Family-owned Kende Gastro has opened a bistro in the Agora Budapest office building that uses an autonomous, checkout-free platform developed by US startup AiFi.
Kende Gastro has signed an exclusive cooperation agreement for Hungary with AiFi, company head Gábor Kende told MTI. The technology was developed by Amazon in 2018, he added.
AiFi’s platform tracks the items shoppers add to their “virtual baskets” using cameras and charges them using a mobile application,
he said.
Such a system can be installed in a 20sqm, turnkey store for about 40 million forints (EUR 110,000), he added.

While Hungary has a checkout free Bistro, other places have a rollout of checkout free supermarkets. Aldi for instance has started rolling them out in the UK. Hungary is still light years behind.
