What can be achieved by introducing “TTG-MONSTAR” -For customers-
1. Multilingual translation support (English/Chinese/Korean) 2. Support calls on the cashier screen using the call button -For stores-
3. Automate cash register payment operations that were previously done manually 4. When a receipt runs out (jams), it can be operated by issuing electronic receipts.
5. Configured with a web browser-based management screen
*Product master registration etc. can be done remotely from a PC outside the store

Store entry management via LINE during unmanned business hours During unmanned business hours from 8:00 am to 10:00 am and from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm, you will be able to enter the store using your LINE mini app digital membership card.
