The company has so far installed around 348 self-checkout machines in 78 SPAR stores in Hungary.

Besides cash payment, the self-checkouts also accept bank cards, SuperShop cards and SPAR gift cards.

In the coming months, the retailer will install the machines in 14 additional stores, with another 60 stores being planned for next year.
