SAN DIEGO, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Accel Robotics, a
leading startup for checkout-free retail solutions powered by
computer vision and artificial intelligence, today announced the
soon-to-be-open Valet Market, an automated shopping experience for
modern communities. Valet Market is an autonomous community market
offering 1,500 square feet of retail space within Brookfield's
luxury high-rise community, Vantage Pointe, in San Diego's East Village. Designed as a shared
pantry for the neighborhood, shoppers at Valet Market will find
locally-sourced items, such as produce, baked goods and dairy,
alongside everyday convenience items on the store's smart shelves.
The market is also integrated with Last Step™ delivery
services for residents, who can order goods through the store's
mobile app for on-demand delivery straight to their door.
"Valet Market signals a new era in modern convenience that
offers community residents 24/7 access to autonomous shopping while
serving as a distribution hub for the larger community," said
Brandon Maseda, CEO and co-founder
of Accel Robotics. "We're enabling a grab-and-go store of the
future for a fast, hyper-local shopping experience, all while
setting a new standard of service with our Last Step delivery
offering."
Valet Market is a new way for consumers to shop for everyday
items. They simply download the app and use their phone to check in
to the store. Once inside, shoppers can select desired items and
walk out without having to wait in line to check out. Advanced
technologies including computer vision, shelf-level sensors and
artificial intelligence automatically track products as shoppers
remove them from the shelves. When exiting the store, a receipt
will be delivered promptly to the shopper's mobile device,
eliminating the wasted time and hassle of traditional or
self-checkout.
Last Step, a proprietary delivery solution from Accel Robotics,
will provide residents at Vantage Pointe with the added convenience
of having items delivered directly to their door in addition to
24/7 access to in-store shopping.
"We're experiencing incredible momentum around delivering
autonomous shopping solutions for enterprise customers across the
retail sector," Maseda continued. "With Valet Market, we have the
opportunity to showcase our next-generation, contactless shopping
experience directly to consumers while providing our real estate
partners with a cutting-edge, innovative tenant amenity."
In addition to Valet Market, Accel Robotics will be announcing
partnerships with leading U.S. brands and entities, including
universities, sports venues, military bases, convenience stores,
pharmacies, and fuel stations.
