KIOSKS IN ILLINOIS

Built for the room Illinois actually has

Regulars want out in five minutes; first-timers want to read without being hovered over. Kiosks serve both: an express lane for the shoppers who know their order, and pressure-free browsing for the ones still deciding — sort, filter, and read at their own pace, which matters in a store where the products live behind glass. Checkout asks for three things — first name, last name, phone number — and the order lands in your POS.

40% higher average order value

Nobody explores add-ons while a line forms behind them. Kiosks let shoppers browse without the clock — and our recommendation engine suggests relevant products at the moments that matter. Less rush, bigger carts.

150% more loyalty sign-ups

Enrollment happens at the kiosk, mid-order, with no extra step at the counter — which is why stores see dramatically more sign-ups than on standard kiosks. Loyalty grows while the line moves.

Your brand on the glass, not ours

Kiosks are fully white-label: your colors, your logo, your voice. And checkout asks shoppers for exactly three things — first name, last name, phone number — because sixteen form fields is how you end a line-skipping express lane.

IN-STORE SCREEN RULES · ILLINOIS

What you can show on screens in Illinois

The Illinois statute defines "advertise" to include the display of window and interior signs, so in-store screens fall under the advertising section. Screen content may not be false or misleading, promote overconsumption, depict consumption, make health or therapeutic claims, show a cannabis leaf or bud, or use imagery that appeals to minors; educational messages are exempt. Giveaways, consumption games, and child-appealing promotions are prohibited, bundled one-price deals are prohibited, and suppliers may not pay for preferential placement on shelves, display cases, or the website. Prices and discounts may be displayed. Dispensaries must post the 24-by-36-inch placards required by rule, and handouts cannot replace them. No rule addresses visibility through windows, warnings on advertisements, video, or pre-approval.

Applies to: adult-use and medical dispensing organizations. Regulator: Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR).

  • Interior signs are advertising under the Act; a name-only exterior sign is excluded. “the distribution of fliers and circulars; billboard advertising; and the display of window and interior signs” (410 ILCS 705/1-10)
  • No false or misleading content, no promotion of overconsumption, and no depiction of actual consumption. (410 ILCS 705/55-20(a)(1)-(3))

  • Educational messages are exempt from the content and placement bans. (410 ILCS 705/55-20(c))
  • No giveaways of cannabis, no games or competitions tied to consumption, and no child-appealing promotional materials; no ban on advertising prices or discounts was found. “by giving away cannabis or cannabis products, by conducting games or competitions related to the consumption of cannabis or cannabis products” (410 ILCS 705/55-20(d))
  • Bundled one-price sales are prohibited; each item must be separately priced. (410 ILCS 705/15-70(p)(17))
  • Suppliers may not pay for preferential placement on shelves, display cases, or the website; screens are not mentioned. “in exchange for preferential placement on the dispensing organization’s shelves, display cases, or website” (410 ILCS 705/15-70(q))
  • Advertising may not be placed within 1,000 feet of schools, playgrounds, child care centers, parks, or libraries, or on transit and public property. (410 ILCS 705/55-20(b))
  • Required in-store placards (impairment and pregnancy warning, anonymous-purchase notice, edible notices, prohibited-activity notices) must be at least 24 by 36 inches with 2-inch letters; handouts cannot substitute. “Handouts shall not be used in place of the required signage.” (68 Ill. Adm. Code 1291.305)
  • No rule on visibility from outside, warnings on advertisements, pre-approval, fees, video or motion signs, or sign counts was found. (410 ILCS 705/55-20; 68 Ill. Adm. Code 1291)

Potency on menus: No rule found for menus or screens. Labels must state THC, THCA, CBD, and CBDA content (410 ILCS 705/55-21).

Where the rule is "keep it accurate," a menu that reads from the POS does the work: sold-out products drop off on their own and the price on the wall is the price at the register. Where the rule is about content, the layout and the campaign are yours to keep inside the lines.

Kiosks in Illinois: questions, answered

Do Illinois dispensaries use self-service kiosks?
Yes — self-service is standard equipment in modern dispensaries, the same way it is in airports and quick-service restaurants. Seed runs screens in 950+ storefronts across 36 states and D.C. Illinois caps retail licenses, so every store serves a bigger crowd — throughput is the difference between a good Friday and a line out the door.

Does a Seed kiosk work with my POS?
That’s the point of it. Kiosks populate from your live inventory through our API integrations — Dutchie, Treez, Blaze, Flowhub, COVA, and more — so shoppers only see in-stock products at the correct price, and orders land in your POS for fulfillment. See how the sync works.

Will the kiosk say Seed on it?
No — your kiosks are white-label. Your brand, your colors, your menu. Shoppers experience your store, not our logo.

Will self-service replace my budtenders?
Only as much as you want it to. Some stores run kiosks as the primary ordering channel and point staff at fulfillment; others use them as a pressure valve for rush hours. Your floor, your call — the kiosk just makes the choice available.

What does a kiosk cost?
Seed pricing is per location with unlimited screens and users — a kiosk doesn’t add a line item. Hardware runs on Elo touchscreens or iPads (2018 and newer). The full breakdown, hardware included, is in our dispensary kiosk cost guide.

How fast can my store go live?
Most stores go from signed to screens live in about a week. Book a demo — we’ll show your actual menu on a kiosk, not a mockup.
