In refrigerated food vending, long-term success depends on one thing:
whether the equipment can run stably, control losses, and support scalable operations.
Based on these criteria, we deployed WEIMI Refrigerated Locker Cabinets across several locations for chilled food sales and evaluated their performance over a three-month operating period.
Over three months of continuous operation, WEIMI cabinets demonstrated reliable temperature control and consistent performance.
No major refrigeration failures or temperature fluctuations were recorded.
Compared with previous equipment, product spoilage and write-offs were significantly reduced, which is critical for chilled foods with shorter shelf lives.
For operators, lower loss directly translates into higher net margins.
After three months of operation, the business performance showed visible improvement:
Average daily sales per unit increased steadily as chilled ready-to-eat items gained repeat customers
Inventory planning became more accurate, reducing overstock and unnecessary waste
Labor and inspection costs decreased, thanks to remote monitoring and centralized management
By the third month, individual machines reached a stable and predictable revenue model, providing the confidence to scale up to additional locations.
WEIMI’s management platform played a key role in day-to-day operations.
The backend system provides clear visibility into:
Fast-moving vs. slow-moving SKUs
Sales performance by time period and location
Inventory status at the locker level
This allowed us to optimize product mix based on real data rather than guesswork, improving turnover and overall operational efficiency.
The independent locker structure is well suited for refrigerated food sales:
Separate storage prevents odor mixing and product damage
Clear presentation improves customer trust and purchase confidence
Faster picking and restocking improve operational flow
Customer feedback indicates a higher perception of food safety and freshness, which positively impacts repeat purchases.
From offices and business parks to residential and semi-public spaces, WEIMI Refrigerated Locker Cabinets are easy to deploy and maintain.
The combination of hardware stability and centralized system control makes the solution highly suitable for replicable, multi-site operations.
Based on three months of real-world operation, WEIMI Refrigerated Locker Cabinets have proven to be a practical, commercially viable solution for chilled food vending.
They deliver:
Reliable refrigeration performance
Lower product loss
Clear operational data
A scalable business model
Stable equipment, transparent data, and a repeatable operating model are the key reasons we see WEIMI as a long-term partner in refrigerated food vending.
