ModernRetail Says Vending Machines Are Entering Golden Age

ModernRetail suggests that vending machines are having a renaissance due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Noting that the post-COVID restaurant scene will be different, the author suggests that consumers may be more open to vending-based dining, recalling the popularity of the automat. While the author also noted that traditional vending companies are struggling, she noted that an automat-based restaurant is opening in New York City later this summer, ensuring a contactless experience for customers.
