Introduced at the “Smartphone cash register” supermarket, avoiding “3 denseness” Avoiding June 14th 17:33
Since the problem of eliminating so-called "3 denseness" is a problem in preventing the infection of the new coronavirus, if the shopper reads the barcode of the product with a smartphone at a supermarket etc., the payment can be done without lining up at the cash register The introduction is expanding.
Kasumi, a food supermarket in the Tokyo metropolitan area, plans to introduce smartphone registrations at 18 stores in Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba, and Ibaraki later this month. The shopper puts a dedicated app on his smartphone, scans the bar code of the product, and makes a payment so that payment can be made in line at the cash register.
Originally, we were considering introducing the new coronavirus before the spread of the infection, but we decided to urgently introduce the new coronavirus because shoppers' interest in avoiding so-called "3 denseness" at supermarkets is increasing.
Smartphone registers were manufactured by multiple manufacturers, and only one company had a product from a manufacturer in Ota-ku, Tokyo until last month, but since this month, it has been decided to install it in more than 10 food supermarkets.
Takanori Nakui, Chief of the Retail Business Department of Teraoka Seiko, said, “You can shorten the waiting time for cashiers and bagging by using my bag after shopping on a smartphone. I want to continue."
