"Japan has long loved unusual vending machines, including ones that serve cakes in a can and ramen, and 7-Eleven once tried out a mashed potato vending machine, but this new Chick-fil-A option actually seems pretty straightforward. The chicken chain hasn't officially announced its rollout, and there is seemingly only one operating right now, but local news sources around Augusta, Georgia, have been reporting."
"The vending machine is digital and does not accept cash. It accepts credit and debit cards, as well as some digital payment options like Apple Pay. The Chick-fil-A vending machine will be dispensing chicken all day and night; however, just as the chain is famously closed on Sunday, the machine will also not be available. This is likely because, as WRDW reports, it must be restocked by local Chick-fil-A employees every 18 hours."
Chick-fil-A is testing a digital vending machine at Wellstar MCG Health Medical Center in Augusta, Georgia. The machine operates 24 hours daily except Sundays and does not accept cash, only credit, debit, and digital payments such as Apple Pay. Local Chick-fil-A employees restock the machine approximately every 18 hours. The machine offers a limited selection aimed at hospital workers: two existing wraps (the Cool Wrap and the Southwest Veggie Wrap) and two types of potato chips. The machine is currently a single-location trial with no official national rollout announced. Placement at a hospital entrance has prompted attention from nearby residents not seeking medical care.
