Missfresh Ltd., a Chinese fresh food e-commerce and physical retail chain, recently deployed vending machines at more than 5,000 businesses in Beijing, such as offices, movie theaters, wedding studios and entertainment venues, according to a press release.

The company is able to replenish the machines multiple times a day, thanks to its network of warehouses across China.

Customers scan a QR code or use facial recognition to open the door of the machines, choose their preferred product(s) and then close the door to automatically complete payment.
