HotLogic SmartShelf unattended hot-meal system

The HotLogic SmartShelf unattended hot-meal system can redefine how operators serve hot meals without kitchens or staffing. The 32-shelf oven offers an innovative approach to vending, micro-market and foodservice automation.

Built on HotLogic’s patented SmartShelf heating technology, this 32-shelf, rugged, unattended platform enables consistent, food-safe, high quality hot meals 24/7 in a variety of workplace environments.

Each of the unit’s 32 independently heated shelves uses precision thermal control to heat and hold ready-to-eat food at proper serving temperatures for extended periods, eliminating reliance on microwaves, ovens, guest restaurants or labor-intensive hot stations.

Available with or without an integrated POS, and featuring advanced access control and intuitive software-assisted shelving, the HL32 empowers vending and micro market operators to unlock a profitable new hot-meal revenue stream. Consumers benefit from convenient, affordable meals without long lines or wait times, improving productivity and satisfaction across multiple shifts.

Designed for both attended and unattended environments, the HotLogic SmartShelf system delivers repeatable revenue through a modern hardware-plus-meals model.

The HotLogic SmartShelf unattended hot-meal system was nominated for Automatic Merchandiser’s 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards, which recognize the Best New Products for Convenience Services in 2025.
