U.S. pushes vegetarian vending machines to launch in specific demand areas

After a series of vending machines for drinks, lunches, and snacks flooded the streets, a startup company brought the popular vegetarian vending machines onto the streets of San Francisco. An American food startup company called leCupboard launched a vending machine that specializes in vegetarian food on the street. Looly, the parent company of leCupboard, was founded in 2013 by a Moroccan entrepreneur Lamiaa Bounahmidi. The company currently has US$2 million in funds and has attracted the attention of investors because of the idea of u200bu200ban automatic vegetarian vending machine. leCupboard originally opened a cafe with the same name in the Bay Area, which also sells vegetarian food. It also has six cooperative stores in the Bay Area. According to the operators of leCupboard, they expect to set up such vegetarian vending machines in two locations in Los Angeles. In San Francisco, there is an earlier vegetarian unmanned restaurant called Eatsa. In this restaurant, the first thing you see is not the food, the waiter, or the chef but the entire row of iPads. These iPads are used to allow customers to order food, but Eatsa offers very few salad categories, with only six choices. On the review page of the American version of Dianping Yelp, most people give good comments because of the 'future' brought by this unmanned restaurant, not the taste of the food. leCupboard wants to make a simple version of Eatsa, and the food provided by leCupboard looks more attractive. They offer lentil salad, multi-grain fruit pudding breakfast, zucchini noodles, walnut pesto, and well-packaged. Next, leCupboard said it will place vending machines in places where it is difficult to buy vegetarian food, such as near hospitals and offices. With the popularization of mobile electronic payments and the development of new retail, this form of unmanned vending machines has also been welcomed in China. Automatic coconut machines, automatic vegetable vending machines, automatic coffee machines, etc. have emerged one after another. The core value of vending machines is convenience and meeting the immediate needs of customers. Because sales usually do not increase linearly with the increase in area, unmanned vending machines provide a more cost-effective way for those who don’t need it. The products that customers think too long to buy provide channels. The above information is provided by the automatic vending machine. Please mark the reprint.
