Three French fries vending machines were installed in May by the company “Les mijotés portés”, based in Chef-Boutonne. These machines, placed in strategic areas in Miss , Sauze-Vaussais And Savigne allow customers to get hot fries in minutes.
Takeaway fries, 24/7
The principle is simple: you choose your options (with or without salt, with or without ketchup), We pay 3 euros, and in four minutes, the frozen fries are ready . Dipped in oil to order, they come out golden and crispy. “I didn’t expect it to be this good. My wife was skeptical, but I’m pleasantly surprised” recognizes Guillaume who lives near Sauzé-Vaussais. “It’s like home, but without the dishes!”
Varied options for snacking
In addition to fries, another vending machine offers burgers , croque-monsieur Or salads . “It’s convenient when you want to eat quickly and everything is closed.” explains Olivia, who opted for a wrap. “We are trying to meet the local demand for snacking” says Sylvain Ardillon. The products are prepared locally or delivered by a baker from Chef-Boutonne.
A concept that has a price
The company is giving itself a year to evaluate the success of the concept. Sylvain Ardillon hopes to reach the 20 portions sold per day and per machine to make the operation profitable, because each distributor costs around 1,000 euros per month. “It’s a solution for people in a hurry, but we aim for quality.”
