White Castle Partners with Automated Retail Technologies on a New Kiosk

The historic quick-service restaurant chain White Castle has established a new point of sale within Boston Logan International Airport through a partnership with Automated Retail Technologies. This convenience-focused installation is positioned at Boston Logan International, Terminal A.

White Castle's self-service kiosk delivers heated menu items to travelers efficiently. The available selection includes the chain’s iconic 100% beef Original Slider® and Classic Cheese Sliders, the all-new Cheddar Bacon Cheese Slider, and the Chicken & Cheese Slider.
