Caliburger customers can order, pay with a smile

Caliburger rolls out AI-enabled self-service kiosks using NEC facial recognition technology.

January 16, 2018

Caliburger has partnered with NEC Corporation of America to roll out AI-enabled self-ordering kiosks using NEC facial recognition technology. 

"NEC's world-renowned face recognition technology is a key component of our strategy to reduce the friction associated with loyalty program registration and use,” John Miller, Chairman and CEO of Cali Group, said in a company press release. "It's also a key stepping stone toward replacing credit card swipes with face-based payments, which is our goal for 2018.”
 
Using facial recognition, the solution identifies the shopper as a part of the loyalty program — enabling the customer to pay with a glance at the camera.

"NEC is a leading innovator in delivering retail technologies and solutions from the point of sale to the back office and beyond," said Matt Worley, VP of NEC retail solutions. "We firmly believe that leveraging data and analytics the same way online retailers have for years — and putting useful information in the hands of salespeople so they can provide a more personalized customer experience —  is vital to the future of brick-and-mortar retail."
