Automated convenience stores / vending machines In a nation where labor is très expensive and you may get fined for working for more than 35 hours a week, vending machines should do well. Case in point: Paris based Yatoo Partoo ('everything everywhere') exploits 31 massive refrigerated vending machines in France and Spain. They resemble mini-convenience stores with the shopkeeper replaced by a robotic hand, ready to take your order 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Selling everything from milk and cat food to toilet paper and toothpaste, Yatoo Partoo is an urban life-saver par excellence! Competition comes from Belgian Shop24, which now operates 160 stores in 7 European countries, with another 150 stores in the pipeline. Yatoo Partoo's and Shop24's only American counterpart, 'Shop2000', hails from Exton, Pennsylvania and operates only a handful of automated stores. All companies use real-time, online monitoring of performance, sales transactions, inventory and cash levels.
