The Best Snacks to Have for People Always on The Go

Posted on December 4, 2020 by Orsino Vending

Whether you live an active lifestyle or always feel like you’re running between meetings, you’re going to need to fuel your body throughout the day with healthy, nutritious snacks. When you’re constantly on the go, it’s not always easy to find healthy snack options. That’s when you run to your nearest vending machine!

To help prepare you for your next busy day, here is a list of healthy snack options you can eat on the go:

Jerky

If you’re looking for a high-protein snack, jerky is a great option! Whether it’s beef, chicken, or turkey, they all come in a portable vacuum-packed package that won’t take up a lot of space in your bag. Just make sure you always read the label. Some companies will add extra sugar and sodium to their products to enhance the taste.

Mixed Nuts

A portion of healthy mixed nuts is one of the best snacks that you can have. It’s protein-packed, and once opened, will last for weeks. Nuts are a heart-healthy snack option that is filled with unsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients.

Cheese Popcorn

Although it may not sound like the healthiest snack, air-popped popcorn covered in parmesan cheese is a lot healthier of an option than movie-theater butter-flavored popcorn. Also, popcorn is a great source of fiber, and it’s low in calories! If you have a cheesy craving, grab a bag of popcorn instead of chips.

Whole Grain Protein Bars

Protein bars are a great, convenient way to add carbs, protein, vitamins, and minerals to your diet. If you have an extra busy day, a healthy protein bar can help curb your appetite. They’re also great to consume before or after a workout.

When you’re choosing a protein bar, try looking for one that’s whole grain. Typically, whole grain bars are lower in sugar and contain more protein than carbohydrates!

Millennials Are Driving The Vending Machine Industry

Posted on March 30, 2016 by Joseph Orsino

Vending machines have been around for decades.

What once was a leading source of snacks and beverages during the work and school day, vending machines now have to compete with food delivery services and food trucks.

With the millennial generation (those coming into adulthood in the year 2000 and after) gaining control in a variety of industries including vending, we are learning how to market and advertise to this diverse group of people.

The millennial generation grew up in an era where technology was taking a dominant stance in how we live our lives. Computers, smartphones, and other modern technologies have been second nature to this group, rather than a life skill for those in the older generations, who took the time to catch up.

So, in terms of vending machines, what can we expect from millennials?

They are attracted to vending machines that offer fresh and affordable foods and beverages with just a quick touch of a button.

There is a decrease in desire for sugary snacks and beverages from a rising awareness of obesity and heart health impacted by unhealthy eating.

Cash carry is virtually non-existent with paying options such as Apple Pay, Google Wallet, credit and debit cards. Smart vending solutions would be to include a machine that allows for a variety of payment types.

Mobile paying options largely depend on the proper placement of vending machine, where wireless access is strongest.

The millennial generation is a great demographic group to test out new vending technologies on as they are not intimated by new technology, but rather encourage it.

As the vending industry works toward making vending machine purchases more mobile savvy, we can expect that any changes will be met with gratitude and increased sales.

Orsino Vending works continuously to provide the latest technology within our vending machines.

Serving a wide variety of industries, you can guarantee that we strive to make the purchase of vending machine items more convenient and the selections healthy and plentiful.

We all know the feeling; you’re starving or unbelievably thirsty and then you see it, the vending machine. You dig through your pockets, searching for change while running over as fast as you can. There you are, face pressed to the vending machine glass, when you realize you don’t have any change.

Never again will you have to search for change; Apple Pay is coming to thousands of locations all over the country.

USA Technologies, a manufacturer of vending machines, parking meters and other self-service kiosks, announced that it will be adding Apple Pay to 200,000 of its appliances. They have been using, NFC, the technology that powers a variety of mobile payments, for a decade; now, updating the machines won’t be difficult.

In the past year, Apple’s mobile payments have rapidly expanded; they recognize that many people no longer carry cash with them, so they are providing a mobile payment option in a convenient and secure way. With Apple Pay, we no longer have to worry about the lack of change in our pocket holding us back.
