With the increasing demand for instant dining in the United States, traditional hot food stores are facing problems such as high costs, limited operating hours, and low dining efficiency. Haloo customizes 10 baking hot food vending machines for American customers and deploys them in multiple scenarios such as commercial centers, campuses, high-speed rail stations, and office parks, achieving 24-hour unmanned operation.
This project not only showcases Haloo's research and manufacturing capabilities in the field of intelligent catering vending equipment, but also further verifies the broad application prospects of hot food vending machines in overseas markets.
Project background: The client hopes to build a 24/7 unmanned hot food supply network
This client has been engaged in the operation of convenient catering services for a long time and owns multiple catering outlets. As labor costs continue to rise and consumer demand for "buy and eat" products continues to increase, customers hope to achieve:
▪ 24-hour unmanned sales operation
▪ Reduce labor input and management costs
▪ Improve dining efficiency and user experience
▪ Expand the coverage of hot food sales
▪ Realize standardized food quality
After comparing multiple equipment suppliers, the customer ultimately chose to collaborate with Haloo to customize and develop an intelligent baking hot food vending machine suitable for the US market.

Customized Project 1: Exclusive brand appearance design to enhance market recognition
Customers hope that the equipment can not only be a vending machine, but also an important carrier for brand promotion.
The Haloo design team used high saturation yellow as the main visual color tone based on the client's brand positioning, and combined it with hot food product images for full body film design, making the equipment highly visually attractive in scenarios such as shopping malls, campuses, and high-speed rail stations.
The customized content includes:
▪ Brand logo display design
▪ Whole machine advertising sticker design
▪ Hot food themed visual packaging
▪ Brand exclusive UI interface design
▪ Customized advertising page
After the device was launched, the distinctive brand image effectively increased consumers' attention and purchase conversion rate.
Customization project 2: Customization of multi category hot food aisle system
The customer sells a wide variety of products, including pizza, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, croissants, French fries, chicken skewers, and hamburgers
Due to significant differences in packaging sizes of different products, traditional freight lanes are difficult to accommodate.
In response to this demand, the Haloo R&D team has re planned the internal cargo channel layout and designed customized cargo channel solutions for customers to achieve mixed sales of different specifications of food.
The advantages include:
▪ Improve space utilization efficiency
▪ Increase SKU quantity
▪ Reduce the risk of card cargo
▪ Improve replenishment efficiency
The ultimate goal is to store approximately 80 hot food products on a single machine, greatly improving the operational capabilities of the equipment.
Customized project 3: Development of dual heating mode to achieve optimal food taste
American consumers have high demands for the taste of hot food, and relying solely on a single heating method is difficult to meet different food needs.
For this purpose, Haloo has specially configured for customers:
Microwave heating system
Suitable for: hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, rice products
Quickly increase the temperature of the food center.
Baking heating system
Suitable for: pizza, croissants, fried chicken, baked goods
Effectively maintain the crispy texture of food skin.
Simultaneously supporting:
Heating temperature can be freely set
Heating time can be freely set
Ensure that every food is in its optimal state for consumption.
Customized Project 4: Integration of Local Payment Systems in the United States
In order to meet the payment habits of local consumers, customers have requested support for multiple payment methods.
Haloo reserves standard payment interfaces for devices to achieve compatibility with mainstream payment systems in the United States, including:
▪ Credit card payment
▪ Debit Cards Accepted
▪ NFC contactless payment
▪ Apple Pay
▪ Google Pay
Consumers do not need to download additional apps to complete purchases, significantly reducing the threshold for use.

Haloo has conducted a special upgrade for the project:
Thickened sheet metal body
The whole machine is made of high-strength thickened sheet metal to improve its impact resistance.
Double layer protection design
Effectively reduce the entry of dust and moisture into the interior of the equipment.
