Keikyu EX Hotel Minatomirai Yokohama Installs Frozen Vending Machine ‘Dohiemon’
Sanden Retail Systems has installed a frozen vending machine ‘Dohiemon’ at the Keikyu EX Hotel Minatomirai Yokohama.
Aiming to attract leisure customers, the hotel has stocked products selected by its employees. Currently, ‘Pork Cutlet Curry’, ‘Kalbi Yakiniku Bowl’, ‘Gimbap’, ‘Donuts’, and ‘Kudzu Ice Cream’ are available, with the non-drip ‘Kudzu Ice Cream’ from Kamakura being particularly popular.
The hotel states that “Compared to room-temperature bread or rice balls, the availability of hot or cold items is well-received”; “Being frozen, there is no waste from spoilage”; “Product restocking is handled by the operation company, saving hotel employees the effort”; “Since the hotel is located on the upper floors of a building, guests appreciate not having to go down to the convenience store on the ground floor.”
Dohiemon is a vending machine that can sell a variety of frozen food sizes by combining four types of stockers.
