The California operator has partnered with industry veteran Joe Loparco to form a new company, also called Revive Self Checkout Café, to bring the system to market. Loparco is an industry veteran who now is president of Automated Services International (Charlotte, NC), a specialist in the distribution of used and reconditioned vending equipment to an international clientele. | SEE ASI PRESS RELEASE
Customers patronizing an RSCC installation choose their products and then scan the UPC imprints or RFID tags -- the choice is the operator's -- at the self-checkout kiosk. Patrons may be given the choice of paying with cash or cashless media, including credit, debit and stored-value cards. The installation is monitored 24/7 by Internet-connected security cameras. Its free server software is run on either an Amazon Cloud or Rackspace Cloud virtual server, over which the operator has total control.
