From Smart Fridges to retail infrastructure

MAIKOZ builds and deploys AI-enabled Grab & Go Smart Fridge systems across Europe - forming one of the largest connected unattended retail networks in the region.

What started as automated retail innovation evolved into structured infrastructure.

Today, every MAIKOZ Smart Fridge is part of a living performance network.

  • Unmanned retail ownership should be simple. Predictable. Scalable.

    But it isn’t.

    Traditional vending is fragmented. Manual. Supplier-heavy. Dependent on experience and improvisation.

    Performance shouldn’t depend on luck. Or firefighting.

    So we built something different.

    We remove chaos. We engineer performance.

    To make unmanned retail ownership simple, predictable and scalable - from first location to full portfolio.

  • MAIKOZ works with a growing network of partners across Europe, enabling Smart Fridge and unmanned retail deployments in virtually any country. Through this network, entrepreneurs, operators, and retail or hospitality businesses gain access to local expertise, shared industry knowledge, and technology that goes beyond hardware to support successful automated retail concepts.

  • We are not:

    • A vending operator

    • A hardware reseller

    • A software-only platform

    • A partial solution

    We are:

    A fully integrated unmanned retail engine.

    One system. One blueprint. One performance model.

    Not pieces.

    One system.

  • MAIKOZ designs, funds, equips, connects and optimises unmanned retail businesses - end to end.

    Partners own the business and execute locally.

    We engineer performance.

    Our performance model is structured through four integrated layers:

    • Asset-backed deployment, CapEx free equipment.

    • Infrastructure participation

    • Optimisation & intelligence

    • Supply margin

    Structured revenue.

    Engineered performance.

    Scalable infrastructure.

    This is not a machine sale.

    It’s a performance system.

  • Success should be engineered - not improvised.

    Expertise belongs inside the system - not on the operator.

    If it feels manual, we fix it.

    If it doesn’t scale, we don’t ship.

    Proven beats promising.

    These principles guide every decision we make.

    Systems over heroics.

    Intelligence over intuition.

    Radical transparency.

    True partnership.
