In use at leading hotels & operators
Staff are becoming scarcer, costs are rising, and in many places supply is simply lacking. Autonomous micromarkets address exactly this.
Vacancies in hospitality, around 20% in care. Staff for sales and night operations are barely to be found any more.
Staff, energy and space costs weigh on low-margin locations. Staff-free operation noticeably reduces running costs.
Rural areas and off-peak times are often underserved. 24/7 micromarkets close the gap — even where conventional shops aren't viable.
Unattended operation requires reliable protection. AI camera surveillance secures the shop around the clock.
Standardised system modules come together to form an individual mini-market: from a compact self-service point to a fully equipped local store. You decide on the range, format and location — we supply the technology, AI and operation.
Our AI building blocks are the core of every 24/7 micromarket: optimal prices, reliable security, legally compliant processes and the right range — automated and data-driven.
Dynamic & smart pricing adjusts prices in a data-based way to demand, time of day and stock — for maximum margin with minimal write-offs.
Smart pricingIntelligent camera surveillance analyses the shop around the clock, detects anomalies in real time and raises the alarm automatically — with no security staff at all.
Video AI · 24/7AI-based detection identifies suspicious behaviour early and prevents shrinkage — for safe, unattended operation.
Loss preventionAutomatic, AI-based age verification when selling age-restricted products — fully compliant with the German Youth Protection Act (JuSchG).

Insights, analyses and practical know-how on 24/7 micromarkets, autonomous village shops and staff-free retail — from our blog.
Local supply in rural areas faces structural challenges in many places. Traditional village shops are disappearing and investment in new retail space is costly — containerised solutions create new room for manoeuvre here.

24/7 supply without staff is often reduced to mini-markets or kiosk solutions. In reality, the range of applications goes far beyond that — with clear opportunities, but also aspects operators should keep in mind.

The question of costs is one of the first prospective customers ask. At the same time, it is often misunderstood — we show which factors really count and at what point operation pays off.

Where conventional shops are no longer viable, autonomous village shops secure local supply in rural areas — staff-free, around the clock and economically viable even with small customer numbers.

An autonomous 24/7 shop — also called a micromarket, mini-market or smart store — is a staff-free retail space that is open around the clock. Customers pick up the goods themselves and pay cashlessly at the self-service checkout terminal. Access, age verification, price management and security surveillance are handled by AI building blocks, so no sales staff are needed on site.
Costs depend on the footprint, the range and the chosen modules. For a quick start, we offer shop flat-rate packages as complete bundles in several sizes, with the technology, AI building blocks and fittings all from a single source. Through financing solutions such as hire purchase, you can get started without a large initial investment. In a free 15-minute initial consultation, we calculate your specific case in concrete terms.
Our systems are in use across ten fields of application: hospitality (24/7 hotel shop instead of a minibar), care and healthcare, rural areas and municipalities (autonomous village shops), camping and leisure, companies and businesses (company kiosk), Bundeswehr locations and barracks, petrol stations and transport, education and campus, theme parks as well as bricks-and-mortar retail.
Our self-service checkout terminals include AI-based age verification. Age-restricted items are detected at checkout and only released after successful verification — compliant with the requirements of the Youth Protection Act and without any staff present.
Access control, camera surveillance and AI-based theft prevention safeguard operation around the clock. Anomalies are detected and reported automatically, and access can be restricted to authorised groups such as hotel guests, employees or residents.
Because the system is modular, it can be adapted to almost any space — from a few square metres in a hotel lobby to a larger sales floor. If no suitable space is available, the HT mobile cube is an alternative as a stand-alone shop cube.
Because we work with standardised system modules, setup is far quicker than with conventional shopfitting. We offer three tiered installation packages — from delivery only to turnkey commissioning on site.
Yes. On request, we take over running the shop, including monitoring, restocking and category management. This gives you a live 24/7 market without having to build up your own staff or merchandise management.
