The Kiosk Guy Paradigms
The kiosk industry is big enough for all of us as long as we play fair and honestly strive to give the consumer a good value for their money.
I will not take money from a customer with no clear path to giving them a legitimate chance to meet their needs, and doing so is NOT ACCEPTABLE and NEVER WAS!
I will only provide credible sources for a solution based on: personal experience, due diligence and honest hard work.
When a kiosk project fails because of unscrupulous business practices by one party, then the entire industry is hurt and our vision to change people's lives fails.
A Best-of-Breed solution is the only way to make a kiosk project work. No off-branded, patent infringing solutions will pass through my hands to my customers.
The KioskGuys are dedicated to the OEM Kiosk Customer
