Kepak is expanding its hot food to go offering with the launch of a Hot Vend Kiosk.

The machine, which launches this month, dispenses one of its Rustlers’ Cook-in-Box burgers within 80 seconds of the user picking it.

It has a capacity for up to 52 of the Cook-in-Box range, as well as a touch screen. The machine has initially launched in London Luton and Stansted Airports, with the supplier saying it is aiming at expansion in areas such as mass transit, higher education and forecourts.
