Innovative Technology demonstrate latest solutions at London’s Hospitality Tech Expo

Hospitality Tech Expo is Europe’s leading event dedicated to the technologies that are driving profits for hospitality. Held at London ExCeL on 15-16 October, it provides a platform for industry professionals to discuss industry trends and suppliers to promote the latest technologies. Innovative Technology (ITL) is a global leader in cash handling equipment and provide AI-powered age & identity verification technology widely used by the retail industry.

Commenting on their presence at the show, Chris Wright, Business Development Manager for ITL’s retail sector said, “Following a successful show last year, we are delighted to be participating again to showcase our latest innovations to the hospitality sector.”

A key focus on the ITL stand G24 will be their AI-powered facial age estimation solutions which are ideal for restaurants and bar owners who sell age restricted goods such as alcohol. MyCheckr is their standalone solution, made in the UK, which uses facial analysis to estimate age, all completely anonymously and fully GDPR compliant.

Chris added, “With unlimited age checks included, MyCheckr is a cost effective solution supported by a Trading Standards Primary Authority Partnership to assist with Challenge 25. As well as giving restaurant and bar staff more confidence to ask for ID, it acts as a visual deterrent and can also reduce the chances of abuse directed towards them.  Our technology is highly accurate and takes the pressure away from staff who no longer have to make assumptions around customer’s age.  But MyCheckr’s features go way beyond age assurance – it can display age appropriate targeted adverts and produce consumer analytics to give a better understanding of customer behaviour. It can also send alerts to staff via mobile devices to notify them of a potential underage customer too.”

Concluding Chris said, “We will also have  payment kioskon the stand, supplied by our customer Touchpoint Kiosks. The kiosk comes equipped with our NV22 Spectral note recycler and SMART Coin System (SCS) coin recycler for secure cash transactions. By using both our note and coin recyclers combined, retailers can eliminate coin starvation and reduce operational costs while giving customers the freedom to make cash payments. Come and demo our cash validation and age & identity technology and see how they can help you transform your hospitality business on stand G24.”
