Italian Vending Machines Make Pizza
A vending machine, called Let’s Pizza, that not only sells pizza, but actually makes the pizza- whipping up “flour, water, tomato sauce and fresh ingredients to produce a piping hot pizza in about three minutes”- has been developed in the northern Italian city of Roverto, according to this article in the New York Times. Four varieties of pizza are available from the machine: margherita, bacon, ham, or fresh greens.
Hmmm….. the next step for Serious Pie?
The pizza vending machine is only the tip of the iceberg. In Milan, Brekky, a franchise chain, has opened the first of what is planned to be a large chain of restaurants similar to the historic American automat restaurant chain, Horn & Hardart. Unlike those older restaurants, where workers filled and refilled the machines as fast as customers pulled dishes like baked beans and creamed spinach out of them, these new-age Italian automats will have fully automatic vending machines stocked with cold dishes like salad and warm dishes like pasta.
European entrepeneurs believe that vending machines have a big future in these recessionary times where customers are looking for cheaper ways to eat out.
