The First Automat in the GCC. Fresh, Hot and Delicious Food for People on the Go

​​​​​Revolutionizing the concept of vending machine food, Nomadic Capital Limited has placed their first Automat at Gourmet Stop, which offers affordability and speed, with bold flavors, seasonal ingredients, and hearty portions.

Media City, Dubai, UAE – Nomadic Capital Limited, a company creating innovative projects and solutions, is the sole distributor of the revolutionary Automat, an eight-compartment, temperature controlled, up-scale vending machine. The Nomadic Capital team first saw the concept for the Automat in Amsterdam, the capital of The Netherlands. Coming back to Dubai, the team decided to launch their concept across the Gulf Cooperation Council, including the countries of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The company has customized the machine to suit the needs of the region.

Gourmet Stop, in Media City, Dubai, is the company’s first placement of the Automat with the potential for up to six more throughout 2016. The Automat provides delicious, healthy and filling food that is now easy and quick to access for people on the go. The machine allows locations to sell both hot and cold snacks and meals in a short amount of time without the need for a large staff preparing food or a fully-functioning kitchen. Unlike traditional vending machines that offer packaged goods, the Automat allows customers to see the food they are purchasing. Further, the Automat is easily replenished from the back of the machine, which ensures all food is fresh and at its best when purchased.

“Fresh and nutritious food doesn’t have to cost a fortune or take forever to prepare,” says Stephanie Khouri of Nomadic Capital Limited. “At Gourmet Stop, we've upped the taste factor alongside affordability and speed, with bold flavors, seasonal ingredients, and hearty portions. We want to dispel the idea that fast food is always junk food and that healthy food is always expensive for the consumer.”

By automating the process and reducing labor costs, the company can lower the cost of operating a restaurant, making it financially practical to purchase higher quality ingredients for meals. Automation also speeds up the food pick-up, allowing the restaurant to serve freshly-prepared meals quickly to customers and allowing customers to enjoy their meal instead of waiting for it.

The company aims to place the Automat in locations where people are on the go and don’t have much time for meals including office complexes, universities, hospitals and shopping malls. The Automat offers environmentally-friendly packaging and a range of food options to suit any taste. For more information, visit Nomadic.ae.
