Gas Station · Santa Ana, CA

Drivers pick a pack from the shelf, tap the screen and the machine boils the noodles fresh while they wait. They finish the bowl with free toppings like green onion and jalapeño, or paid extras like cheese, corn and chicken from the fridge next to it.

The station fits into the store's existing layout and runs self-serve at any hour, so the cashier keeps working the register while the ramen bar sells on its own.
