Calgary Co-op has introduced an AI-powered charcuterie kiosk at its Oakridge store, offering shoppers a virtual “sommelier” for selecting specialty cheeses, meats and pairings. Developed by Calgary-based CGS Immersive, the touchscreen system guides customers through a short conversation about budget, flavour and guest numbers before generating a personalized board based on real-time inventory.
The kiosk prints a shopping list or staff can prepare a finished platter. Specialty cheese carries margins of up to 60 per cent, yet many shoppers lack confidence. The kiosk fills that gap and supports deli teams during the busy holiday season.
