Food vending apparatus includes a kiosk 1 having trays of pre-prepared food products stored on trolleys (8-11). A customer may place an order using a keypad and an electronic payment card at one of several ordering and collection stations (30). A robot (20) in the centre of the kiosk selects the food product and places it on the tray in a microwave oven (31) where the product is heated. The robot then remove the heated product, selects the required drink from a drink dispenser (26, 27) and places it on the tray, and delivers the order to the customer waiting at the collection station (30).
