White Castle Vends Sliders from Automated Kiosks
24 Apr
Summary
- White Castle is launching automated kiosks in 1,000 new locations.
- These kiosks offer hot, on-demand sliders in places like hospitals and colleges.
- The rollout is accelerating through 2026 with potential for automated-only menu items.
White Castle is embracing its late-night "Night Castle" persona with a significant expansion of automated vending kiosks. The company is deploying 1,000 Crave & Go kiosks in nontraditional locations such as hospitals, corporate campuses, and universities.
These automated kiosks are designed to deliver hot food on demand, bringing White Castle's signature sliders to areas previously underserved by traditional restaurants. This initiative, in partnership with Automated Retail Technologies (ART), aims to meet cravings wherever they strike.
The rollout commenced recently and is projected to accelerate through 2026. Future plans may include developing exclusive menu items specifically for these automated platforms, further enhancing the convenience and accessibility of White Castle offerings.
This move leverages White Castle's affordability, offering a meal for a few dollars without additional delivery fees or tips. With 72% of its locations operating 24/7, the brand recognizes a strong demand for late-night snacks, making these kiosks a logical extension of its "Night Castle" energy.
