Delicatessen stores: Self checkout for an exclusive shopping experience without waiting times

Feinkost stands for top quality, regional specialities and personal advice.

At the same time, customers want a fast, modern payment method during peak hours. The BEEP! Scan and Go app meets exactly this expectation: Self Checkout, which matches the elegant atmosphere and reduces fear of contact. There is a concrete effect where snakes arise, for example on Saturday between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Exclusivity meets efficiency

Self checkout remains personal. When guests scan their products on the shelf and pay on the go, your team gains valuable time for advice, tasting and recommendations. Retail spaces remain flexible as no additional cash registers are being set up. In practice, this means more freedom of movement on small floor plans, such as in delicatess boutiques in Düsseldorf Carlstadt, Munich Altstadt or Hamburg Eppendorf.

How to successfully implement it in your delicatessen

1. Entire store in pilot mode
   Start in all departments, from cheese counters to gift items. As a result, you get reliable insights into shopping carts, peak times and preferred payment methods, instead of just selective impressions from a test zone.
2. Team workshops on site
   Short, practical training sessions of up to 30 minutes per team are sufficient. Practice typical situations such as scanning packaged goods, using vouchers, and discreet checkout assistance.
3. POS communication in style
   Place discreet QR Code displays on counters and shelves. Complete them with clear instructions such as “Scan, Pay, Enjoy.” In this way, digital elements blend harmoniously into your ambiance without being obtrusive.
4. Get feedback directly from the store
   Ask customers for an assessment of the process shortly after they have made a purchase. Write down suggestions and prioritize improvements on a weekly basis. This ongoing optimization keeps the service noticeably close to demand.
5. Rollout to other locations
   Quickly transfer your experience from your main business to branches or pop-up events. Thanks to streamlined technology, no long lead times are required. A pilot period of 14 days per location has proven to be a workable framework.

Benefits for deli stores
Saving time for advice
Employees are focusing more on recommendations, food pairings and wine advice.

Higher revenue potential
Less waiting time increases readiness for takeaway items such as chocolates, pesto or olive oil in gift packaging. A targeted incentive such as a 5 percent discount for app payments on quiet weekdays measurably increases the usage rate.

Brand enhancement
Digital checkout as a service addition underlines the innovative power of your brand and goes well with high-quality assortments such as truffles, raw milk cheese or natural wine.

Scale quickly
New promotions, seasonal baskets and limited editions can be displayed immediately, without additional cash registers or modifications.
