Grig has a self-service kiosk with edible insects in Central Europe!

The first self-service kiosk in the Czech Republic offering insect products from the Grig company was opened in the Olympia shopping center in Brno. This innovative concept probably became the first of its kind not only in the Czech Republic, but perhaps also in the whole of Europe. Insects are a protein source that requires less land, water and food than traditional meat sources. This brings improvements for the environment while offering a healthy and balanced diet. Grig, a leading specialist in insect products, decided to present this new possibility to the public through a self-service kiosk in the Olympia shopping center in Brno. The self-service kiosk offers customers a simple and convenient way to purchase insect products. All you have to do is choose the products and then the customer pays for them using a QR code or a payment terminal. The kiosk is monitored by a camera system with artificial intelligence, which evaluates whether the customer has paid for the required number of products. The new kiosk offers a wide range of insect products, including dried insects or cricket chips. Insect products are also a good choice for those interested in a sustainable and healthy diet. We are excited to open the first self-service kiosk with insect products in Brno. We believe that this innovation will bring customers a new shopping experience. We are the food of the future, that's why we go with the times. We try to enable customers to shop unconventionally like in the future. I believe that in a few years, most stores will be self-service and the entire shopping process will be supervised by cameras with artificial intelligence. Insects are a great source of protein and nutrients while having a minimal negative impact on the environment. We are confident that our products will contribute to a wider awareness of the benefits of eating insects. The Olympia shopping center, which hosts this pioneering self-service kiosk, is one of the most popular shopping centers in Brno. The strategic location and high traffic ensure the availability of insect products to the general public. In the future, Grig plans to expand its scope and open more self-service kiosks with insect products in different parts of the Czech Republic. With growing awareness of the benefits of eating insects and public interest in sustainability and new nutrition options, this initiative is expected to find widespread response and support. Those interested in insect products can now go to the Olympia shopping center in Brno and visit the first self-service kiosk from the Grig company. This ground-breaking concept represents a new way of shopping and discovering innovative dining options. The opening of the first self-service kiosk with insect products in Brno represents a milestone not only for the Grig company, but also for the gastronomic scene in the Czech Republic. An innovative and ecological approach to nutrition is becoming an increasingly important topic in the food world.
