> 
> **Cons**: We struggled with getting the web app to work on kiosk mode with in the building, but the Smart Barrel Kiosks work great and haven’t had any issues since day 1.
> 
> I have rolled out plenty of new platforms and systems, by far Smart Barrels support surpasses all others I have worked with.
