Cashless Grocery stores – the future of food shopping

Going cashless at a grocery store is one way to create a faster, more efficient shopping experience, cut costs, and create a safer environment. Whether your grocery store is a small shop or a large, regional chain, Cash-2-Card self-service kiosks can be installed to create frictionless transaction experiences between customers and employees at your location(s).

As a grocery store manager, you may be well aware of the benefits that come with conducting business cash-free, but you may also be concerned about turning away cash-paying customers. Cash-2-Card ReverseATM Technology empowers your cash-paying customers and improves your customers’ shopping experience in many ways. Here are a few ways Cash-2-Card self-service kiosks can help improve your customers’ food shopping experience in a cashless grocery store.

Going cashless means less waiting in grocery store check-out lines. One of the biggest benefits of cashless transactions at grocery stores is shorter lines. Because employees at your store won’t need to operate a traditional register any longer, all transactions can be conducted electronically and therefore they’re much quicker. No more counting change.

Since the pandemic changed food shopping in 2020, many grocery stores have created shopper guides for social distancing by implementing one-way direction signs in aisles as well as floor markers indicating where shoppers should stand to keep 6 feet apart while they await checkout. This measure extends lines, takes up more space in a store, changes the traffic flow of a store and hinders the shopping experience. Going cashless can help mitigate the shopping traffic jams at stores during peak shopping times.

Going cashless means faster transactions at grocery stores. A speedier transaction experience also means you can reduce the amount of time your customers are inside your store together. Speeder checkouts mean your customers get their groceries home quicker and spend less time coming in contact with groups of people. It’s safer for everyone, and it’s a competitive advantage as you get more customers in your doors per day and can offer a safer shopping experience than your competitors.

Cash-2-Card ReverseATM Technology is free for shoppers at your grocery store. Using a card dispensed by Cash-2-Card kiosks at your grocery store is completely free for your customers to use. There is no transaction fee involved for them at all. Unlike using a credit card, customers won’t rack up a balance that they need to worry about paying off later or carrying a balance they could accrue interest on. All they need to do is insert cash and receive a card for the exact same value of the cash. They can use the card at your store for multiple grocery shopping trips until the balance is depleted.

Cash-2-Card Kiosks can help your customers take advantage of promotions at your cashless grocery store. Have a gift card program, coupons, shopper rewards or other promotion that grocery shoppers should know about? Our technology allows you to include your promos and shopper rewards on your customized store card. Cash-2-Card kiosks in your grocery store improve visibility of your cost-saving promotions, serve as touch points to enroll customers in your loyalty program, collect info, advertise and dispense coupons. Higher visibility of your rewards programs helps to foster customer loyalty.

Going cashless means customers can feel less nervous about encountering germs. Understandably, many shoppers are feeling nervous about germs and are opting to shop for groceries online over going to a brick-and-mortar store. Going cashless means you can setup contact-less, safely distanced check-out experiences at your grocery store to help grocery shoppers feel more comfortable. A live flu virus can live on paper currency for up to 17 days - the removal of physical banknotes and coins takes away the risk of transferring germs between people in this way.
