As foodservice operators look for ways to serve customers more efficiently while navigating labor challenges and rising operating costs, autonomous retail is creating new opportunities.
Structural Concepts' Autonomous Retail Merchandiser (ARM) brings together fresh food merchandising and frictionless checkout in one intelligent solution. Designed for secure, unattended operation, ARM gives customers convenient access to fresh food while helping operators reduce labor requirements, streamline inventory management, and create more opportunities to generate revenue.
Frictionless Shopping, Smarter Operations
ARM creates a simple grab-and-go experience without traditional checkout lines or manual scanning. Customers present payment, open the door, select their products, close the door, and complete their transaction.
For operators, ARM combines convenience with features designed to simplify day-to-day operations:
- Flexible payments: Accept credit/debit cards, mobile payments, employee or student IDs, and other credentials.
- Reduced labor needs: Operate without a dedicated cashier and provide convenient food 24/7.
- Smart inventory management: Track inventory, product movement, and sales performance in real time.
- Secure transactions: Load cell technology, transaction validation, and access controls help ensure accurate purchases.
- Flexible operation: Switch between autonomous and traditional cooler modes based on staffing or location needs.
More Products, More Sales Potential
ARM gives operators multiple ways to bring autonomous retail into their space:
- ARM XL: Built for high-volume environments with up to 23% more product capacity than comparable models.
- ARM SLIM: A compact option for smaller footprints, helping turn underutilized spaces into new sales opportunities.
- ARM DUO: Connects a primary unit with a satellite case to expand product assortment without adding another payment terminal.
From education and healthcare to workplaces, travel, entertainment, and more, these configurations make it easier to bring convenient fresh food access to a variety of environments.
