Don't see why not. Just make sure your app is bullet-proof and provide a switch somewhere to reset the unit. There are examples on how to replace the built-in app with your app, just google for them. If you remove access to the hardware buttons, there should be no chance of the user leaving your app except in a crash situation. Don't know if the hardware would actually run without the screen connected. On a private note: if your restaurant apps involve HACCP and you need temperature input, email me. (I'll let your address through my spam filters)
