Big Y Foods Inc. Implements NCR Deli Ordering Kiosks (NCR)

NCR Corporation NCR today announced that Big Y Foods Inc. has completed its initial deployment of automated deli ordering kiosks powered by NCR’s self-service technology. Now featured in 18 Big Y stores throughout New England, each Big Y deli kiosk uses the NCR Netkey deli ordering application and several run on NCR EasyPoint™ Advantage kiosk hardware. All future Big Y stores will feature the combined NCR kiosk software and hardware solution. To use the kiosks, Big Y customers simply swipe their Big Y Express Savings card. The simple and intuitive touch screen enables shoppers to place and customize their meat or cheese order from the in-store deli. The NCR software determines the appropriate time for the customer to return to the deli counter to pick up their order, which is then printed at the bottom of the customer’s receipt. An in-store announcement also alerts customers when their order is ready. Customers have the added convenience of being able to check the price of all in-store merchandise at the kiosks.
