Abstract
An enclosed food and beverage stand may allow customers to create and purchase fresh and customizable self-serve refreshments such as whole fruit and vegetable smoothies, bubble teas, milkshakes, and baby food purees, for example. The stand may be installed in high pedestrian traffic areas such as transit centers, hiking trails, or parks, for example, and may utilize a secured access system for entry. A self-serve food and beverage service may use software which allows customers to input data such as dietary goals or preferred ingredients, to receive a tailored recipe. A self-serve food and beverage service may include a vending machine which dispenses fresh food and beverages and allows customers to conduct a single payment transaction for items dispensed from multiple machines.
