2019 Coffee Trends and What You Need to Know About Them
Every year different combinations and styles of coffee are created, and each year they get more creative. This year there are a few ongoing trends…
Contactless Solutions
Micro Markets
Connect & Pay Mobile App
Ever heard of the phrase “There’s an app for that” for just about everything? Well, that serves to be true. Yes, there is even an app for the micro markets! The Connect & Pay app by Canteen is available for free through the app store for Apple and Android users. Once you have downloaded the app and created your account, you may add money to it with your credit or debit card.
Then when you go to pay for something in the micro market, all you have to do is pull up the app and scan the barcode on it. The kiosk will scan the barcode within the app and process your purchase!
The best part about this app is that if you already made an account on the micro-market kiosk you can link it to the app!
Vending
PayRange Mobile App
Most of our vending machines offer the option to use the PayRange app to purchase our products. The PayRange app is available for free through the app store for Apple and Android smartphones. The app is very user friendly and makes payments at the vending machine easier and safer. You can add funds to your account with your credit or debit card, Apple Pay, or Android Pay. Your method of payment is securely saved in your account on your phone making it safer than swiping your card at the vending machine.
When you want to purchase something at a vending machine all you have to do is open the app, search for nearby machines then swipe up on the machine you want! Easy and convenient.
Coffee and Water
Crickler is providing contactless coffee solutions that are activated by a mobile device. Control your coffee experience from the palm of your hand with the use of contactless technology. Our Wi-Fi enabled machines have been providing data about the status of your machine for the last two years, and now, using the same technology, your associates can simply scan a QR code and control the machine from their mobile device.
