Local frozen food producer EasyTasty recently put Taiwan's first hot food vending machines on the market. Developed with proprietary technologies after six years of research, each machine costs NT$400,000 ($13,500). They currently provide three kinds of cutlet-and-rice dishes, all priced at around NT$50, which the company said are cheaper than in supermarkets and convenient stores. Consumers can expect more sorts of dishes such as noodles and pizza, said a statement from EasyTasty.
