Picture this: You’re at your desk at school or work, waiting at an airport or train station, visiting a friend in the hospital, when you feel a pang of hunger. You rise, stroll over to a vending machine, and — no wait, no fuss — you’re pretty much instantly enjoying a nice, hot White Castle Slider.
Yes, ready-to-eat White Castle Sliders will soon be available from vending machines — or rather, White Castle-branded “Crave & Go” automated kiosks — at a wide variety of locations nationwide.
What are White Castle Crave & Go automated kiosks?
The result of a partnership between White Castle and Automated Retail Technologies — which says it offers “state-of-the-art, self-service kiosks that deliver fresh, hot and ready-to-eat meals without the need for on-site staff” — White Castle Crave & Go automated kiosks will offer a variety of hot White Castle Sliders on demand nationwide. “No Tips, No Fees, No Lines,” the machines promise.
“This partnership provides a fun new way for consumers to experience White Castle,” Jamie Richardson, White Castle’s chief marketing officer, says in a news release.

Where can you find White Castle Crave & Go automated kiosks?
White Castle and ART have started rolling out the machines to college and corporate campuses, healthcare sites and transportation hubs. The companies are starting with 1,000 locations and will continue to extend their reach to more spots where “a traditional White Castle restaurant is not available.”
“Automated retail allows us to meet consumers when cravings strike – on campuses, in hospitals and at workplaces – while delivering the hot and tasty quality that has defined our brand for more than 100 years,” Richardson says.
When will White Castle Crave & Go automated kiosks be available?
White Castle and ART say the deployment of their Crave & Go kiosks is already underway, and that the early response to the initiative has been so positive that they expect a rapid expansion to additional sites through 2026. So, keep an eye out, White Castle fans.
