Operational Focus
For operators, micro-markets are
equipped with sensors that track
inventory levels, sales patterns, and
customer preferences in real-time.
This data empowers staff to make
informed decisions about stock and
pricing. Importantly, it also supports
sustainability efforts by minimising
overstock and spoilage.
Do micro-markets
play a role in
wellness and
productivity?
Absolutely! Providing a customisable
range of hot and cold refreshment
service landscape?
choices, micro-markets are tailored
to consumers' likes and dislikes,
dietary requirements and allergies.
They can be built with barista-style
coffee machines, to provide high-
quality hot drinks throughout the
working day, and heating systems for
cooked food on the go.
These mini canteens also operate
around the clock to cater to the
diverse schedules of modern
consumers.

What’s in store for
the future of
unattended retail?
Where technology meets consumer
demand, the future holds plenty of
potential for unattended retail options
like micro-markets. With advancements in
AI and machine learning, these digital
canteens could adapt to anticipate our
favourite snacks, and recommend new
items aligned with our dietary
preferences.
With increased return to work initiatives
following COVID, we’re also likely to see a
higher take-up of micro-markets in office
environments.
For fifty years, Oasis Coffee & Vending
has delivered refreshment options for the
workplace and beyond. To learn more
