3 terms

managed services technical

"Extended managed services for the entire restaurant IT ecosystem ensure the highest touchpoint"

Managed services are when a business hires an outside provider to run and maintain a specific ongoing function—commonly IT, cybersecurity, networks, or back-office tasks—under a contract that includes monitoring, updates and problem resolution. For investors this matters because it creates predictable costs and recurring revenue for the provider while reducing operational risk and capital spending for the client, much like hiring a building superintendent to keep systems running so management can focus on growth.

self-service kiosk technical

"including Diebold Nixdorf's self-service kiosk and checkout solutions, as well as third-party"

A self-service kiosk is an automated, standalone terminal that lets customers complete tasks—like placing orders, checking in, buying tickets or paying bills—without staff help. Think of it as an ATM or vending machine for commercial services; it can speed transactions, reduce labor costs, increase sales through upsells, and collect usage data, so investors watch kiosks as a sign of potential cost savings, revenue growth and operational scalability.

pos software technical

"Second-level helpdesk support for Autogrill's POS software, providing troubleshooting and"

Point-of-sale (POS) software is the digital system businesses use to complete sales, track inventory, process payments and record customer data — think of a modern cash register combined with a store ledger and customer list in one app. Investors care because POS systems shape how quickly and reliably a company makes money, manage costs through inventory and labor efficiency, and generate data that can reveal sales trends, customer behavior and opportunities for growth or risk.
