The French chain of stores Auchan opened their first self-service stores in the Chinese city – Ningbo.

Such a shop was called “Ashan-minute” and works in a small format, that is, it has a small area and range of goods, but it has everything you need. In order to get inside this mini-Aashan, you need to scan the QR code, enter your name and phone number.

After that, the Auchan customer receives a confirmation SMS and you can go to the trading room. The buyer automatically closes the door, so to leave without a purchase, you must send another SMS to get the code from the store.

Inside, the “Ashan-Minute” is equipped with cameras and cash registers of self-service.
