A Hot Meal for Anyone in the Building. Nobody Has to Run It.

It boils a real bowl in 3 to 5 minutes, not a microwave meal and not hot water poured over noodles. Ramen, mac and cheese, oatmeal, plus hot water for tea and coffee, all from a jug on a counter you already have.

Two Reasons to Put One In

Same machine either way. What changes is who walks up to it.

For Your Team

A Perk That Actually Gets Used

Most workplace perks go unused. A hot meal does not. People eat without leaving the building, and it is there on the late shift too.

Break Rooms Offices Warehouses Staff Lounges and more

For Your Customers

Something Hot While They Wait

An oil change, a checkup, a late check-in. The wait does not get shorter, but it gets easier to sit through.

Auto Shops Clinics Hotel Lobbies Waiting Areas and more

Scan It or Tap It. That's the Whole Job.

Scan the ramen package or tap a preset on the screen. The machine picks the water and the time.

Setup Is a Plug and a Water Jug

After that it runs like the coffee station. Someone tops up the water and the supplies now and then, and that is the extent of it.

Plug In, Add Water

Sits on any counter, runs off a standard outlet, and draws from a water jug. No plumbing.

Anyone Can Use It

People tap a preset or scan a package. The how-to signage that ships with it is all the instruction anyone needs.

Freshly Boiled, Not Reheated

It adds the water and brings the bowl to a real boil on the spot. Not a warmed-over microwave meal.

Nothing to Wash

It cooks in a paper bowl, so there is no sink involved and no dish duty for anyone.

One Purchase, Then Bowls

The machine is bought once. After that the only cost is supplies, and you order those when you need them.

About 50 Cents a Bowl

That is the paper bowl it cooks in. The ramen is whatever you pay for it, from wherever you already order.

No Build-Out to Budget For

No hood, no plumbing, no contractor. It sits on a counter you already have.

Free for the Team, or Not

Set the ramen out and let people help themselves, or turn on scan-to-pay so the machine covers its own supplies.

Nothing Renews

No monthly fee, no service contract, and no vendor account to keep an eye on.

From a Real Break Room

A small business owner set one up for their team. Here's what they told us.

Everyone loves it.

Purchased this for our break room and everyone loves it. We draw water from a 3 gallon jug, which made setup super easy with no plumbing.

It also dispenses water at a set temperature, which makes brewing tea easier. The induction feature works on its own too. As a test, I cooked some bacon in one of the pots, then made ramen right on top. It turned out really good and has become a popular snack at the office.

We are super happy with it, and the price was very reasonable compared to other units we looked at.

Three Machines in One

One outlet, one corner of the counter. Break rooms do not have much of either.

Instant Food Cooker

One tap or scan to cook. Ramen, mac and cheese, oatmeal, and anything that cooks in boiling water.

Induction Cooktop

The induction plate, on its own. Put your own pot or pan on it and use it like a burner, for soup someone brought from home or anything that does not come in a bowl.

Hot Water Dispenser

Instant hot water in seconds. No waiting for a kettle, and five temperature settings so tea and coffee each come out right.

Wi-Fi is optional. Cooking and hot water run offline. Connect it only if you want barcode scanning, preset updates, or scan-to-pay.
 

Ready to Serve on Day One

What to buy, what to stock, and how to tell people to use it. Those are the three things that would otherwise land on you, and they are already done.

A List of Ramen That Works

Picked, with links. The packages the machine scans and cooks. Order from it before the machine even arrives.

Bowls and Lids

Fifteen bowls come in the box. Induction-safe paper bowls, plus lids if people carry them back to a desk. Reorder from us any time.

How-To Signage

Nobody asks you how it works. Set the sign next to the machine and people walk up and make a bowl on their own.

The signage, the list, and fifteen bowls ship with the machine. Ramen you buy yourself, and more bowls and lids come from us whenever you restock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need anyone to install it?

No. Set it on a counter, put a water jug beside it, and plug it into a standard 110V outlet. Most people are up and running within an hour of opening the box. No contractor, no plumber, no electrician, and nothing to mount or drill.

If you would rather connect it to a water line, that is supported too, but nothing about the machine requires it.

Will it trip the break room circuit?

It draws up to 1350 watts from a standard 110-120V outlet, roughly what a microwave draws. A typical 15-amp circuit handles it on its own with room to spare.

Where it gets tight is a break room running a microwave and a coffee maker on the same circuit at the same time. If that describes yours, give the machine its own outlet on a different circuit.

Will the whole office smell like ramen?

There is a ramen smell while a bowl is cooking, about the same as someone heating one in the microwave, and it fades the same way.

What it does not produce is frying smoke or grease. Nothing is seared, nothing spatters oil, and there is no residue to settle into carpet or fabric. That is also why the machine needs no hood and no ventilation work.

Who has to take care of it?

Nobody has to operate it. People walk up and make their own bowl.

Someone does need to top up the water jug and restock bowls and ramen, about the same effort as keeping the coffee station going. There is no maintenance schedule, no filter to change on a calendar, and no service visit to book.

Is it safe for people to use on their own?

People use it the way they use a microwave or an electric kettle. The machine runs its program and stops heating on its own when the bowl is done, so there is nothing to switch off and nothing left running.

The bowl is hot when it comes off the plate, and the how-to signage that ships with the machine includes a handling caution next to the steps.

Does it have to be on our network?

No. Preset cooking, hot water, and the induction plate all run offline. Out of the box it works without ever touching your network.

A connection is only needed for barcode scanning, cloud preset updates, and on-machine payment. If your IT policy makes that difficult, the machine still does everything else.

Do we have to give the ramen away for free?

Either way works. Most workplaces set the ramen out and let people help themselves, the same as coffee.

If you would rather the machine cover its own supplies, on-machine payment lets people scan a QR code on the screen and pay from their phone. That option does need a network connection.

Where do we buy the ramen?

Wherever you already order supplies. We do not sell ramen or toppings.

What we send is a list of the packages the machine recognizes and cooks, with direct purchase links, so you can order a first batch before the machine even arrives.

Do you sell bowls and lids?

Yes. Fifteen induction-safe paper bowls ship with the machine to get you started, and you can reorder them here. Matching lids, useful if people carry a bowl back to a desk, are available here.

How much cleaning does it need?

Very little. Cooking happens inside the paper bowl, so there are no pots or pans to wash. Broth splashes onto the outside now and then, and a quick wipe takes care of it. No sink and no dishwashing routine.

What if the machine breaks?

If a unit fails because of a manufacturing defect during the one-year warranty period, we replace the whole machine rather than asking you to service it. The replacement ships from our US warehouse, so you are not waiting on an overseas repair queue.

What certifications does it have?

The machine is ETL Listed and ETL Sanitation certified, tested for electrical safety and sanitation requirements for commercial equipment. Those certifications are equivalent to UL and NSF standards, which is usually what a facilities or insurance review asks for.

Need to Run It By Someone First?
