Amazon News | Toronto Tech Hub Launches Canada’s First In-Office Just Walk Out Technology Store @AmazonNews | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
At Amazon’s Toronto Tech Hub, where 3,500 employees work, Amazon has launched the first Just Walk Out technology store at an Amazon office in Canada, with a second location planned for the YYZ18 office at 18 York Street later this year. The store at YYZ14 offers a variety of ‘grab and go’ food and beverages from brands including Greenhouse, Cove Gut Healthy Drinks, and Well.

Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), including aboutamazon.com/news/retail/how-does-amazon-just-walk-out-work, as well as sensor fusion, Just Walk Out technology enables shoppers to grab what they want and simply leave the store. To enter the store, Amazon employees use their credit card at the entry gate. Just Walk Out technology associates the shopper with their payment instrument, and detects the items taken from or returned to store shelves, creating a virtual shopping session. When employees have completed their visit, they simply leave the store, and their payment instrument will be charged for the items they took with them.
