To DailySocial, Co-Founder & CEO of Warung Pintar Agung Bezharie Hadinegoro said, until now Warung Pintar already has around 700 partner kiosks. Every month it is claimed that there are four thousand partners who register to become merchant from all over Indonesia. 70% of requests come from the Greater Jakarta area.

"Basically we want cover all big cities to small cities in Indonesia. As long as they have a stall, then a partnership with Warung Pintar can certainly be done," said Agung.

Still focusing on service for shop owners, most of the buyer's activities at Warung Pintar are buying food and drinks. The rest is the use of free Wi-Fi, purchase credit, and other digital transactions.

"Play product Warung Pintar is to facilitate the business of the shop owner, for example, they don't have to bother making purchases directly. Utilizing existing partners, the services provided from smart stalls can all be done. Starting from purchases, payments, to track sales," said Agung.

Coming soon new features for consumers
