Outside the Box Innovation in the Covid-19 Era!

Have you ever questioned why we use our hands to buy a drink from the vending machine?
Why not using foot instead???

With this Foot Pedal Vending Machine from DyDo DRINCO, you can buy a drink without touching the vending machine at all!

How?

Select your drink using a foot pedal button.
Lift the flap using a foot pedal and get your drink.

If you use Touchless Payment, you can buy your drink without touching the vending machine at all!!!

These days, we tend to think of using Mobile Apps for touchless solutions, but I like the idea of using physical "Foot Pedal"!
I know there is no need to have foot pedals if we simply use our elbow... but I think the innovative idea; 'vending machine' + 'foot pedal', will bring smile to people's face!
