Itsepalvelukäyttöliittymä, often translated as self-service interface or self-service kiosk, refers to a technology that allows customers to perform tasks and access services without direct human assistance. These interfaces are commonly found in various settings, including retail, banking, transportation, and public services. The primary goal of an itsepalvelukäyttöliittymä is to enhance efficiency, reduce operational costs, and provide customers with greater control and convenience.

These systems typically involve a touchscreen or physical buttons that guide users through a series of options and processes. Examples include ticket vending machines at train stations, automated checkouts in supermarkets, ATMs in banks, and self-service check-in kiosks at airports. They can be used for a wide range of functions such as making payments, purchasing goods or services, booking appointments, printing documents, or obtaining information.

While offering numerous benefits, the implementation of self-service technology also raises considerations regarding digital inclusion and the potential impact on employment.
