Reportedly 100 million people visit a vending machine every day in America. Farmer’s Fridge vending machines are designed to make finding fresh healthy meals as easy as finding a candy bar. What started in 2013 with a single machine in a Chicago Food Court, has grown to more than 400 fridges in airports, hospitals, office buildings, and universities. On this episode of Tech Bites, host Jennifer Leuzzi talks with Farmer’s Fridge founder and CEO, Luke Saunders, about how critical algorithms and technology have been to the growth of the business and how the company pivoted during the pandemic to delivery and expanded retail.
