The Salad Station Brings Innovative Salad-Making Vending Machines to Houston
Say hello to The Salad Station’s new salad-making robots––Sally.
Restaurants have been on a mission recently to take their tech to a new level. The Salad Station recently announced its new partnership with RoboFresh CEO Joe Benson to bring 100 salad vending machines to Houston over the next three years, according to the Houston Chronicle.
With just the push of a couple buttons, these innovative salad-making machines will have a fresh salad ready for customers to enjoy in seconds. The Salad Station robots––commonly referred to as Sally’s––haven been seen in medical centers, business offices, apartment complexes and transportation venues to provide a fast and healthy meal for people on the go.
“We’re seeing a nationwide change in eating habits,” said The Salad Station’s head of franchise development John Mike Heroman. “We see growth as people are looking for healthy meal options.”
Another fast casual chain that’s keeping up with the digital age is McDonald’s. The Big Mac joint introduced its first to-go-only location in London that strictly serves food without the seating.
Along with Houston, The Salad Station plans to target other suburban cities in Texas such as Sugar Land, Pearland, Webster, Pasadena, Hockley and The Woodlands.
“In terms of development, our goal is to bring 15 Salad Station restaurants to Houston in the next three years with a market capacity of 40+ locations,” said Heroman.
