Weight Scales
You can connect a weight scale to KioskBuddy to help your customers purchase weight-based items. This is especially useful if you have a salad bar or maybe fresh produce to weigh–KioskBuddy will read the weight from the scale and add the item accordingly to the cart!
KioskBuddy supports all Star Micornics brand scales. For a list of supported scales, see this link.
