Case Study: Meals on Wheels New Mexico expands healthy food access and funding with Byte Technology smart fridges

Meals on Wheels New Mexico boosts mission funding with Byte smart fridges and 100% profit reinvestment

Meals on Wheels New Mexico, a non-profit organization, faced the challenge of an outdated public stigma that its meals were like "cafeteria food," which hindered its ability to form new partnerships and expand its reach across the state. The organization partnered with Byte Technology and used its smart fridge vending kiosks to help address this brand perception issue.

Byte Technology's solution was to help launch the Forage program, a network of vending kiosks stocked with locally sourced, healthy grab-and-go meals placed in strategic locations like Presbyterian Hospital. The results included 100% of profits being dedicated to funding Meals on Wheels' initiatives, increased brand exposure as an innovator, and successful sales, with popular items like seltzers depleting weekly. Byte Technology enabled the customer to support the local economy and further its mission simultaneously.
