The Kiosk concept supports Grab-n-Go service only to be located in barracks and work areas and requires minimal staffing. The concept is based on and designed to feed up to 1,000 customers per Kiosk daily. This effort will be piloted in phases. Additional phases will eventually roll out and this program is expected to be supported at all United States Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) installations.� The Army is interested in utilizing unmanned kiosks as well.� The Air Force will also participate in this acquisition with a number of kiosk locations.��Its purpose is to sustain feeding options where Soldiers will not have access to dining facilities readily available.
