Sliders on demand via automated kiosk at RSW
White Castle foodie?
The chain has added a new automated kiosk at Southwest Florida International Airport where travelers can enjoy “freshly heated, ready-to-eat beef and chicken Sliders on demand.”
The fully automated unit features White Castle retail Sliders, including the iconic 100% beef Original Slider, Classic Cheese Sliders, the Cheddar Bacon Cheese Slider, and the Chicken & Cheese Slider.
“Orders are prepared hot and ready for guests on demand, with minimal wait,” a release announcing the kiosk states.
The White Castle kiosk is part of a partnership with Just Baked, an automated food kiosk company, and Evolvending, an operator of automated dining solutions in travel hubs. The partnership is evolving to new sites with this latest launch is located within RSW’s renovated terminal food court.
The court is transitioning to a vending-focused dining model.
“Airports are all about speed, convenience and reliability, and this automated kiosk at RSW lets us deliver the White Castle experience in a world-class facility in a way that fits how people travel today,” said Sarah Paulson, director of retail marketing, innovation, and licensing at White Castle in the release. “By combining automation with our iconic Sliders thanks to our partnership with Just Baked and Evolvending, we’re meeting travelers where they are and rethinking what airport dining can look like.”
“We’re excited to launch our exclusive partnership with White Castle at Southwest Florida International Airport,” said Valentina Ellison, CEO of Evolvending. “This location showcases the future of airport dining through its unique design and restaurant-quality food delivered through automation.”
The installation at RSW builds on White Castle’s growing presence in airport environments. In addition to Fort Myers, White Castle operates an automated kiosk at Boston Logan International Airport and plans to expand its kiosk footprint to additional airports across the U.S., extending the brand’s reach to travelers in high-traffic transportation hubs and reinforcing its focus on accessibility in on-the-go settings.
White Castle’s lineup of retail Sliders is available for purchase at grocery and club stores locally and in all 50 states. These Sliders are made with the same ingredients — 100% beef patty steamed on a bed of onions — as the Sliders served in restaurants.
