Krispy Kreme customers in Charlotte, South Carolina in the US, can now use their mobile device to buy selected variety packs of doughnuts from an automated cash-free vending machine that is in operation 24 hours a day.
They order on a touchscreen and are then given the option of making a mobile payment or using their credit or debit card.
The first machine has been installed outside the chain’s headquarters, but the company aims “to provide freestanding machines in high-traffic locations such as airports and schools, where consumers will want the product but don’t need to have an attendant,” Krispy Kreme VP Levi Hetrick told Vending Times.
