At the Retail Technology Show 2026 (22 – 23 April, Excel, London), international POS hardware solutions provider Star Micronics will be demonstrating its full range of integrated hardware and Cloud Services with key software partners. In addition, Star will be showcasing its open frame and packaged kiosk printing solutions in a variety of kiosks for QSR, checkout, in-store ordering and queue management with established kiosk partners on Stand N52.
With a sharp focus on offering mPOS and Cloud POS solutions for multichannel retail, Star excels in providing receipt and order printers through to Cloud labelling and new mobile wireless cash drawers.
Star’s key strength lies in its ability to offer complete and scalable retail and foodservice solutions across all operating platforms. As such, the manufacturer will be exhibiting a range of applications for large-scale multi-store deployments as well as new Cloud-based device management via its StarIO.Online service. This service offers enhanced connectivity for Cloud-based retail and hospitality software along with direct-from-web printing, while reducing infrastructure complexity for software providers.
For tablet-driven POS environments, Star will be adding to its mPOS hardware range with the new mC-Connect™ Drawer. This connectivity hub combines Ethernet, USB, wireless LAN and Bluetooth® LE in one device, delivering true flexibility for retail cash drawer deployments. The hub successfully combines traditional cash management with a modern retail infrastructure, while allowing retailers to update systems without the need to replace existing equipment.
Thanks to its broad experience working with hospitality operators globally, Star will be presenting a range of QSR and foodservice solutions encompassing order printing, scanning and linerless labelling for food preparation and food safety labelling. By incorporating such solutions, operators can effectively streamline food preparation processes through to collection and delivery.
In line with the rise in omnichannel collections and deliveries, order accuracy is essential. As such, Star will be launching a range of weighing scales which, integrated with Star scanners and label printers, provide a complete end-to-end solution in partnership with Star software partners.
Working with specialist software providers, touchscreen manufacturers, payment companies and kiosk integrators, Star holds a leading position within the kiosk and self-service printer sector. Its comprehensive range of open frame and packaged printers has been designed for use in retail and hospitality applications through to ticketing and smart lockers. With kiosk partners, Star will be demonstrating a variety of complete self-service applications for in-store e-commerce, QSR ordering and queue management.
Mark Lloyd, Director & General Manager, Star Micronics EMEA, states: “Star’s leading position in mPOS and Cloud POS solutions for multichannel retail, as well as self-service and self-checkout printing solutions, is reflected in an ever-widening portfolio of advanced technology and complementary services. These allow retailers and hospitality operators to successfully address expansion of omnichannel store technology and flexibly respond to changing consumer demand.”
