The Self Checkout Recycler has a compact design allowing multiple units to be positioned in the same space as a traditional Self Checkout providing retailers with a more flexible store layout. The kiosk is suitable for use in smaller stores as well as large stores and provides a flexible solution that can be configured to meet the requirements of a variety of store types. The Self Checkout Recycler has been designed primarily for higher volume smaller basket purchases and is available with a range of payment options and cash systems.
