Problems and goals

Until now, vending machines installed in coffee bars took a lot of time for waiters to buy cigarettes on behalf of guests, since there was no possibility for guests to purchase cigarettes themselves. Due to this problem, the automation of the entire system was very necessary to facilitate the purchase without the presence of a waiter.

Solution

This system has improved the operation of the vending machines, relieved the staff of the cafe, because now the guests of the cafe can purchase products from the vending machines themselves.
