Aramark launches first artificial intelligence powered Quick Eats checkout-free store in Scotland

Aramark has launched the first artificial intelligence (AI) powered Quick Eats store in Scotland.

This has gone live at Aegon’s offices in Edinburgh to serve its 1,300 staff members.

Quick Eats is a checkout-free retail store offering access to a variety of foods, beverages, and essentials at all hours of the working day.

By using Aramark’s WorkXgo app, customers walk in and walk out without having to wait in lines or go through a cashier.

The store features overhead cameras and intelligent shelf sensors, which combine detection, visual cognition, and payment integration.

This is the third Aramark Quick Eats store deploying the technology, with the first two having opened in Germany and Chile.

“The launch of Quick Eats in Scotland marks an important milestone on our journey to become the most innovative leader in the hospitality industry,” says Helen Milligan-Smith, Managing Director at Aramark UK.

“By deploying the most cutting-edge and sophisticated technology in the market, we aim to make the customer journey as seamless and efficient as possible.”
