An enclosed food and beverage stand may allow customers to create and purchase fresh and customizable self-serve refreshments such as whole fruit and vegetable smoothies, bubble teas, milkshakes, and baby food purees, for example. The stand may be installed in high pedestrian traffic areas such as transit centers, hiking trails, or parks, for example, and may utilize a secured access system for entry. A self-serve food and beverage service may use software which allows customers to input data such as dietary goals or preferred ingredients, to receive a tailored recipe. A self-serve food and beverage service may include a vending machine which dispenses fresh food and beverages and allows customers to conduct a single payment transaction for items dispensed from multiple machines.

A trolley for preparing and dispensing drinks, with individual drink selection such that the drinks are prepared from cold-water and hot-water tanks and extracts. The component parts of the drink are fed via connecting lines, by pumping units, by way of a dispensing unit and are filled into a drinking vessel. It is for this purpose that the dispensing unit can be adjusted from an upper, operating position into a lowered, storage position, in which it is incorporated in the construction of the trolley, beneath an upper boundary surface. The dispensing unit has a dispensing location with a plurality of feed openings in a dispensing head, which is arranged above an inserted drinking vessel, such that each feed opening is connected to, and controllable by, a separate feed line for hot water and cold water and extracts.

Serving lines (1) have ends that extend into a kitchen (2). At the sides of the serving lines (1) are seats (12), shelves (11), distribution ports sealed off with flaps (10), and equipment for remote ordering. Orders are transmitted to the kitchen (2), which is equipped with a terminal (8) and a printer (9). An order is prepared and placed, with the bill, on a tray (18) that is deposited at the end of a serving line, which automatically transports the tray to the position of the customer who originated the order. A flap (10) then opens temporarily for the tray to be removed. After eating, the customer goes to a till, presents the bill, pays and leaves. A processor monitors automatic operation of the system; it is linked to the till for the appropriate checks. Special serving lines are also proposed to which customers with prepaid cards have access, offering such customers remote payment services as well.

Restaurants featuring improved efficiency through use of pneumatic systems for delivery of fast food products from a kitchen area to a food delivery area, such as in an out building, can revolutionize the fast food industry. A customer order entry station is located on a first side of the restaurant, and an order unit transmits order entry information to an indicator located adjacent to the kitchen area. A pneumatic dispatch station located adjacent to the kitchen area is connected via a second dispatch unit located in the food delivery area to a pneumatic tube. Upon the taking of a customer's order, the order entry information is acted upon by food service personnel who prepare food products such as sandwiches and load them into the kitchen area dispatch station for transport to the food delivery area. The food products reach the customer who has, by this time, navigated around the restaurant to the out building. Soft drink and french fry stations may be located in the out building, so that only sandwiches and other fast food products which can withstand substantial shock need be transported in the pneumatic food carrier.

Merchandising apparatus and method wherein there is provided an upstanding hollow structure which is multi-sided and has grid walls defining a series of compartments. The structure has vertical columns surrounding it and guiding robot carriages carrying robots which can reach into the compartments, withdraw articles and place them onto a descent conveyor. The descent conveyor lowers the articles onto a transfer conveyor which transfers them to a packing station. The requirements of a customer are determined at an order station by examination of a visual display unit. The order station can be operated from within a vehicle and the customer need not leave his vehicle until the order has been packed at the packing station. Loading of the compartments of the structure is effected from a storage basement by an elevator moving through a floor opening and upwardly within the hollow structure.
