Hey, Vending Hustlers!

Most people still think vending machines = chips & soda. But the game has changed.

Now, machines can bake fresh pizza, serve ramen, and even dish out steak—all on demand.

Here’s what we’re covering today:

• Pizza vending machines that bake pies in 3 minutes 🍕

• Ramen machines that cook fresh broth & noodles 🍜

• Steak & BBQ vending that serves fully cooked brisket 🥩

Hot food vending isn’t the future—it’s already here. And it’s a huge opportunity if you know what you’re doing.

Let’s dive in.

1. Pizza Vending Machines🍕

• Fresh dough, real toppings, baked in under 3 minutes.

• Some even use brick ovens for restaurant-quality pies.

• Best locations: College campuses, nightlife areas, gas stations.
