In the [[Western hemisphere]] and in [[English language|English]]-speaking countries, a ''kiosk'' is also a booth with an open window on one side. Some vendors operate from kiosks (see [[mall kiosk]]), selling small, inexpensive consumables such as [[newspaper]]s, [[magazine]]s, [[lighter]]s, street [[map]]s, [[cigarette]]s, live and frozen [[fishing bait]] and [[confection]]s.

In Australia, the word is commonly used for small buildings that are used to dispense mainly [[take-away]] food and drinks, on beaches, in shopping arcades or in parks. Since the 21st century, many of these have been upgraded and serve fancier food and [[barista]]-made coffee.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pmhc.nsw.gov.au/About-Us/What-Were-Up-To/Major-projects/Town-Beach-Marine-Rescue-and-Kiosk|website=Port Macquarie-Hastings Council|title=Town Beach Marine Rescue and Kiosk|date=9 July 2019|access-date=15 August 2019|archive-date=15 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190815010412/https://www.pmhc.nsw.gov.au/About-Us/What-Were-Up-To/Major-projects/Town-Beach-Marine-Rescue-and-Kiosk|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.beachhouseavalon.com.au/|website=Beach house|title=kiosk/cafe & bar/event space|access-date=15 August 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|publisher=InDaily|url=https://citymag.indaily.com.au/habits/plate-and-cup/loch-quay-rymill-park/|title=A new take on Adelaide's old kiosk-by-the-lake: Loch & Quay is open for summer|date=6 December 2018|first=Josh|last= Fanning|others=Photos: Andrè Castellucci|access-date=15 August 2019}}</ref>

An information kiosk (or information booth) dispenses free information in the form of maps, [[pamphlet]]s, and other literature, and/or advice offered by an attendant.
