McDonald's Introduces Cash-Handling Kiosks in Select U.S. Locations

The new kiosks aim to reduce reliance on human cashiers by accepting cash and giving change, streamlining the ordering process.

McDonald's is testing digital kiosks that accept both cash and card payments, allowing customers to bypass traditional registers.
The new system is designed to improve speed and accuracy, meeting the growing demand for digital ordering options.
Less than 2% of U.S. franchisees have adopted the new kiosks so far, with no timeline for a wider rollout.
Cashiers at these locations will be reassigned to roles like curbside pickup and table service, rather than being eliminated.
Digital orders, including those from kiosks and mobile apps, accounted for over 40% of McDonald's sales in top markets last year.
