摘要：
An automated sliced food vending kiosk provides a sanitary, sealed environment for storing, slicing, packaging, and dispensing sliced food items, such as deli meats and cheeses. Orders may be customized through a user interface, and be scheduled for preparation to be completed coincidental with an expected approximate retrieval time. In some examples, wireless capability detects customer arrival, which is used as a trigger to begin preparing an earlier-submitted order. Food safety may be improved by correlating food item chubs with customer profiles, to provide alert recipient information, if needed. The kiosk may be tied in with retail inventory management for automated reordering of food items and reconciling slicing operations with sales and inventory levels.
