Self-Checkout

Providing customers with a self-service cash register is a trend that seems to be gaining ground.

The reasons are clear:

One staff member is sufficient to assist customers at about 4 to 6 checkouts simultaneously.

Because more tills can be operated at the same time with lower staff costs, the return on investment is much higher.

Customers also appreciate the trust that the shop brand places in them and are more likely to sign up for the loyalty programme themselves.

It encourages customers to pay electronically, virtually eliminating cash, with numerous advantages in terms of security.

Small supermarkets and convenience stores can also be run in this way with a limited number of people. The investment pays for itself very quickly.
