Abstract: A food vending machine comprising a store cabinet for a plurality of cooled or non-cooled dishes and a cuboid oven (40). One wall (42) of the oven (40) is provided with an inlet door (46) and another wall (43) is provided with an outlet door (47) for introducing and withdrawing a food dish (28). A first conveying means (49) serves to transfer the dish (28) from the store cabinet through the inlet door (46) into the oven (40). A second conveying means (50) serves to transfer the dish (28) through the outlet door (47) to a dispensing position. Doors (46, 47) adjoin each other over a corner of the oven (40) in order to achieve a simple sequence of motion of the different moving elements, while keeping the construction as compact as possible.
