Alibaba Group demonstrated a facial recognition-powered, cashier-less coffee shop earlier this month at its second Taobao Maker Festival, according to a report by Technode.
Using Alibaba’s AI and data technologies, Tao Café invited customers to shop at the offline store without having to wait in queues to pay for drinks or food.
The café had a few employees on hand to prepare the food and drinks, however, no cashiers were required as all transactions were done digitally.
A customer could walk up to the counter and order an Americano, which prompted the system to scan her face through the screen and withdraw the price of the coffee from her Alipay account.
