Winter is finally over, and across the U.S., citizens have set their clocks forward for long spring and summer nights. Soon, lawn mowers will start buzzing as people began to tame revived lawns. Just as spring is a rebirth, this month on Kiosk Marketplace, we saw the rebirth of an older story on Pizza ATMs.
This month on Kiosk Marketplace, stories about food, retail and bill payments made the top of the list, including a follow-up story on the Pizza ATM, a kiosk that allows users to create custom pizzas. The owner is moving forward to introduce this kiosk in the U.S. Other stories on the top five include a story on bill payment kiosks and the role of micro markets in business.
