The Shop That Runs Itself

Effort: 10 minutesIt’s 2:00 a.m. and you’re craving a snack. The lights are on, the door unlocks, you walk in—and there’s no cashier anywhere. No awkward waiting. No closed sign. Just grab, scan, and go. Business isn’t just about selling things; it’s about rethinking how work gets done when problems like staffing shortages, rising costs, and safety get in the way. Around the world, stores are testing employee-free setups to stay competitive. Face scanning tech adds a layer of security, electronic shelf labels update prices instantly, and self-service kiosks handle checkout. Companies like Lenovo build the systems that connect all this tech so it runs smoothly and securely. Your Task: Create a 30–60 second business pitch to convince a business to buy a Lenovo‑powered, employee‑free store system. Step 1: Choose one small retail shop. Examples: corner convenience store, campus snack shop, neighborhood mini-mart, or gas station store. Think about what the shop’s biggest problem may be. Step 2: Explain how any of these tech features help solve that problem: • Face scanning tech for store entry • Electronic shelf labels • Self-service kiosk Your Submission: You’ve secured a meeting with the shop owner. It’s time to make your pitch! We encourage you to record a video and submit the link. If that’s not possible, you can submit the script for your pitch instead. More
