Slocat Mart.
The kitchen + retail POS the big chains built in-house. Finally, for the rest of us.
Self-order kiosk, kitchen display, customer status board, and cashier tablet — engineered specifically for independent c-stores with in-house kitchens.
The kitchen + retail POS the big chains built in-house. Finally, for the rest of us.
Self-order kiosk, kitchen display, customer status board, and cashier tablet — engineered specifically for independent c-stores with in-house kitchens.
Sheetz, Wawa, RaceTrac, Casey's — every regional chain built integrated self-order kiosks, kitchen displays, and customer status boards in-house. None of them sell that stack to anyone else.
Several restaurant-POS vendors offer hybrid food-plus-retail products, and they work well for chef-owned markets, bottle shops, and curated grocers. None of them have published case studies of deployments at fuel-integrated convenience stores with in-house kitchens — the kind of store with a gas pump out front and a fried-chicken case in back.
A market that's been overlooked. Not anymore.
Everything talks to itself. The customer scans a Snickers into the same cart as a sausage biscuit and pays once. Beer scans route to the counter for ID. The cook sees the ticket the second payment clears. Status board updates when the cook hits "ready."
22" touchscreen with USB barcode scanner. Kitchen menu + scannable store inventory in one cart. Tap-to-pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or counter handoff.
Wall-mounted screen for the cook. Tickets in arrival order, tap to advance through New → In Progress → Ready. Color-aged so stale tickets don't go quiet.
32–43" TV behind the counter. "In Progress" / "Ready" columns with order numbers. Customers know when their food is up without asking.
Counter handoffs for cash + card customers. Age-restricted scans land here for ID verification — cashier taps "21+ Confirmed," beer joins the cart.
Your Stripe account, your money, never ours. EMV chip, contactless, Apple Pay, Google Pay. No card data ever touches Slocat servers.
Mini-PC controller in the back office runs everything on your LAN. When the internet drops, ordering keeps working. Tailscale gets us in for remote support.
Model A is one-time and you never pay Slocat again. Model B is hardware at cost plus a monthly subscription — lower upfront, predictable monthly. Same product. Both come with the same first 5 hours of support free; after that, $200/hr per call.
Includes kiosk + cashier tablet + KDS + customer status board + back-office controller + install.
Everything in 1 Kiosk plus a second kiosk for busier stores. 3-year contract on Model B.
Card processing costs will go up vs. cash and your existing register — that's the price of giving customers a self-order option at all. The good news: Stripe pass-through is one of the lower-cost paths to accept cards in person, and most operators make more in throughput than they spend in fees.
For an equivalent kitchen + retail kiosk system, here's how Slocat Mart stacks up against the restaurant-POS comparable. The figures below use the published public pricing for the components both products have in common (POS + Kiosk + KDS hardware/software + standard onboarding). The other vendor's full bundle adds quote-only modules on top.
Open these on your phone if you can — the demo is touch-first.
Try the actual ordering experience. Browse the menu, add modifiers, scan a "store item," check out with Apple/Google Pay. No setup, no signup.
See what the cook sees. Three-column board, tap-to-advance, color-aged tickets. Open in a second tab alongside the kiosk and watch orders flow through.
The whole product in two pages — product, pricing, competitive comparison, processing math. PDF, print-ready. Email it, hand it to a partner, whatever you need.
