Williams envisions the PicoCooler opening up the micro market
concept to public locations, beyond
traditional industrial and office locations. Victoria Canteen is installing
its PicoCooler in a high-traffic public
area at a hospital. The cooler will be
stocked with fresh foods like sandwiches, wraps and salads, along with
grab-heat-go items like tacos, burgers
and meal platters.
" The fresh-food cooler will complement the hospital's manual cafeteria
that is not open 24 hours, " Williams
said. " It will be part of a traditional
vending installation but offer a new
way for customers to buy food. "
The PicoCooler will remain locked
and only opens when a patron makes a
payment. Behind the cooler door, Vic-

toria's fresh food items will be secured
and properly refrigerated, reducing
spoilage and revenue loss.
Williams sees the PicoCooler as a
game-changer for operators.
The PicoCooler is not a cooler
itself, but rather a compact device
that's installed on a cooler's door, thus
transforming the refrigerated case
into a smart commercial appliance. It
features a compact screen that displays
transaction messages, along with
optional promotional content. A PicoCooler device can also process payments for adjacent goods outside of
it; customers simply scan and pay for
a product at the cooler. It's equipped
with a camera, too.
The PicoCooler is the controlledaccess cooler application for 365's

PicoPlatform, which also includes the
PicoVend and new PicoVend Mini -
the platform's vending functionality
and new wave of 365 vending technologies that easily attach to traditional
vending machines and provide various
payment options such as the 365Pay
app and support 4G connectivity.
365 is excited about other innovative applications coming soon. The
expanding 365 PicoPlatform will not
only provide operators with more
revenue opportunities, but it will also
offer today's clients the safe self-service
conveniences they demand.
" The COVID-19 pandemic really
revealed how capable micro markets
can be, " Williams observed. " As cafeteria sites were shuttered, growth in the
market sector exploded. " ■
