How does an automatic grocery store work?

The principle of an automatic grocery store is simple the customer enters the store, chooses the products he needs and leaves immediately. And all this, no matter the day or the hour! To start shopping, they simply present a credit card or a payment application on their smartphone at a kiosk at the entrance of the store. Then the procedure is simple : as in a supermarket or a grocery store, you just have to fill your basket with the desired products by placing your hand on the handle of the cabinets, which will have the effect of unlocking them. Once the purchases are made, the customer leaves the store and will be debited automatically.
