Smart Checkout and Kiosks

Mashgin, an AI-powered checkout provider, reported in January 2025 that its computer vision kiosks processed more than 440 million transactions across over 4,000 locations in the United States, Europe, and Australia during 2024. The company's systems were deployed in over 3,000 convenience stores, 145 sports venues, 50 airports, and 50 college campuses, with median transaction times as low as seven seconds. By April 2025, Mashgin announced it had surpassed one billion cumulative transactions, with monthly transaction volume growing 1,233% from three million in March 2022 to 40 million in March 2025. At NFL stadium concessions, fans purchased over 1.4 million items via Mashgin kiosks in 2024, with a median transaction time under 15 seconds.

In the grocery sector, a European discount grocery chain partnered with Grabango to deploy computer vision-based autonomous checkout at a suburban Chicago store in February 2024. The system uses ceiling-mounted cameras and sensors to monitor customer selections, allowing shoppers to exit without scanning items while retaining the option for traditional cashier checkout. In Europe, Trigo Vision reported its technology was live in over 100 stores globally by the third quarter of 2024, serving major grocery chains including a leading U.K. supermarket and large German retailers. In the QSR segment, according to the RBR Data Services Global Self-Ordering Kiosks 2024 report, more than 345,000 self-ordering kiosks were installed worldwide by mid-2023, with a major global burger chain operating more than 130,000 units and reporting a 5% to 6% rise in same-store sales at kiosk-equipped locations.
