Alipay’s first unmanned shop in Hong Kong, there are 7 employees in the store.
A few days ago, Hong Kong’s first "AlipayHK (Hong Kong version of Alipay) Xingshuo Unmanned Shop", which has a total area of more than 400 square meters, was officially opened. It will be open to all Hong Kong local wallet AlipayHK users and mainland Alipay users until October 1.
Soon, many Hong Kong media noticed the Xingshuo unmanned shop that had just landed. However, this information was not widely exposed in the mainland media. In addition to the fact that the headlines in early September were negatively affected by Jingdong Liu Qiangdong and the news that Alibaba Mayun was preparing to step down, there is another reason that unmanned stores have long been accustomed to mainland users.
Although the unmanned model is not uncommon today, as the first unmanned store in Alipay, the Xingshuo unmanned store still has important significance. Out of curiosity, one working day after the store landed, Yiou came to the store to find out what happened.
Located in the first floor of the second phase of the “Olympic City” in Hong Kong’s famous shopping plaza, Xingshuo is located in the heart of the West Kowloon Development Zone, adjacent to the Metro Olympic Station. The overall design of the store is circular, and about one-quarter of the top floor is subjected to irregular hollowing. When the elevator descends from the upper level, the general layout of the store can be seen.
Consumers want to enter the store, first need to face recognition, when the system is successfully identified, you must use AlifayHK or the two-dimensional code on the electronic screen of the mainland Alipay scanning gate to open the gate. Generally speaking, if the user is operating for the first time, it will often take about 10 seconds in this process because they are not familiar with the process.
After entering the Xingshuo unmanned store, you can see that there is an automatic coffee machine in the center of the left hand side, and a clerk next to it is responsible for guiding consumers to use the machine. According to the clerk, consumers need to scan the QR code on the left side of the coffee cup and pay attention to AlipayHK’s Facebook page to get free coffee. As for the process of making coffee, it is about 2 minutes.
