Vending Machine Pizza
8th July 2014
This could be an excellent starter activity for a group discussion September?Ask students to consider whether this is a good idea? Is it worth the price? What is its USP? Wonderful for getting students who havent studied business before (and those who have) to start thinking about many business concepts. I find that students tend to engage well with the concept of enterprise when they find the idea interesting?! And who doesnt love pizza???
For any of you looking to introduce business in September with enterprise, this is an excellent place to start!
A pizza vending machine takes convenience food to a whole new level, delivering fresh pies to customers in just three minutes 24/7.
The Let's Pizza unit invented by Claudio Torghele, an entrepreneur from Rovereto, Italy, mixes flour and water together and presses the dough flat to create a 10.5 inch base.
Desired toppings are then added and the meal is flash-cooked in a high temperature infrared oven at 380 degrees Celsius
The Let's Pizza machine was unveiled by Mr Torghele in 2009 but has been slow to catch on.
The downside is that it is each one is the size of nearly three average vending machines.
It also retails for more than ten times the amount, at $32,000
The link includes a great video which could be used to stimulate a class discussion.
