February 5, 2024

Blendid, a robotic food service solutions leader, announced an expanded 2024 menu developed in collaboration with personal trainers and fitness experts to meet varied beverage interests and nutritional needs. Rolling out the new menu at its Bay Club locations in California, the new offerings will be available to all autonomous robotic kiosk locations powered by Blendid technology this month. 

“Since expanding into the athletic club industry in 2023 through our collaboration with The Bay Club Company, we’ve seen tremendous interest in expanded menu options focused on meeting varied nutritional and fitness needs across all of our locations,” said Vipin Jain, CEO and co-founder of Blendid. “We are dedicated to driving the health-conscious reinvention of fast food, and our robotic kiosks can now deliver fast, customizable and nutritious on-the-go choices across a wide variety of beverage options that consumers crave. We think the introduction of our new menu is perfectly timed as the start of the year always creates an even stronger focus on health and wellness; our customers at fitness centers, hospitals, college campuses, retail centers and more will eagerly embrace the new options in the coming year.”

The 2024 Blendid kiosk menu now includes:

  • High-protein drink options made with almond milk, super greens, whey proteins and a variety of vitamin-packed fruits;
  • Caffeinated beverage options such as cold brew and seasonal, flavored caffeinated drinks; 
  • Hydrating drink options providing low-calorie nutrition; and
  • Blendid’s traditional smoothies with a full set of customizable blends and add-ons.

Blendid currently operates kiosk locations in a variety of non-traditional venue types including active-lifestyle and athletic clubs, shopping centers, colleges and university campuses, and corporate offices. Leveraging Blendid’s contactless food automation platform foodOS, a patented machine learning, robotics, and artificial intelligence-enabled system, Blendid kiosks now make customizable, healthy quick-serve beverage options of all kinds accessible on-demand in a variety of locations – 24-hours a day, seven days a week as location hours and traffic demand. Orders can be made directly at kiosk touchscreens or through the Blendid App and scheduled for a pick-up time.
