The Bake Box Breakdown
1. What is NOCO Bake Box and how does it work?
A fully automated hot-food vending experience that stores items refrigerated and cooks them hot and crisp in 1–2 minutes using infrared + microwave technology.
2. Are the items pre-cooked?
Yes. Items are prepared in a licensed kitchen, stored safely, transported cold and baked when ordered.
3. Is the food safe? What happens if something expires?
Yes. Machines are inspected and licensed by the County Health Department and strict standards are followed to ensure proper handling of all food. The system automatically prevents expired items from being sold by tracking the item’s “best by” date the machine can read using the barcode on the box.
4. How is food stored?
All items are stored frozen until loaded into the machine where items thaw to a refrigerated temperature before the machine can sell and serve the product. This ensure products are cooked thoroughly and baked to proper temperature.
5. What forms of payment do you accept?
Credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and tap-to-pay.
