Smart Market Services for Modern Workplaces

A smart market is an unattended, self-service food and beverage space installed inside a workplace. It typically includes open snack shelving, refrigerated fresh-food and drink cases, and a digital self-checkout station. Employees can choose items at their convenience and pay with supported cashless methods. CDS Refresh customises the market’s layout, product mix, and equipment around available space and workplace preferences.

Employees select their items and complete payment at the market’s self-checkout system using available cashless payment options. The technology is designed for straightforward, independent purchases throughout the day. CDS Refresh uses end-to-end tracking to monitor product movement from procurement through consumption, helping maintain accurate inventory and making it easier to replenish popular items promptly.

A smart market can include fresh sandwiches, salads, fruit, vegetables, yoghurt, hummus, frozen foods, ice cream, snacks, candy, hot chocolate, coffee, filtered water, sodas, energy drinks, and protein shakes. CDS Refresh works with each client to develop a product plan that reflects employee tastes. Sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and healthier options can also be incorporated.
