Love’s opens first robotic kiosk in California
The first Jamba by Blendid location has been deployed at one of the brand’s sites in Williams to offer drivers access to smoothies on the go.
Love’s Travel Stops has opened its first Jamba by Blendid autonomous robotic kiosk. Located at the rest area in one of its stations in Williams, California, the pilot location adds a refreshing and delicious option for motorists on the go.
The new kiosk offers visitors smoothie options inspired by the Jamba brand and powered by robotic food service solutions provider Blendid. The self-operating kiosk will be open 24/7 for motorists, allowing them to customise their orders by adjusting ingredient quantities or adding boosts directly through the Blendid app. They can order on-site or schedule a preferred pick-up time in advance.
“The official opening of our first Jamba by Blendid robotic kiosk is an exciting day for us and, hopefully, also for our guests! We hope customers visiting the Williams, California location enjoy this fun new way to quickly access refreshing, delicious smoothies on the go,” said Joe Cotton, Vice President of Food Services at Love’s.
The new kiosks will leverage Blendid’s contactless food automation platform foodOS to provide motorists with accessible food options made on-demand and customised to meet individual preferences at any time of day. Love's guests will also have the opportunity to meet the new persona behind Jamba by Blendid.
“We are dedicated to meeting the rising demand for refreshing quick-serve options; our robotic kiosks give consumers, and now motorists, fast, customizable and delicious food choices. We hope that our Jamba by Blendid kiosks set the standard for the future of food service at rest areas across the country,” added Vipin Jain, CEO and Co-founder of Blendid.
