Residents of Jurong West can now look forward to a unique hawker dining experience at a "smart" food centre that will also give back to the community.
Officially opened yesterday, the 500-seater Jurong West Hawker Centre - in Jurong West Street 61, beside Pioneer Mall - offers options from 34 cooked food stalls and boasts smart technology features.
These include self-payment kiosks that accept cash and eight cashless payment options, as well as free Wi-Fi.
The hawker centre, managed by Koufu subsidiary Hawker Management, also has three roving robots to collect used trays from customers.
Hawker Management will run the food centre on a "not-for-profit" basis. The earnings it makes will be pumped back into the community, in the form of community initiatives.
These include health screenings for residents, setting up of flea markets and handouts to needy residents..
