According to Japan's Tokyo Frontline/J-CAST, many Japanese tourism and catering companies are stimulating the economy with the help of the "go-tourism" and "GoToEat" activities promoted by the Japanese government, and are also launching a variety of promotional activities to strive for more business opportunities.
The most effective way to prevent epidemics for customers is to achieve "no contact" with others. In some restaurants and hotels in Japan, the store has been avoided from contact with this service to the extreme.
First Kitchen Company pilots the "contactless touch screen" self-service cash register
■In the hamburger chain First Kitchen store, order food without touch screen
Headquartered in Tokyo City hamburger fast food restaurant First Kitchen announced on October 13 that in the hamburger chain Wendy hamburger store it operates, in order to avoid contact with people and prevent the spread of the virus, self-service checkout has begun trial operation in some stores.
First Kitchen has already introduced a touch screen self-service cash register in the store in order to reduce the contact between clerks and customers. This time, a new "contactless touch screen" has been introduced and has been tried at the Wendy Hamburg Shimokitazawa store in Setagaya District, Tokyo.
contactless touch screen is the "ATEMSAirSensor 『W" system developed by PLANET, Inc. The user does not need to touch it. As long as the finger approaches the screen, the sensor will react to operate the screen.
self-service cash register can also use prepayment cards, credit cards, IC cards, etc. By installing a contactless screen, contactless, non-face-to-face cashless service is perfectly realized from ordering to settlement.
■Japanese sushi chain stores have hidden sushi introduced completely contactless service
Checkout method without contacting clerks or touching the screen
In Japan's large chain stores "non-touch" has become one of the mainstream epidemic prevention methods. "Tiang Sushi", headquartered in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture and operates a sushi chain, announced on October 13 that it will introduce a self-service cash register that can operate the screen without touching the screen in its store. It also started trial operation at the Ikebukuro Sunshine 60 Street store in Tokyo on the 13th and at the Namba Nihonbashi store on the 16th.
Tangsushi will also change the number caller when entering the store to contactless type in the future. By then, combined with the previously implemented digital disk system used for automatic settlement, it can achieve a system where there is no need to meet the clerk from entering the store to the end of dining. This time, after adding contactless self-service cashiers, a completely "contactless service" was achieved, which is the first time among large restaurant chains in Japan.
