Screen Golf Reservation Platform Kim Caddy Announces Impact of Unmanned Solution

Analysis of Operational Data from About 150 Stores Implementing the Solution

Average Monthly Sales Increase by Approximately 2.65 Million Won Compared to Previous Figures

Reported 81% Reduction in Average Monthly Labor Costs

On March 24, Kim Caddy, a screen golf reservation platform, announced that stores adopting its unmanned operation solution have experienced tangible management improvements, including increased nighttime sales and reduced labor costs.

This conclusion is based on an analysis of operational data from approximately 150 stores where Kim Caddy's unmanned solution has been implemented. After deploying the solution, the average monthly sales during nighttime hours (11 p.m. to 9 a.m. the next day) rose by approximately 2.69 million won compared to the previous period. In contrast, average monthly labor costs decreased by around 81% thanks to the establishment of an efficient unmanned operating environment.

The Kim Caddy unmanned operation solution uses Internet of Things (IoT) technology to link reservation data with in-store equipment. Once a user completes a reservation, key equipment in the store—such as projectors, bay simulators, and lighting—is automatically controlled according to the reserved time. The system also includes access control and step-by-step voice guidance for reservation customers, enabling store operations without on-site staff.

The access control system, integrated with reservation data, automatically manages user entry. The step-by-step voice guidance system provides customer instructions even in unmanned stores. Store operators can check the store’s status, perform remote controls, and monitor operations in real time using their mobile devices.

Unmanned operation technology is also being promoted through the 'Smart Store Technology Distribution Project' led by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Small Enterprise and Market Service. This government initiative supports the digital transformation of small business stores using AI and IoT technologies, subsidizing up to 70% of the supply price.

Kim Caddy has been selected as a supplier for the Smart Store Technology Distribution Project and is providing unmanned operation automation solutions to screen golf stores. A Kim Caddy representative stated, "We have confirmed in actual store data that the introduction of the unmanned operation system leads to increased nighttime sales and reduced labor costs," adding, "We plan to continue supporting the digital transformation of screen golf stores in connection with the Smart Store Project."
