Process for managing calorie-consumption in vending machines of food products |
(57) The present finding concerns a process for managing calorie-consumption in vending
machines of food products, identified with the term snacks, i.e. food and drink consumed
by people of all ages, at any time of day, but mainly half way through the morning,
half way through the afternoon and after the evening meal. Such a process is characterised
in that the general operating programme of vending machines is added to with further
functions that allow the calorie content of the individual products for dispensing
to be memorised, in addition to the cost.
