The ambition for Kepak is to have the Hot Vend Kiosk situated in travel hubs and forecourts across the country later this year and into 2024.
On the successful launch evening and bringing the Hot Vend Kiosk to the UK first, Kepak’s, Carl Hunter said: “We couldn’t think of a more ideal place to launch this latest Kepak technology than being surrounded by transport from the past that operated 24/7.
The new Hot Vend Kiosk offers “an easy, fuss-free way to enjoy hot food on the go 24/7”, with touch screen pay and go and quick dispense technology.
“We know that consumers will continue to tighten the purse strings with the increased cost of living over the next few months, bringing with it an increased focus on workplace and vending solutions.
