Redeployment of cashiers
Deploying cashiers often poses a dilemma on supermarkets. In the peak period of customer flow, they need to hire additional cashiers, which means they have to spend more on employment and training. However, in the off-season, too many cashiers will be in redundancy. Self-checkout machines are good for redeployment. According to the survey, an average of 3 self-service cash registers can save 1 employee. Additionally, one cashier can monitor 4 to 6 self-checkout machines at the same time. Introduction of self-service machines helps a single store save more than 200,000 yuan of cost for cashier management every year.
In addition to saving costs for supermarkets, self-checkout machines improve shopping experience of customers by offering them more control, more convenience and a speedier checkout option.

Only on a Telpo K7 Self-service machine, customers can complete the process of commodity settlement, payment and receipt printing by themselves.
