How does security work at a micro market?
We prefer to build our micro markets in a secure environment that serves an established group of people. All of our kiosks are equipped with a camera that monitors who is using the market. Our customers can also opt to install CCTV cameras on site for an additional layer of security. We remotely monitor all stock levels so if products start to go missing, we will be able to detect it. If we suspect theft, we can inform management of the location. The truth is, many workers will not want to put their job at risk for a free snack and thus shrinkage rates stay very low.
What kinds of workplaces can have a micro market?
All kinds of workplaces are eligible for a micro market! As long as you have a secure space with an internet connection, we can install a micro market.
How much space do you need?
Micro markets work in spaces both large and small. We would recommend 2m of wall space in order to fit a small micro market. We’ll come out to you and evaluate the location and help you find an appropriate space when we begin the designing stage.
