New Hungarian innovation to ease the problem of workforce shortage in retail

Laurel Számítástechnikai Kft. developed the first Hungarian self-service checkout system for grocery stores, which can help to ease the problem of workforce shortage in retail. Stores can set up 3-4 self-service checkouts in the place of a classic cash register, and the operating cost of one new checkout is only one third of the traditional one. Laurel’s new solution costs much less for retailers than the self-service checkouts available in the international market. The company’s owner István Bessenyei told that a few Hungarian-owned retail chains have already expressed their interest in introducing the system. //
