Once the store opened, local media and bloggers in America soon after pointing it out as a place of focus. The freshly-made fruit smoothies that the CU offered their clients attracted them in copious numbers as they came in queue to have their fill, and a sales volume exceeding 100 cups a day was sure to earn the CU the label of the queue worthy hits in Hawaii.
In the modern world, customers prefer healthy, nutritious and low-caloric nutrition. With smart smoothies vending machines, CU has preserved the original nutrition of the fruit, which the customer can select various flavors in regards to taste to experience the healthiest option of the drink.
The success of the smoothie machine as a revenue-generating solution can be explained by its highly developed technology:
- Fast blending: Fresh fruit is blended in smoothies within 60 seconds, the time cursed pace of fast food consumption.
- Hygienism and safety: This has an automatic cleaning feature that eliminates cross-contamination, which is a sign of security and tranquility.
- Multilingualism: The machine has an interface, which can be used in 20 different languages to provide access to both local citizens and international visitors without language barriers.
- 24-hour service: Around-the-clock self-service lessens the labor pressure during peak time and enhances shopping experience.
A smart management system also enables remote inventory management as well as sales data analysis. The stores are not only able to track the loss of raw materials but also anticipate the need to replenish the stock and the supply to be made at various different times, hence the reduction of costs and higher efficiency.
