Hospitality Tech Expo is Europe’s leading event for industry professionals to discuss cutting-edge technology for the hospitality sector. Held at London ExCeL on 30 September to October 1st, Innovative Technology (ITL) will demo their latest cash handling equipment and age estimation technology on stand HT810.
Commenting on their involvement, Chris Wright, Business Development Manager for ITL’s retail sector said, “We are looking forward to the 2025 event to highlight how the retail and hospitality sector can benefit from implementing our cash validators, recyclers, and assisted age check solutions at the point-of-sale.”
A key focus on the ITL stand will be their AI-powered facial age estimation solutions which are being used by the retail and hospitality industry to aid staff during the sale of age restricted goods such as alcohol.
AI Technology for Age Estimation
Chris explained, “MyCheckr is a hardware device that uses facial analysis to estimate age, all completely anonymously and fully GDPR compliant. It’s simple to use, with the display turning green if the customer is over 25 and red if potentially underage. Our technology is highly accurate and when positioned at attended payment points it can take the pressure away from staff and give them more confidence to ask for ID if needed. Using the same technology, ICU Lite is our integrated solution for automated payment kiosks which reduces the need for staff intervention, creating a frictionless customer experience.”
“However, MyCheckr’s features go way beyond age assurance. It can provide demographic data insights (DDI) to give insightful, time-stamped activity to better understand customer purchasing trends. Plus, it can even display age appropriate targeted promotions. Customers can manage multiple age check devices with MyConnect which sends alerts to staff via the app to notify them of a potential underage purchase or entry attempt.”
Concluding Chris said, “We will be demonstrating a payment kiosk on the stand equipped with our Spectral Payout note recycler and SMART Coin System (SCS) coin recycler for secure cash transactions. By using our note and coin recyclers, business owners can accept cash payments from their customers in a secure and cost-effective manner – eliminating shrinkage and reducing operating costs. ICU Lite for automated age checks will also be integrated in the kiosk, showing a complete solution working seamlessly. Come and demo our technology for yourself on HT810 and see how it can help you transform your hospitality business.”
