Lumina turns any iPad into a self-ordering kiosk for restaurants that run on Square. Your guests browse your menu, customize their order, and pay right at the counter — while you run the whole thing from your phone. You bring the good food and the good vibes; Lumina takes care of the ordering. This page introduces the two apps at Lumina’s core and points you to the right place to get started.

​
The two Lumina apps

Lumina is made up of two apps that work together. You use one; your guests use the other.

Remy

RemyThe operator app for your smartphone. Use Remy to create and manage kiosk profiles, configure welcome screens and checkout settings, and monitor your kiosks — all without touching the iPad.

Lumina Kiosk

Lumina KioskThe guest-facing iPad app. Lumina Kiosk displays your menu, guides guests through customization and checkout, and processes payment through Square.
Both apps are linked to the same Square account. Changes you make in Remy take effect on the kiosk automatically — you never have to update the two apps separately.

​
How Lumina works

Lumina keeps things simple by letting each piece do what it does best: Square holds your menu and data, Remy holds your setup, and the Lumina Kiosk looks after your guests. 1. Connect Square Lumina pulls your menu items, modifiers, and prices directly from Square. Square is always the source of truth — if you update a price or add an item in Square, it reflects on your kiosk automatically. You never enter menu data twice. 2. Build a kiosk profile in Remy A profile is a bundle of settings that controls how a single kiosk behaves. Each profile includes:
  • The Square menu (or subset of it) to display
  • A welcome screen with your branding
  • Checkout settings such as tip prompts and receipt options
  • A security PIN to lock the kiosk into guest mode
You can create multiple profiles — for example, a breakfast profile and a dinner profile — and switch between them from Remy at any time. 3. Launch the Lumina Kiosk app on an iPad Open the Lumina Kiosk app, sign in, and apply the profile you created in Remy. The iPad displays your branded welcome screen and is ready when your guests are. Payments flow through Square, so orders appear in your Square Dashboard and reports just like any other transaction.
Keep your iPad plugged into power and mounted in a fixed position. The Lumina Kiosk app is designed to run continuously without sleep — make sure your iPad’s Auto-Lock is turned off before you go live.
