EVOCA ADVERTORIAL With the eagerly anticipated


Festival R290 coming soon, Evoca advises customers to plan ahead


‘We’re getting calls about our forthcoming Festival R290 vending machine all the time, such is the interest in it’, Craig Jukes, Evoca UK Sales Director said. ‘There’s clearly a gap in the market and Festival is bridging that gap.’


T


he Festival R290 is being hailed as a smart solution for locations that are required to offer catering services 24/7. ‘Its not just a vending machine but a genuine


automatic canteen’, Craig said. The extreme flexibility of configuration allows the user to choose among snacks, drinks, fresh dishes, fruit and yoghurt and the enhanced electronics of Festival offers advanced machine and product management capabilities.


‘It’s the most energy efficient machine of its type we’ve


ever manufactured, thanks to the extremely efficient thermodynamic properties of the R290 coolant gas we are now using’, Craig said. Customers are focusing on Festival R290 as their solution of choice for locations such as hospitals and educational institutions.


‘I’d urge customers to make an expression of interest as soon


as they can, to reserve stock’, Craig added. ‘Our policy, as always, is ‘first come, first served’ and that’s just about Festival. The same applies to all our equipment at the moment. Honestly, there’s not much sitting on the shelves in the warehouse right now; so we’d advise everyone to please, think ahead.


Once upon a time, operators could order any vending or


coffee machine they wanted, and it would be delivered in a matter of days… That’s no longer the case. And it’s not just vending machines: the time between ordering a new vehicle, for example, and taking delivery of it is also unprecedented.


The lead times, they are a changin’… Consequently, detailed forward planning has become a vital part of business management; hence Evoca UK’s recommendation that its customers need to think further ahead than usual and order stock early. ‘It’s a practical measure that businesses can take to ensure that customer service levels don’t slip to the point that our customers, and our customers’ customers, feel let down’, Craig concluded.
