According to McKinsey's 2025 report, convenience stores deploying self-checkout kiosks reduce wait time by 30-50% and increase revenue by 15-20% as customers shop faster. In Vietnam, mini supermarket and convenience store chains face pressure from cashier shortages, long queues during peak hours, and pricing errors. Self-checkout kiosk integrated with POS software and AI camera is the essential solution to automate payment processing, reduce operating costs, and enhance customer experience.
Issues mini supermarkets and convenience stores face
⚠ Long queues during peak hours – Mornings and weekends, checkout counters often overflow and customers abandon shopping due to long waits.
⚠ Cashier shortage – Turnover rate for cashier positions reaches 40-60% annually, especially for multi-store chains.
⚠ Pricing errors – Staff incorrectly enter codes or forget to update promotions, causing 2-5% revenue loss monthly.
⚠ Inventory shrinkage – Forgotten items, intentional non-scanning, or staff missing scans increase loss rates.
How self-checkout kiosk works
- Step 1 – Customer scans product barcode: Using integrated barcode scanner or AI camera recognizing products (computer vision), system automatically adds items to virtual cart.
- Step 2 – Review and payment: Touchscreen displays item list, total amount, customer selects payment method (cash, card, QR code).
- Step 3 – Print receipt and open gate: Thermal printer (Epson or Bixolon) prints receipt, system opens automatic gate if no unscanned items detected.
- Step 4 – Sync data to POS: Việt POS software automatically updates inventory, revenue in real-time, enabling remote management.
Specific benefits of self-checkout kiosk deployment
One kiosk can replace 2-3 cashiers, saving 60-120 million VND annually per store.
Customers self-checkout in 30-60 seconds instead of 3-5 minutes waiting for cashier.
AI camera and barcode scanner eliminate human error, reducing shrinkage below 0.5%.
Kiosk screen recommends complementary items (fries, drinks), increasing average basket value 10-15%.
POS software syncs revenue, inventory, shopping behavior – optimizing procurement and marketing.
Younger customers prefer self-service, reducing staff pressure, increasing repeat visits.

Application in convenience store chains
For chains like Circle K, GS25, and modern convenience stores, self-checkout kiosk handles 60-70% of simple transactions (1-3 items). Customers only need to scan items, scan QR code for Momo/ZaloPay payment, receive receipt and leave. Integrated AI camera detects unscanned items, reducing loss. A chain of 10 stores can save 500 million – 1 billion VND annually in staffing costs.
Application in mini supermarkets
Mini supermarkets of 100-300m² with 5,000-8,000 SKUs typically have 2-3 checkout counters. Self-checkout kiosk at entrance/exit relieves peak hour pressure, especially for low-item purchases. Việt POS has deployed for mini supermarket chains in Ho Chi Minh City, integrating electronic scale for produce (customers self-weigh and scan). Result: 40% reduction in wait time, 20% increase in add-on purchases.
Cost and ROI for self-checkout kiosk investment

| Thermal receipt printer | 3,000,000 – 7,000,000 | Epson TM-T88 or Bixolon SRP-350 |

| Installation and training | 5,000,000 – 10,000,000 | One-time |
| Total investment per kiosk | 50,000,000 – 90,000,000 | Depends on configuration and features |
With average cashier labor cost of 8-12 million VND/month/person, one kiosk pays back in 8-12 months. A chain of 5 stores saves 300-500 million VND annually.
