White Castle automated kiosk debuts at Logan Airport
It will serve sliders in under two minutes.
Boston Logan welcomed a surprising new arrival — an automated White Castle slider kiosk.
At first glance, it might look like your average airport vending machine. But instead of coffee or phone chargers, this one dispenses hot sliders in under two minutes.
According to a Dec. 3 release, the kiosk was developed with food-tech partners Just Baked and Evolvending, and offers several of White Castle’s most popular items: the 100% beef Original Slider, Classic Cheese Sliders, Cheddar Bacon Cheese Slider, and the Chicken and Cheese Slider. Travelers can find it in the Terminal A satellite concourse, directly across from the childens’ play area.

“Our retail division has been bringing Sliders to Cravers outside of restaurants for nearly 40 years,” said Sarah Paulson, director of retail marketing, innovation, and licensing at White Castle.
The launch comes after White Castle continues to lean into automation and robotics. The company worked with Miso Robotics on its newest AI-powered fry station robot, Flippy, and announced over the summer a new robot delivery service for some of its Uber Eats orders in Chicago.
With no White Castle storefronts in New England, the Logan kiosk is the only spot in the region where travelers might encounter the chain.
