The result of a five-year mission, Sweet Amanda’s hopes to deliver an enjoyable and entertaining automated shopping experience.
Sweet Amanda’s was created by New York based brothers Robert and Steven Bruck, who when they began the project in 2009 had 25 years’ experience of candy distribution between them. The company will be exhibiting at EAG International for the first time.
With a modular design, the machine features a central ordering touchscreen, as well as either eight or 16 clear cylinders filled with unwrapped or wrapped branded candy. Additional tubes at the side of the machine are loaded with capsules containing toys and novelties.
After viewing the available selection, the customer steps up to the display screen and selects any combination of candies and novelties. Payment is via cash or card. The purchaser can then watch the individual candies being loaded onto a conveyor belt and transported to a waiting cup. Toys and novelties roll from the vertical tubes into the pick-up compartment at the front of the machine.
“The machine is designed for high-traffic areas, particularly those where people have time on their hands. We’re getting outstanding results in shopping malls, airports and even a wax museum,” said Robert Bruck.
Sweet Amanda’s says it has received all required European certification for its candy vendor and is planning to use EAG as an opportunity to engage with interested operators from the UK and other European countries.
EAG International is taking place at the Excel exhibition centre in London between 13-15 January 2015. Sweet Amanda’s will be located on stand 416.
