"The machine looks like a typical touchscreen vending machine and is in a closed-off section of the store, accessible from outside. Customers can choose from a selection of sausages, jerky, bacon, and various cuts of steak like New York strip and ribeye."
"I think our customer base wants to buy meat after 6 p.m. We're closed Sunday, so it's a great opportunity for our fishermen, skiers, and avid outdoors people to come in before or after hours."
"The meat vending machine has been up and running since March 2026, though Austin Daniels had the idea about a year earlier. Whether he was aware or not, this idea has been tried out before."
Daniels Gourmet Meats in Bozeman, Montana, features a 24/7 meat vending machine, allowing customers to purchase fresh steak and other meat products at any time. The machine, designed like a touchscreen vending unit, is temperature-controlled and stocked daily with items such as sausages, jerky, and various cuts of steak. Owner Austin Daniels aimed to meet the needs of customers who desire meat after regular business hours, particularly outdoor enthusiasts. The concept of meat vending machines has been previously implemented in other locations since 2018.
