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)
