Grocery, beauty and pharmacy

In these stores, the checkout defines the experience

In grocery, beauty and pharmacy, customers often arrive knowing what they want, so the time spent at the checkout shapes the visit more than anything else. Razbin shows the queue, the time customers wait while no one is at the till, and how busy each hour gets.

Questions checkout-focused stores ask

Managing time at the checkout

When does the checkout back up?

See when the queue builds, hour by hour, and decide when to open another checkout.

Is the counter left unattended?

When customers wait and no one is behind the till, that time is measured separately: a clear service indicator, especially for single-checkout stores.

Is the team big enough at peak times?

Hour-by-hour visitor and occupancy figures become the basis for your shift plan.

Checkout

Spot the queue before it grows

  • How many people are in the queue right now
  • The longest queue of the day and an hourly breakdown
  • Time spent waiting at an unattended till
  • Checkout visitors and their share of all visitors

You set the thresholds for queue length and waiting time; when one is reached, a notification lands in your notification center.

An example day

A weekday evening, in numbers

  1. The after-work rush

    As visitor numbers climb, the queue reaches the threshold you set and a “Checkout busy” notification lands in your notification center.

  2. A few minutes later

    Another checkout opens, and the hourly chart shows the queue clearing.

  3. By the end of the day

    The longest queue by hour and the time spent waiting at an unattended till shape tomorrow's checkout plan.

Frequently asked questions

For grocery, beauty and pharmacy

Does it work for pharmacies with a counter instead of a checkout?

Yes. During installation, the checkout area is set up around your counter, so the wait in front of it and the time no one is behind it are measured in the same way.

Does our payment system need any changes?

No. Razbin measures the queue and checkout visitors through the camera that covers your checkout, and your payment system keeps working exactly as it does today.

Will I know when it gets busy?

Yes. When the queue reaches the number of people you set, or a customer waits longer than your chosen time, a notification lands in your app's notification center.
