The Toastyfresh AutoServe vending machine is an automated self-service food kiosk for convenience store retailers to integrate into their shops as a way to serve freshly prepared fare to customers.
The system is capable of being easily operated by staff or customers and reduces the amount of food handling to a minimum to enhance peace of mind amongst shoppers. The system is capable of crafting freshly grilled paninis, toastys, pastries and more, and boasts an intuitive user interface. The vending machine maintains a relatively compact footprint for easy integration into existing store floor plans.
Sales Director Matt Holman spoke on the Toastyfresh AutoServe vending machine saying, "Toastyfresh helps convenience stores increase their profits and capitalise on additional spend from existing customers. Our genuinely grilled ‘Freshly Toasted for You’ hot Toastyfresh food products means customers can enjoy delicious hot food on the move, every time."
