Fast Track Convenience Stores Redefine Convenience
For more than two decades, Sterling Services has offered fresh cuisine selections for vending, dining room management and executive catering to customers in the Detroit Metro area. Sterling Services has broken new ground with Fast Track Convenience powered by Freedom Shopping, self-checkout convenience stores that use RFID technology.
In a society where people are constantly on the go—to work, school or to work out—convenient food options are not just a nicety; they’re a necessity.
Offices, schools, fitness clubs, hospitals and other facilities have tried to meet those needs with self-service vending machines or manned cafes. Vending limits options to a few dozen items while staffed cafes are costly and only open certain hours. In fact, a business can spend $50,000 to $150,000 per year operating an on-site cafeteria.
After more than 20 years of offering vending and catering services, Sterling Services recently took its business to the next level. A light bulb went off when the company discovered radio frequency (RFID) self-checkout technology at a trade show.
