Toasting time machine
22 September 2003 by Bruce Whitehall
AUTOCAFE, a complete bank of vending machines which includes HotBite toasted sandwiches and Hot Panini vending machines, was introduced on the HotBite stand. The company says it now has over 150 of its machines sited at locations such as Tesco, Orange call centres and Regus office centres as well as universities and hospitals.
For hospital sites, ways of ring-fencing a proportion of the cover price for each sandwich or pizza vended for re-investment back into the hospital are being examined. Such a scheme may also be extended to machines on university campus and halls of residence sites.
