.
Do guests need an app to use the QR?
No. The QR opens the menu in the phone's browser, in the guest's language. No app, no account, no install. Pay with card, Apple Pay or Google Pay and the ticket lands at the scoop station the moment the basket closes.
What happens in the off-season?
Butlaroo bills monthly with no long-term lock-in. Pause channels you don't run in winter, scale back to a single kiosk and the counter, and ramp up again in spring. The menu, the loyalty list and the analytics stay where you left them.
Do we keep our existing POS and card terminal?
Usually yes. Butlaroo runs on any tablet, mini-PC or kiosk shell, and integrates with the leading card terminals (Adyen, Stripe, SumUp and twenty more). If you want one terminal across kiosks, QR and the counter, Butlaroo Pay replaces the lot.
