Clearly it's somewhat clientele related, and how committed the company is in making it a success. I made several visits to a totally renovated Panera this winter. They now have 4 or 5 touchscreens located as you walk in the door, and every time I was there the touchscreens were heavily used, and most registers were empty. OTOH, I also made many trips to McDonalds during that timeframe, and I saw either unused, or non-functional kiosks, with signs indicating that they were out of order.
Oddly enough, the large, successful Wawa chain of convienence stores, located in the northeast and Florida, switched to 100% touchscreen ordering SIXTEEN years ago.
