The new Gourmet hot food merchandiser from Jofemar has won a coveted "Vending Star" award in Germany. Awarded by the German vending association, the BDV, this innovative machine won the award in the category "Innovation in Vending". Distributed in the UK by the Company's subsidiary, Jofemar UK, the Gourmet is available in standard livery for operators and end-users to personalise themselves. Alternatively, they may purchase the machine as a complete system in "Fed Well" livery. Here, Jofemar has linked up with leading ready meals supplier, Pro-Pak Foods, who already supply many of the UK's leading supermarkets.
THE GOURMET
The Gourmet is an advanced hot food vending merchandiser with a built-in microwave oven, which is perfectly suited to self-service. Once a selection is made, the machine does the rest, reheating the food integrally in a high power microwave. The maximum time any hot product will take to dispense is 60 seconds and it may be used to vend all manner of hot food including ready meals, pizzas, hot sandwiches, baguettes, ciabattas and other "fresh from the oven" foodstuff. It is available with or without a refrigerator unit to serve ambient or chilled food.
The Gourmet merchandiser is incredibly versatile offering up to 22 selections. It is well placed to augment restaurant services in the workplace, for example by serving shift workers with hot food long after the canteen has closed. On small sites with fewer than, say, 80 employees it can even be used to replace a canteen completely.
PRO-PAK FOODS
Fed Well is a registered brand name of Pro-Pak, a leading Yorkshire-based manufacturer of ready meals. They manufacture a range of ambient meals with a shelf life of 18 months, which means that operators and end users do not require specialist chilled delivery vehicles or storage. A further benefit of long shelf life stock over frozen or refrigerated products is that there is no stock wastage, so a wider range of recipes may be carried. Dishes include such traditional British fare as Shepherd's pie and international dishes like Lasagne or Red Thai Curry.
Pro-Pak markets this range under the leading retail brand name of ‘Fed Well' and the Gourmet machine carries this livery with appetizing images of all the dishes together with a clear indication of price.
Speaking about the award, Managing Director of Jofemar UK, Vassilis Gotsis, was delighted to have won. "We believe that in the Gourmet we have a very unique machine indeed and it is really encouraging that this has been recognised in Germany. We believe that it will also do very well in the UK. Operators can choose to add their own livery or hook up to the Fed Well system we are promoting with our partners, Pro-Pak. We are now looking forward to showcasing the machine at Vendex."
