OEM & Private-Label Manufacturing for Restaurant Chains
For established restaurant franchises and ghost kitchen brands, the AZ-F01 serves as a high-margin automated satellite location. Miracle provides complete white-label OEM manufacturing: custom powder-coated cabinet colors matching your corporate identity, backlit laser-cut logo headers, and customized Android software that displays your restaurant’s digital loyalty programs and mobile order pickup codes.
HACCP Certified Food Safety: Chilled Preservation + Fast Microwave Reheating
Hot food vending requires strict compliance with international food codes (such as US FDA Food Code and EU EC 852/2004). Maintaining cooked meals at warm temperatures (40°C–50°C) invites bacterial proliferation. The Miracle AZ-F01 keeps all lunch boxes and bento meals strictly chilled between 4°C and 8°C throughout inventory holding, then activates an industrial commercial microwave to heat the meal above 75°C (167°F) in 60 to 90 seconds on demand, guaranteeing peak flavor, crispness, and complete bacterial safety.
Quality Assurance, 72-Hour Burn-In Testing & Export Packaging
Every AZ-F01 unit undergoes rigorous quality assurance at our Shanghai facility. Before crating, each machine completes a continuous 72-hour burn-in testing cycle simulating over 500 consecutive microwave heating and elevator dispense operations under full electrical load. Units are packed in fumigated heavy-duty plywood crates with shock-dampening pallet bases and moisture-proof vacuum wrapping to guarantee pristine arrival worldwide.
