The 'Cheese' kiosk at Epcot's Food and Wine Festival has introduced a self service order kiosk similar to those found at some of Disney's counter service restaurants.
For guests paying by credit card or Disney Dining Plan, the kiosk can be used to select items from the menu, a quantity, and payment method - which then bypasses the register. Once ordered, the guest can proceed to the pickup window. We have some photos of the kiosk and screens below. So far, this appears to be limited to just this one kiosk.
The regular cast member operated register remains as an option for those who prefer that system, or wish to pay in cash or gift card.

BTW, ahead of me at Hops & Barley Market, two guys were refused service.
Were they falling down drunk? Not at all, seemed like they'd had one or two at most--which is unlike many other staggering guests I saw.
The problem was their T-shirt. On the front it read "Man v. Food" in block letters, with "& Beer" in italics across the bottom. (Tried to snap a pic, but no flash on my phone.) The cashiers told them booze can't be sold to anyone with a reference to alcohol on their clothing. I left before the problem was resolved--waited 20 minutes for a beer, I was going to drink it--but I found this a crazy rule. Has anyone else seen it enforced?
I find this somewhat interesting since all you ever see around WS is Team DATW shirts or other variants of that nature. They don't spell out beer but they certainly imply alcohol. Maybe this is something they do specifically at F&W.
BTW. I've never been refused a beer or drink at F&W and I wear my beer festival/event shirts all the time. Obviously it could have been something else that caused the refusal.
