Airports — Fast, Cashless Smart Markets for Travelers on Every Schedule

What Is an Airport Micro Market?

An airport micro market—also called a smart market, grab-and-go kiosk, or unattended retail solution—pairs an AI-secured cooler with open shelving inside secure-side concourses, gate pods, or lounges. Travelers tap a card or mobile wallet, select items, and walk away in under 30 seconds. Operators manage inventory, TSA-compliant deliveries, and restocking, allowing concessions teams to focus on higher-margin restaurants.

Traveler Pain Points We Solve

• Long queues: Limited concession staffing leads to 10-minute lines during peak boarding waves.

• Off-hour hunger: Red-eye and early-morning flights depart when many vendors are closed.

• Forgotten essentials: Headphones, chargers, neck pillows, OTC meds, and kids’ snacks are needed at the gate, not in pre-security shops.

Key Enhancements for Airport Authorities & Concessionaires

• High-throughput, cashless checkout reduces congestion and keeps boarding schedules on track.

• AI theft-prevention keeps shrinkage below 3 %, even in 24-hour, high-traffic areas.

• Travel-curated product mix—healthy snacks, premium beverages, tech accessories, and comfort items—updated with real-time sales data by flight bank.

• Compact footprint installs on unused wall segments or between gate seating; requires only a standard 120 V outlet and no plumbing.

Results You Can Expect

• Higher per-enplanement spend without expanding staffed concession space.

• Shorter queue times that boost Airport Service Quality (ASQ) scores.

• Lower labor costs vs. operating a manned convenience shop during low-traffic hours.
