24/7 autonomous store for hotels

    A Corner Store in the lobby: your guests buy at 2 am without anyone having to serve them.

    // The challenge

    Guests need something out of hours and the front desk can't act as a shop. A minibar doesn't cover everything and a part of the lobby earns nothing.
