[Working Case] Automated Pizza Vending Machine in Lithuania
In the vibrant capital city of Vilnius, Lithuania, a forward-thinking food entrepreneur, Ms. Greta Rimkutė, was on a mission to revolutionize urban dining. As the founder of Urban Crust, a startup focused on delivering fresh, gourmet food in under 5 minutes, she envisioned a network of smart food kiosks across the city. But her biggest challenge? Finding a reliable, high-quality automated solution that could consistently serve delicious, oven-fresh pizza without requiring a full kitchen or staff.
By late 2024, after months of research and testing various vending technologies across Europe, Greta discovered the Foodline Automated Pizza Vending Machine—a cutting-edge, fully autonomous system designed for 24/7 operation, precision cooking, and minimal maintenance.
In January 2025, two units arrived in Vilnius with express shipping and online support from Foodline’s team. Within 48 hours, they were operational—one at Vilnius Tech Park and the other at the central railway station.
The response was immediate. Customers were drawn to the transparent cooking process: watching the robotic arm stretch dough, add toppings, and bake the pizza in a hybrid infrared-convection oven. More importantly, the taste exceeded expectations.
“It smells like a real pizzeria,” said one commuter. “And it’s ready in five minutes—perfect for lunch.”
Each machine averaged 95 pizzas sold per day in the first month, with a 4.8/5 customer rating. Labor costs dropped by 70% compared to a traditional kiosk, and ingredient waste stayed under 3% thanks to predictive analytics.
Encouraged by the results, Greta plans to deploy five more units across Kaunas and Klaipėda by Q3 2025 and is exploring partnerships with universities and event venues.
“This isn’t just a vending machine—it’s a new kind of food experience. Foodline gave me the technology to scale fast, stay consistent, and keep quality high. My dream was to make gourmet pizza accessible to everyone, anytime. Now, it’s real.”
