Background 

As leading convenience store chains like Linji expand rapidly across dense urban neighborhoods, capturing immediate grab-and-go sales is vital. However, severe labor shortages and soaring late-night operational costs create heavy bottlenecks during morning rush hours. To preserve their signature fast checkout promise and support 24/7 business models, Linji partnered with FUNPAD to deploy micro-retail automated cashiers.

Solution

Compact Convenience POS Kiosks FUNPAD delivered an agile, space-optimized hardware configuration specifically tailored for small-footprint convenience environments:

·Streamlined Countertop Footprint: Sleek, modular chassis fits perfectly onto existing store counters without sacrificing valuable merchandising space.

·Rapid Desktop Scanning Window: Features a wide-angle, high-density optical engine that instantly logs pre-packaged snacks, bento boxes, and beverages.

·Integrated Receipt & Coupon Printer: Houses a built-in heavy-duty thermal mechanism that issues instant transaction receipts and promotional vouchers.

Results & Benefits 

The deployment of FUNPAD terminals catalyzed a digital shift across Linji branches. Customer queuing times during rush hours were slashed by nearly 45%, maximizing transaction volume. Store clerks were successfully freed from repetitive cash handling to focus on shelf replenishment and fresh food prep, elevating store cleanliness and overall franchise efficiency.
