6 Reasons You May Need Autonomous Food Merchandising

Autonomous. It’s a big word we’ve been hearing a lot of lately, as technology evolves to meet ongoing labor issues across industries. 

In the foodservice world, you can now provide customers with access to fresh food 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and no staff required, with autonomous food merchandising.

How do you decide if autonomous merchandising is a good fit for your operation?



If your business fits two or more of the following criteria, autonomous food merchandising is worth a serious look.


1. Foodservice isn’t your primary business.


Employees, students, hotel guests, and the like often prioritize the speed and convenience that a self-serve merchandiser can provide.


2. Your staff is small or frequently changing.

No staff are needed to complete transactions, so your team can focus on their primary responsibilities.


3. Your customers have off-peak eating habits.


Late hotel arrivals, and students or employees working late into the night all benefit from 24/7 food availability.  


4. Your facility has limited onsite dining options with short hours of operation.


Few things are worse than being really hungry and arriving, or finally having time to eat, right after the restaurant closes. Having an autonomous option keeps customers happy while bringing in revenue during non-operating hours.





5. A large percentage of your customers are by themselves.  


A quick bite in a lobby or lounge area while traveling, studying, or taking a work break is what many prefer over dining solo in a restaurant.





6. Your facility is in a location with limited-to-no nearby dining options.


In the absence of other alternatives, your hungry customers will sincerely appreciate having an onsite option for food and beverages.
