CHICAGO – May 18, 2019 – Elo, a leading global supplier of interactive technology solutions, today announced their robust Android–powered self–service, kitchen display and POS terminal solutions are to be showcased at the 2019 Restaurant Show in Chicago. Elo's Android–based solutions help restaurants worldwide modernize and align each touchpoint to enhance the customer experience, while simplifying deployment, management and security of in–store systems.

Our explosive growth in Elo Android–based device shipments over the past four years is indicative of our leadership in Android. Through this expertise, Elo allows customers to create a secure and curated experience with touchpoint configuration freedom, mix–and–match systems, and homogeneous environment manageability.
