Description

Vending is not what it used to be.

In this episode, we discuss how the frontier of food retail is unattended, how vending companies are trying to adapt, and how most are failing.

🧠 What makes a smart fridge smart?
We break down what constitutes a true smart fridge and what is just a cooler with a credit card reader slapped onto it.

🍦 The Provisions Suite: Sell ANY product 24/7

We introduce our new smart pantry and smart freezer and how these are leading the way in unattended retail of food and other products (phone chargers, gifts, ice cream, etc.)

👩🏻‍⚕️ Healthcare: 24/7 cafeterias, gift, and flower shops
Healthcare workers shouldn’t have to choose between convenience and nourishment. We dive into how hospitals are utilizing FoodSpot’s new Provisions Suite (Smart Fridge, Pantry, and Freezer) to establish food-secure, self-service microstores across their campuses.
