Client terminal features
On the client terminals, SiteCafe requires the SiteKiosk software application (see the SiteKiosk information). This ensures that the machines will be protected and can fully utilize all of the features SiteKiosk has to offer, such as:

Credit management
User accounts can be created for customers so the credits that they purchase will be recorded and tracked on heir individual accounts.
This feature allows users to use the remaining credit at a later time or to add more credits, providing the possibility for repeat business.

Customization
The SiteCafe Start Page is based on standardized web languages (HTML, Java script, XML) and utilizes the SiteKiosk Object Model. With these tools, a web developer can re-design and re-tool the SiteCafe Manager application to conform to your business needs.

User statistics
According to a law called Act 155, which was passed in Italy in 2005, special provisions apply for the use of the Internet. Operators of public access Internet terminals are obliged to gather personal data from every user and to register and store this information with a separate register (Registro per la registrazione degli accessi ad internet).
Now, SiteCafe makes it easy to comply with these legal requirements applicable in Italy. The button "User Login Stats" creates a mandatory register of Internet users and enables you to store and print this information via the Export function.
