An automated sliced food vending kiosk provides a sanitary, sealed environment for storing, slicing, packaging, and dispensing sliced food items, such as deli meats and cheeses. Orders may be customized through a user interface, and be scheduled for preparation to be completed coincidental with an expected approximate retrieval time. In some examples, wireless capability detects customer arrival, which is used as a trigger to begin preparing an earlier-submitted order. Food safety may be improved by correlating food item chubs with customer profiles, to provide alert recipient information, if needed. The kiosk may be tied in with retail inventory management for automated reordering of food items and reconciling slicing operations with sales and inventory levels.

A rotation transmission shaft that extends vertically to penetrate a box body is provided. When the box body is placed on a base portion of a tablet feeder mounted in a medicine dispensing apparatus, a lower end portion of the rotation transmission shaft is coupled to the base portion so as to be able to transmit rotation, and a tablet guiding mechanism is coupled to a cut tablet piece receiving portion of the base portion. When a tablet cassette configured to discharge tablets housed in a random manner, one at a time, as a rotor rotates is placed on the box body, an upper end portion of the rotation transmission shaft is coupled to the rotor to be able to transmit rotation, and the tablet guiding mechanism is coupled to a tablet discharging portion of the tablet cassette.

A soft good dispensing device includes a loading zone, one or more rollers, and a cutting mechanism. The loading zone is configured to receive a soft good supply. The one or more rollers are configured to automatically unwind a desired quantity of a soft good from the soft good supply. The cutting mechanism is configured to automatically separate the desired quantity of the soft good from the soft good supply. The cutting mechanism includes a rotary cutting blade and a rotatable blade adjustment mechanism. The rotary cutting blade is configured to cut the soft good as the rotary cutting blade travels relative to an unwound portion of the soft good. The rotatable blade adjustment mechanism is coupled to the rotary cutting blade and operable to extend the rotary cutting blade from the cutting mechanism and retract the cutting blade into the cutting mechanism.

Systems, methods and slice thickness gauges that are capable of providing customers with identifying features representative of varying thicknesses of food products slices available for purchase, and with which customers can place orders for sliced food products having a desired slice thickness. The method includes providing a slice thickness gauge to a customer. The slice thickness gauge includes a plurality of identifying features each identifying feature corresponding to a thickness of a food product that may be produced by the attendant. The identifying features include a numeric value that is an integer devoid of fractions and decimal values and corresponds to a slice measurement that can be configured on a slicing machine.
