Smart Popcorn Vending Machine

Make a cup of warm, comforting popcorn.

  Hubei JiLi Food Co., Ltd., in collaboration with Wuhan Jiapin Tianxia Technology Co., Ltd., has launched a brand-new smart, automated popcorn vending machine. The machine supports scan-to-buy, offers six flavor options, keeps the popcorn at an optimal temperature upon dispensing, and is equipped with an advertising screen, free fast phone charging, and movie-ticket printing capabilities. This device boasts seven key features: “independently developed, innovative product, constant-temperature system, intelligent convenience, affordable pricing, public-service orientation, and guaranteed minimum returns.” Technological innovation empowered by AI: IoT data enables real-time monitoring of SKU sell-through rates, while AI algorithms automatically optimize product assortments, detect inventory levels, and trigger timely restocking. The vending machine’s real-time monitoring and optimization ensure precise supply-demand matching, promote the survival of the fittest, and enhance product sales efficiency. In terms of intelligent operations and maintenance, remote monitoring of temperature, inventory, and fault alerts with rapid response allows for automatic generation of replenishment lists and supports third-party instant delivery integration, boosting O&M response efficiency by 200%. The intelligent O&M of self-service vending machines not only reduces O&M costs and management complexity but also enhances scalability, lowers expansion costs, and mitigates market risks. JiLi Food’s streamlined supply-chain advantages ensure cost optimization and brand support. Our “Five Zeros” policy for franchise partnerships—zero franchise fee, zero equipment-maintenance fee, zero system charge, zero raw-material purchase fee, and zero equipment-purchase risk—provides tremendous convenience to franchisees. We also pledge to donate one cent to the Hubei Project Hope for every cup of popcorn sold. The smart, automated popcorn vending machine is more than just a device for selling delicious popcorn; it will also serve as a bond of compassion.

The Commercial Value of Vending Machines

Low investment pressure

Vending machines have low upfront costs—under RMB 20,000—and require no renovation or staffing, making them far more affordable than a 40-square-meter retail store.

24/7 revenue generation

Break through operating hour restrictions to generate 30%–45% of revenue at night, enabling continuous utilization of the nighttime economy even with unmanned operations.

High space efficiency in micro-spaces

Self-service vending machines occupy minimal space while delivering exceptional per-square-meter efficiency—1.1 square meters can generate the same revenue as 40 square meters—and their monthly per-square-meter performance in commercial districts far surpasses that of traditional convenience stores.

Scene Integration, Cross-Border Collaboration

Self-service vending machines are being deployed in enclosed environments, expanding into markets that traditional stores struggle to reach and increasing consumer touchpoints.
