Turn Shelf Ramen Into Hot and Fresh Meals

NEO CUCINA Smart Commercial Ramen Cooker

From Setup to First Bowl Served

The whole thing, from unboxing to a fresh bowl on your counter.

How It Works

Simple enough for any customer to run in a few taps, with no prep or cooking skills.

Scan or Choose

Scan a ramen package's barcode or tap a preset on the screen. Over 90 SKUs supported.

Freshly Boiled, Not Reheated

The machine automatically adds water and boils the noodles on the spot, not a warmed-over microwave meal.

Ready in 3 to 5 Minutes

A hot, fresh bowl, start to finish.

Why It Sells

It adds a hot, fresh food option in spots that never had a kitchen, and it can run with or without staff.

Fresh Beats Reheated

A freshly boiled bowl outsells a microwave meal or a hot dog under a lamp, especially on cold nights.

Runs Day and Night

It works on its own around the clock, selling hot food when nothing else is open.

Pulls Snacks and Drinks Along

A hot bowl rarely goes out alone. Customers grab a drink or snack with it, lifting the basket.

Take Payment, Even With No Cashier

Customers scan the code on the screen and pay from their phone, so it can sell where there is no checkout at all. It works with your register too.

Scan and Pay on a Phone

Customers scan the code on the screen and pay from their own phone. No card reader to install.

Cooks Only Once Paid

The machine starts cooking after payment clears, so it can run unattended without walk-offs.

Works With Your Register

Have a cashier? Customers can pay at your register and cook at the machine just the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need professional installation, or can I set it up myself?

No professional installation needed. The machine ships ready to use. Place it on any counter, connect a water jug or direct water line, plug into a standard 110V outlet, and power on. Most operators are up and running within an hour of receiving the unit. No contractor, no plumber, no electrician required.

For setup tutorials, see the included manual or our YouTube channel (@NEOCUCINA). If questions remain, reach out to support@neocucina.com or WhatsApp +1 (949) 213-6301.

Does the machine work with a water jug or direct water line?

The NEO CUCINA ramen cooker supports both water jug and direct water line setups.

Out of the box, it can draw water from a standard external water jug, and no permanent plumbing is required. If preferred, it can also be connected to a direct water line for higher-volume or fixed installations.

This flexibility makes it easy to deploy in offices, cafés, convenience stores, hotels, and self-serve setups.

How do customers pay at the machine?

Two ways, and you can use either. Customers can pay through your existing setup, whether that's your POS, cash register, or a card reader, then cook at the machine. The machine also supports on-machine payment: customers scan a QR code on the screen and pay from their phone, and cooking starts once payment clears. That means it can also run in unattended spots with no checkout at all.

Do you sell ramen, soup, or toppings?

We do not sell ramen, soup bases, or toppings directly. The machine and the disposable paper bowls (with optional lids) are what we provide.

To make sourcing easier, we provide a curated SKU list of ramen brands and toppings that operators sell well, along with direct purchase links. This gives you a practical starting point for products that are easy to source, operator-friendly, and proven to perform.

Do you sell bowls and lids?

Yes. We sell our induction-safe disposable paper bowls designed to fit and work with the NEO CUCINA ramen cooker for a clean, consistent serve every time. You can buy them here. And matching lids are available and can be purchased here.

Do you offer discounts for ordering multiple units?

Yes. We offer volume-based pricing for multi-unit orders. Contact our team for details and tailored solutions.

Do you offer payment plans or financing?

We do not offer in-house installment or financing plans. However, there are a couple of options available:

  • Shop Pay: If you purchase through our website, you may be eligible for installment payment options through Shop Pay at checkout. Eligibility is determined by Shop Pay at the time of purchase.
  • Third-party financing: We do not arrange external financing on your behalf, but you are welcome to use any third-party equipment financing provider or lender of your choice.
What certifications does the NEO CUCINA machine have?

The NEO CUCINA machine is ETL Listed and ETL Sanitation certified, which means it has been tested for electrical safety and sanitation requirements for commercial equipment. These certifications are equivalent to UL and NSF standards for commercial use, so the machine is compliant for commercial operation in applicable settings.
