Yes. 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.

Basic functions such as preset cooking, hot water dispensing, and induction heating operate fully offline. However, features like QR-code smart cooking, cloud menu updates, screen content sync, and remote monitoring require a Wi-Fi connection. For the best performance and real-time updates, keep the device connected.

Setup and use are straightforward. Check the included manual or our YouTube channel (@NEOCUCINA) for quick video tutorials; if questions remain, reach out to us at support@neocucina.com or WhatsApp +1 (949) 213-6301.

With NEO CUCINA, you can create custom recipes, each linked to a unique QR code. When you scan the QR code with the device, it automatically identifies the corresponding meal and downloads the preset cooking program—including the correct water volume, cooking time, heating curve and etc.—to cook the dish perfectly and effortlessly.

Ramen is typically ready in 3–5 minutes. Water volume and heat levels are programmable per recipe.

The touchscreen can display a variety of customizable content, including cooking instructions, brand visuals, promotional banners, video ads, and idle screen messages. Whether it’s guiding the user through a cooking process or showcasing your brand during standby mode, the screen becomes a powerful communication tool.

Content is managed through our cloud-based backend system, where you can upload media, assign different ads to different devices, and even customize content based on time of day or cooking status—all remotely.

The device is connected to the cloud and supports OTA (Over-the-Air) updates, so you will receive new features, recipe expansions, and system optimizations automatically at no extra cost.
