freshpod launches first autonomous food kiosk

Each order receipt includes a breakdown of macros and calories.

freshpod has launched its first autonomous food kiosk at Ascent in Singapore Science Park, with plans for a broader rollout across Singapore.

The kiosk offers a quick, nutritious option for meals, featuring customisable or chef-curated bowls with over 20 fresh ingredients and seven specialty dressings, all stored in a temperature-controlled environment.

This launch follows a six-week pop-up that received positive feedback from customers seeking affordable and convenient meal options, according to freshpod co-founder and CEO Joe Ryan.

After over 200 machine trials and three years of refining the technology, the kiosks now feature an intuitive interface, allowing customers to choose or customise their meals.

The kiosks accept various payment options, including contactless methods, and provide order updates via text. freshpod also offers a membership with rewards and referral benefits.

Additionally, in line with Singapore’s Healthier SG initiative, each order includes a breakdown of macros and calories, helping customers manage their dietary goals.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
