# Self-checkout Registers Helps Japan Convenience Store Solve Labor Shortage

Self-checkout Registers Help Japan Convenience Store Solve Labor Shortage

 

It is well known that Japan faces an extremely ageing population, which drives convenience stores to introduce Self-checkout Registers to address labour shortages and provide more intimate services.

 

It was reported that 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, Lawson, and other convenience stores plan to deploy self-checkout registers at their stores across the country by 2025. Customers can self-select items, make purchases by scanning them with barcode readers inside the Self-checkout Register, and then complete transactions by themself. The whole process can be done without a cashier.

 

Why do those famous Japanese convenience stores all favour self-checkout registers? How can self-checkout registers help convenience stores solve labor shortages? To figure out those problems, we can start with the benefits of the Self-checkout Register. Take the Telpo Self-checkout Register K10 as a reference.

 

First, the Self-checkout Register is good to solve labor shortage as it can support 24-hour working and alleviate the workload of staff. Integrating the 3D structure camera, barcode scanner, NFC module, and in-built printer, the Self-checkout Register allows the customer to make self-service checkout in a contactless and automated way.

That means customers can self-scan the product commodity code, choose the payment method (QR code payment, NFC card payment, or face payment) after confirming the order, and print the receipt once the transaction is done. For the elderly and children who might have no idea how to use it, the standby staff can help them, which will enhance customer loyalty and improve the convenience store’s image.

 

Second, the Self-checkout Register is conducive to elevating the conveniencestore style and customer experience. The convenience stores generally come with smaller checkout counters, thus it requires a register with mini size but powerful functions. Telpo K10 with a 15.6-inch display, 5.5kg easy-to-move weight, and flexible installation methods (check-out desk, desk-stand,wall-mounting) is a good choice. It is convenient for customer use and makes the convenience store look tidier and more beautiful.

 

Last but not least, the eye-catching Self-checkout Registers benefit revenue to improve and marketing optimisation. It allows staff to be free from repetitive settlement work and enables them to spend more time on making cooked food, which accounts for 50% of convenience store sales. Besides, the convenience store can display promotional activity, product information, and advertising without adding extra input and cost on the screen of the Self-checkout Register.

 

Moreover, convenience stores can accurately grasp customers’ consumption preferences and utilise customer consumption data to make scientific and reasonable commodity forecasts and inventory management.

 

To sum up, the Self-checkout Registers not only reduce the workload of staff at convenience stores, elevate convenience store service, satisfy customers’ demand towards contactless payment, but also improve convenience store revenue and marketing.
