Vending kiosk offers gourmet meals

April 28, 2016

Gourmet Stop has rolled out the Automat, a kiosk that can vend meals from a variety of local restaurants. The vending kiosk debuted in Dubai Media City in the United Arab Emirates, according to the press release.

The Automat is designed to hold 8 dishes at a time, and all of its containers and cutlery are designed to be 100 percent biodegradable.

"We are very happy to see Gourmet Stop open in Dubai Media City and we really feel this model will be so successful that it will spread to other places in Dubai and beyond," said a spokesperson from Nomadic Capital Ltd., parent company of Gourmet Stop. "This is nowhere near the vending machine meals many people have been exposed to that are poor quality.  In fact they are the exact opposite — delicious meals from local premium quality restaurants that are absolutely amazing. There's nothing like what we are offering in the region at all."

The kiosk holds a variety of meals and snacks from local restaurants such as vegetarian lasagna, butter chicken and minestrone soup, according to the release.
