And the product just what, magically shows up? If you’re swapping out the flavor, that’s a whole process, not something you’re doing on a whim. All promotional material would either be shipped ahead of time or with the product. We’ve been able to label buttons and products for a long time w/o using an independent computer + screen to do it.
I would assume that in most cases, they arent running a mid day update, they would give prior notice that over night X will happen so make sure product is what the label is in the morning.
Being said, I also assume there is some custom-ability to the screens, as in they are probably touch screens or have a a physical button behind the control to allow to cycle through available products to ensure the right product is displayed. That or there is a network controller somewhere on premise (potentially linked to their menu manager) that decides what screen displays what.
Pepsi isn’t going to print an insert for every machine. They’re gonna print an insert that fits the machine you have to rent from Pepsi. Same with Coke.
