Bavarians flying home to an barren kitchen needn't worry. While waiting for their luggage to come down the conveyor belt at [Munich Airport's Terminal 2](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popups-at-airport-hubs), they can [order food off a billboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-retail-technologies) and pick it up on their way out.

The billboard shows a pan-Asian menu and Mangostin Restaurant's phone number. "Empty fridge? Order now and pick up your food on Level 5 in 10 minutes. It couldn't be simpler!" Nothing like a bit of daily lubricant to make consumers' busy lives easier.

(Incidentally, Munich Airport is no stranger to innovation. It's been home to the world's first [airport microbrewery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/distillery-kitchen) since 2003, as well as a boutique specializing in erotica.)
