The system unveiled the new checkout-free cafe in April. The technology, which uses more than 360 cameras, allows customers and staff to scan a badge or credit card before entering, take the items of their choice and leave. The technology tracks their choices and automatically charges their card.
The shift has allowed the cafe to stay open 24 hours a day, offering more food options to night staff when there previously had been none. Since its launch, about 1,000 to 2,000 customers, including visitors and hospital staff, have visited the cafe every day.
