Fries & Go
Fresh-fry vending machines with a Belgian supply chain
Fries & Go places vending machines that double-fry Belgian fries in vegetable oil and serve a cone in about 35 seconds, aimed at high-traffic hosts such as supermarkets, stations and cinemas needing 24/7 service. Each unit holds 20 kg of fries, is restocked daily and deep-cleaned every ten days, with distribution handled by food specialist Maison Despriet. Founders Arianne Polis and Yoko Uhoda hold regional exclusivity on the machines for the Benelux and Iberia.
