Sales increase 10x with a switch to robotic hot-meal kiosk

The kiosk stores meals from restaurant partners in a frozen compartment, heats them in three industrial-grade microwave ovens and uses two robotic arms to move them between compartments, with orders ready in five to seven minutes.

According to reporting from FastCasual.com's Publisher, Cherryh Cansler, Molloy University implemented a Primepick kiosk in November of 2025 and saw its sales surge to an approximated $1,000 per month. The kiosk serves hot meals from local restaurants, allowing students to pay with their university ID and meal plan.

Cansler writes: "Molloy paid nothing for the kiosk, its maintenance or restocking. The university had previously removed a smart fridge from another vendor because it wasn't being maintained to the school's standards. In its release, Primepick said its software tracks inventory automatically, diagnoses faults and sends maintenance alerts to limit technician visits."
