For the bored traveller, some taxis and ride-hailing vehicles offer in-car karaoke so you can recreate Carpool Karaoke with your driver or a friend. If that’s too extreme, mobility vending offers snack and drink options for consumers on-the-go. With busy schedules and a fast-paced lifestyle, consumers are on the lookout for convenient snacking options, which mobility vending provides.
Whether it’s a simple snack, drink, or heated ready-to-eat meals, vending machines have come a long way. These can usually be spotted in areas with foot traffic, like train stations or busy streets. Because of the new culture of paying contactless, newer machines have touch-screen tech and multiple payment options, such as prepaid cards (varying per country) and credit cards!
On the way to a restaurant but still feeling snackish? In some countries, in-car options of food & beverages are sold in taxis or ride-hailing services, opening an extra revenue stream to cab drivers and fleet owners alike. Laws, availability vary in countries but drivers decide whether to accept cash or contactless payment — some even offering passengers to Pay What They Want, in terms of pricing.
Hungry but don’t want to go out or wait for food? In some cases, the food goes to you. Food trucks, carts allow for mobility on F&B businesses’ end. Food trucks are usually operated by medium to enterprise businesses, either as another revenue stream or their main way of operating. Also offering flexibility, whether businesses choose to open everyday, public events, or even private catering. Food carts offer a similar experience on a smaller scale, with offerings likely being street or fast food.
Mobility vending is here to stay, even if its other forms aren’t popular with the people yet. Food is an experience, which is why dining in — interiors, ambience, offerings — is continuously improved by businesses; however, like food, its consumers are diverse.
