Essensautomaten

Food machines are innovative catering machines that have been regarded as the market leader in automated food provision in Germany since 2023. They were developed to provide healthy options at any time and to improve staff catering in a variety of settings. The idea arose from a founding team who had themselves had personal experience of inadequate catering.

Functions and range

Food machines offer a broad selection of healthy snacks and smaller dishes as well as drinks such as smoothies and shakes. The range can be flexibly adapted to different tastes. Thanks to integrated cooling, fresh products such as vegetables and cheese can also be sold. Payment by app supports various payment methods, while the telemetry function enables remote monitoring of stock and triggers automatic alerts in the event of faults or low stock.

Target groups and applications

Food machines are suitable as an attractive alternative to the traditional canteen for:

• Companies: improved staff catering without a traditional canteen
• Schools: balanced nutrition for pupils
• Sports clubs: healthy catering for club members

Trial and consultation offers

Introduction always begins with non-binding initial discussions to establish the requirements. Interested parties can take advantage of a three-month trial phase with no contractual commitment and can carry out a free trial meal for the team beforehand. Customers can choose between refurbished machines (three-month warranty) and new machines (two-year warranty). The range can be determined individually and may comprise standard layouts or specialised points of sale.
