Talk about the difference between unmanned convenience stores and self-service vending machines

Since 2017, it has been called the first year of new retail business, new retail business, no convenience store, etc. I don't know how you like it. When Xiao Bian heard so much time together for the first time, he was very confused. Today, let us select two final expressions of new retail stores, unmanned convenience stores and vending machines to discuss the differences between them.　　First, the difference in function 　　 There is not much difference in function between vending machines and unattended convenience stores (also known as unattended convenience stores). Self-service vending machines can be sold on one machine, and the unmanned store can be said to be an extended version of the machine or a combination of vending machines. Second, the difference in the number of inventory units. Unattended convenience stores can accommodate more SKUs according to the different craftsmanship of the store. This does not limit the formation of products. Vending machines can also be implemented by installing in combination cabinets, but automatic The number of vending machine units is relative. Reduced, but vending machines have very little restrictions on the venue and relative flexibility. high.　　 Third, the cost of vending machines and unmanned vending stores 　　 The cost of opening an unmanned convenience store is between 100,000 yuan and 200,000 yuan. The size of the store and the technology of the vending machine result in different costs. The purchase cost of the equipment is between 1 and 5 yuan.　　 In terms of energy consumption, the consumption of unmanned convenience stores is also greater. At present, many unattended convenience stores are not equipped with refrigeration function, leading to fresh food preservation problems, while vending machines can be set to refrigerate or keep warm, and some customized vending machines can also provide heating functions. At present, the vending machine industry is also launching a new type of box lunch machine, which can choose to heat the vending machine or microwave heating on the refrigerated vending machine. It can better meet the needs of consumers and save costs. Fourth, the difference between the operation and maintenance of vending machines and unmanned vending stores is that the operations of vending machines and unmanned vending stores are unattended, but unmanned convenience stores require store maintenance equipment maintenance. And decoration promotion costs, and the vending machine does not need environmental maintenance, just arrange personnel to replenish the goods on time according to the system prompts.　　 The new retail model represented by vending machines and unmanned convenience stores will become a major breakthrough for the traditional retail industry in the future. From the previous point of view, we still need to see that the technology of unmanned convenience stores at this stage needs to be further improved. Starting from the actual landing situation, unmanned convenience stores and vending machines have their own advantages and complement each other, and no one is convenient. The store has high technology content, large store area and wider layout, low cost of vending machines, and convenient low-cost refined layout. But new retail entrepreneurs need to start from their own business characteristics, so that they can go further in the vending industry.　　 This article is organized by unmanned vending machines.
