Healthy Reimbursable Meal VendingTurn your school’s vending machines into cashierless point-of-service lines

Healthy VendingTake advantage of Horizon’s vending technology to add POS lines without adding cashiers. Horizon’s Healthy Vending machines serve nutritious reimbursable meals or healthy a la carte items anywhere on campus, and students can use eligibilities and account balances for purchases so they no longer have to carry cash.

Healthy Vending also offers a great way to support your district’s wellness goals. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act passed recently will require schools to remove unhealthy food and drinks from their schools. Now is a perfect time to implement a healthy vending program to be operated by your school nutrition department. You already have products that meet the requirements, and you are the nutritional specialists in your district—not third-party firms interested only in the bottom line. Put your experience and nutritional knowledge to work, ensuring that the drink and snack machines on your campuses comply with nutritional standards.
