Independent Employs Instacart’s Scan & Pay “Connected” Tech

Foodcellar Market, a two-store independent on Long Island in New York, announced that it is the first retailer to implement Instacart’s Scan & Pay technology, allowing customers to scan items and then pay for them using their mobile phones.

These in-store purchases then will be linked to their online Instacart accounts, which will facilitate the building of shopping lists and repurchase preferred products – the process sis all part of Instacart’s Connected Stores platform.

“At Foodcellar Market, we know that our customers’ time is precious, and we’re dedicated to ensuring that every moment they spend with us is enjoyable and efficient,” Foodcellar Market co-founder Metin Mangut said in a prepared statement. “Our customers have shared their surprise at how easy it is to use Scan & Pay; there’s no need to download an app or learn complicated technology. We’ve been really pleased with the early adoption and our store associates love how Scan & Pay reduces stress for them too.”

KC’s View:

I’m happy to use this moment to mention that Chris Rogers, Chief Business Officer at Instacart, will be appearing with me, live onstage, during the technology innovation track at the National Grocers Association (NGA) Show in Las Vegas.  We’ll be discussing Instacart’s evolution, its Connected Stores initiative, and how it is enabling independent retailers to compete against larger, better-resourced entities.

And yes … I know that any longtime MNB reader will read about an Instacart exec appearing with me onstage and immediately will go to a window to see if pigs are flying.  Or check a weather app to see if hell has frozen over.

All is good … and I cannot tell you how much I’m looking forward to Sunday, February 26 … this session will be part of a packed tech/innovation track agenda that I think will be filled with energy and illumination.
