The evolution of the vending machine

No other country has as many vending machines as Japan.
Not only juice and snacks, but also alcohol, cigarettes and many more.
There is also a vending machine with a raffle. If you win, you get another bottle, so you can't help praying in front of the vending machine.😁
Recently, cashless vending machines have also become available.

Vending machines that look after children
Around 2018, vending machines with security cameras were introduced to watch over children on their way to and from school.
Vending machines are ideal because they are everywhere and the cameras can be placed at children's eye level.
The video can only be played on a machine in the police station.

Disaster relief vending machines
An increasing number of vending machines also have the function of assisting in the event of a disaster.

In the event of a disaster, it can be unlocked and the beverage inside can be removed, or the handle can be turned to generate electricity and recharge the battery.

Vending machines attract attention with covid-19 pandemic.
The food service industry was hit hard by covid-19 pandemic, which forced it to refrain from operating.
A new type of vending machine has become the focus of attention as a way of connecting restaurants in this situation with people who want to enjoy the taste of their restaurant.

Ta-da!
A vending machine for frozen dumplings
Even when the shops are not open, the dumplings are waiting for you 24 hours a day!🤗✨đŸģ

This way you can avoid the risk of infection. I think we'll see a gradual increase in the number of these vending machines.
