I'll give this a try. The only thing Andy had to do was to turn accessibility mode on. After that, I was able to navigate the menu, Deciddecide what I wanted to order, and even pay our bill independently. The kiosk used talk back which is similar to voice view for android devices. The kiosk also had a very thorough tutorial on how to navigate the screen using talk back. There was even a place were you can insert your credit card. And you got verbal indication that your credit card was excepted. I certainly hope that I am counter accessible kiosks in more restaurants in the future.
