NowBusking Passes Regulatory Sandbox for 'Mainstream Smart Ordering'

Smart Ordering and Payment Service for Alcoholic Beverages Passes Regulatory Sandbox Application

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] It has become possible to order and pick up alcohol-only orders via mobile. Now Busking (CEO Jeon Sang-yeol), which operates the comprehensive store management and analysis service 'Now Waiting,' announced on the 12th that the 'Smart Ordering and Payment Service for Alcoholic Beverages' system improvement task, applied for last December to the Ministry of Science and ICT, was processed through the National Tax Service's 'active administration.'

The smart ordering service, where customers order and pay via mobile and pick up the products themselves, had not been allowed for alcohol-only orders, limiting its adoption by general restaurants focused on alcohol sales, such as craft beer specialty stores. With the recent approval of smart ordering for alcohol tele-sales, it can now be introduced in craft beer-selling dining establishments and outdoor festivals urgently needing operational efficiency.

Small business owners can secure customer information and order/payment data, enabling data-driven store management. Additionally, customers can remotely order and pay by themselves, allowing more simultaneous orders and increasing store turnover rates. Other benefits are expected, such as reducing space congestion and lowering operating costs.

Jeon Sang-yeol, CEO of Now Busking, said, "Through activating KakaoTalk chatbot orders and smart ordering operated by Now Waiting, we will strive to achieve digital transformation for small business owners, including data-driven management, cost reduction, and improved operational efficiency."
