The Studentenwerk Hannover is dedicated to support students through a variety of services, including the management of 16 dining facilities, including 10 canteens and 6 cafeterias. Like many catering facilities, the Studentenwerk Hannover was confronted with the problem of staff shortages. To optimize the use of existing cashier staff, VisioLab self-checkout systems were introduced. This technology enables students to pay for their food and drinks independently, making processes more efficient and deploying staff resources where they are needed. Melanie Wichmann, Head of University Catering, describes the positive changes.
