Separated Installation Support: Installation support is no longer built into the unit price. Instead, it’s offered as an optional, low flat fee that covers our travel costs. Pay it when you want hands-on setup and training—or waive it for units you prefer to install yourself.
Follow along as we detail every stage of the PizzaForno vending machine installation, from site preparation to the final touches.
Our team coordinates with you to help select a great location for your new machine. Once the location is confirmed, the PizzaForno team approves and prepares the installation site, ensuring it meets all the necessary power and space requirements. This phase is crucial for a smooth setup and efficient operation.
On the installation day, the pizza vending machine is delivered directly to the site. Using specialized equipment, the team skillfully maneuvers and positions the machine in its designated spot. Depending on the type of machine (indoor, outdoor, or ATM) the installation process will slightly vary.
Our trained technicians connect the machine to power sources and configure all necessary hardware components. Additionally, branding elements are added to enhance the visual appeal, attract customers, and bring the machine to life.
Once installed, the machine undergoes rigorous testing to ensure everything is working perfectly. The calibration process involves adjusting the machine's dynamic cooking settings, ensuring the refrigeration unit is working, and integrating payment terminals, among several other factors. Afterward, the machine is set up and ready to start selling pizzas!
Once the installation is complete, our commitment to you is just getting started. The PizzaForno team provides comprehensive training to ensure you’re fully equipped to manage and operate your new pizza vending machine.
We cover everything from stocking the machine with fresh pizzas to operating the touchscreen, oven, and backend system. You'll learn how to handle every aspect of the machine, ensuring a smooth, efficient experience from day one.
Learning doesn’t stop with installation. We provide ongoing support and are always just a call away. Whether you have a question, encounter a challenge, or need further assistance, our dedicated operations team is ready to help at any time.
PizzaForno isn’t just about delivering fresh pizza; it's about innovating the way food is served in high-traffic environments. Our machines provide a convenient, reliable, and exciting food option that operates round the clock, making it perfect for settings where traditional food services might not be available 24/7.
