There are now new
vending machines in Chicago, IL known as Farmer’s Fridge, which serve healthy
meal options through a fresh and efficient way. The creation of these innovative
machines is different than the standard vending machines because they have
increased and satisfied the consumers expectations of convenient quality.
Farmer’s Fridge serves a variety of meals from parfaits, sandwiches, to salads,
bowls, and even more. Not only do they ensure that their products are safe to
consume by going through specific procedures, they also make, deliver, and sell
their products at a quicker pace than grocery-store prepared food.
There is also another
vending machine known as Fresh Bowl which is like Farmer’s Fridge. As a part of
their missions, they have incorporated a built-in recycling bin so that their
consumers can dispose of the glass jar they receive in order to reduce food
packaging waste. In doing so, every time the consumer recycles their jar, they receive
$2 in credit for their next purchase. This does not only promote a healthier
environment, but it also benefits the company by providing great service for
the needs of their target market.
I found this article
truly interesting because the creation of these vending machines has introduced
a new perspective of what vending machines are. With this innovative idea
consumers will look forward to purchasing products from a machine that does not
serve basic snacks and junk food but rather one that provides a healthy, fresh,
and convenient meal.
This is so cool! Definitely a new way to promote healthy eating while targeting busy customers.
ReplyDeleteThis could be an even bigger industry now with the pandemic because its easier to sanitize and there's no contact with other people. Or I wonder if it might really not take off now because people are going to want to support restaurants when they open.
