In the recent past, CU, the leading brand of convenience stores in South Korea, opened its first store in Hawaii and made a great spectacle. The introduction of the brand brought an immediate buzz among the consumers as well as mainstream media.
Local American media and bloggers needed no time to put the store into the spotlight once it opened. CU’s fresh fruit smoothies made on the spot enticed local customers who waiting in line just to sample tempted the eatery to exceed its sales of over 100 cups daily winning the queue-crowding phenomenon mark in Hawaii.
Low-calorie, healthy and all natural diets are popular with the consumers today. The smart smoothie vending machines of CU do not change the original nutrition of the fruit, leaving the customer with the ability to select his/her favorite combination of flavors to make a really healthy choice of beverage.
The popularity of the smoothie machine as a revenue generator is due to its high-end technology:
High-speed blending Fresh fruit becomes smoothies within 60 seconds, keeping up with fast consumption.
- Hygiene and safety: Auto-clean also ensures that there is no cross-contamination so that there is safety and peace of mind.
- Multilingual: The machine has an interface that supports 20 different languages, catering to the needs of the local residents and international tourists alike, without language barriers.
- 24hat service: 24 hour self-service saves labor strain during peak time and enhances the shopping experience.
Moreover, intelligent management system enables the inventory control and analysis of sales remotely. Stores are able to keep trace of raw material waste, forecast the requirement to replenish and modify supply arrangements by time units to bring cost savings and efficiency.
CU is going to spread to 50 stores in Hawaii within three years after the success of the first store, but is debating with us on future orders of smoothie vending machines. Market test reveals that these machines are basically recovered in two months, and expansion is stabilized shortly.
