Vending Machine is one of the ways for people to buy food while commuting or in hurry during inconvenient hours. However, there are limited choices of food sold in vending machine, especially in Malaysia. Food sold at 24 hours convenient stores or vending machines currently in market are mostly pre-packed and not fresh. A vending machine which is able to prepare foods such as sandwiches, as ordered and customized is a great product for the market. The study is done as the first step towards the completion of such a vending machine. The focus is given on mechanisms to prepare for food in a way that can maximize the capacity or a small machine.
