Explanation

A thin client is a low-powered, low-cost device designed to run applications and browsing through a server or the cloud rather than local processing. Since the café only needs basic web browsing, thin clients are ideal - they are inexpensive, easy to manage centrally, consume less power, and have no need for high-end hardware. A thick client, gaming PC, or media PC would all be unnecessarily powerful and expensive for this use case.
