At first glance, there is nothing unusual about BingoBox’s convenience store–shelves packed with snacks line
the walls, attracting passers-by through the glass windows. But upon closer look, BingoBox is no ordinary store.
The door unlocks only after customers scan (扫描) aQR code to enter, and there is no cashier — just a lone
checkout counter (柜台) in a corner. The Shanghai-based company is one of many unmanned store operators (运营者) opening outlets all over China, hoping to improve slim profit by reducing staff costs.
“Ifstaff costs rise quickly, that puts greater pressure on low-profit businesses like convenience stores and
supermarkets,” said Andrew Song, an analyst at Guotai Junan Securities. “InChina, manpower costs have been
rising ly quickly.”
However, the future vision of shopping without a check-out person is still a work in progress. A Post reporter
who visited a BingoBox store inShanghaiwas briefly locked in when trying to exit without buying anything.
Although a sign near the exit stated that empty-handed customers can leave by scanning a QR code, no QR code
was to be found. Repeated calls to the customer service hotline went unanswered.
The idea of unmanned stores first caught the world’s attention in December last year. Equipped with
technology such as RFID tags, mobile payment systems and facial and movement recognition, such stores collect
large amounts of data that give operators a better idea of consumer preferences and buying habits, which can
then be used to optimize (使最优化) operations and make more efficient inventory decisions. For companies like
BingoBox, lower operating costs also mean it can afford to expand its reach to areas with less foot traffic or fewer
people, according to its founder and chief executive ChenZilin.
