Custom Self-Serve Convenience Store Solutions

Self-checkout machines are commonly called self-service kiosks, self-checkout kiosks, or point-of-sale (POS) kiosks. In a workplace micro-market, the kiosk is the station where users scan or select items and complete payment. CDS Refresh micro-markets use modern self-checkout technology designed to support convenient cashless payment options, helping employees purchase food and drinks quickly without a cashier.

A self-serve convenience store, often called a micro-market, is an unattended retail space placed inside a workplace or facility. It offers snacks, beverages, fresh meals, frozen foods, and other refreshments in open shelves and refrigerated displays. Employees select their items and pay at a self-checkout kiosk, giving them convenient access to food and drinks throughout the day.

CDS Refresh works with your organization to assess available space, workplace culture, and product preferences, then develops a customized market layout and product mix. Employees shop the open market and pay at the self-checkout kiosk. End-to-end technology tracks products from procurement through consumption, while CDS Refresh services the market and replenishes items to maintain an organized, appealing experience.

A micro-market can include fresh sandwiches, salads, fruit, vegetables, yogurt, hummus, snacks, candy, frozen foods, ice cream, coffee, hot chocolate, filtered water, sodas, energy drinks, and protein shakes. CDS Refresh builds the assortment around your workplace’s preferences and can include healthier selections and products that meet sugar-free, gluten-free, or dairy-free dietary needs.

Yes. CDS Refresh micro-markets are designed to provide 24/7 self-checkout convenience, so employees and authorized facility users can access refreshments outside standard business hours. This is especially useful for operations with varied shifts, including logistics hubs, government facilities, and workplaces that need food and beverage options available beyond a traditional lunch schedule.

CDS Refresh supports leading payment options, including cashless card readers, Apple Pay, Google Wallet, and other mobile payment methods. These options make checkout faster and more flexible for employees. The specific payment setup can be reviewed during planning so the market’s technology aligns with your facility’s needs and the preferences of the people who will use it.

CDS Refresh offers locally prepared fresh food that is delivered quickly to support quality and freshness. Product movement is monitored through end-to-end inventory technology, helping the team identify what needs replenishment. Menus can be adjusted as workplace preferences change, allowing the market to maintain an appealing selection of fresh meals, snacks, and beverages over time.

Space needs vary based on the number of users, desired product variety, and available facility layout. CDS Refresh begins with a one-on-one assessment of the area and develops a planogram to fit the market to your space. For smaller footprints or remote locations, AI-enabled smart coolers can provide a compact alternative with integrated payment technology and flexible placement.
