1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: Quite a neat idea for You's first hot pie vending

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: machine has launched, stocked with the famous Markeetoo pies and

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: Craig Williams is Market two Pie's general manager and with us.

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 2: Morning Craig, Good morning Heather, how are you well?

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: Thanks mate? Now we're talking about this being the first

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: in rot is the first in the country or we

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: already got these things out there?

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 2: Now it's not the first in the country. The Tilt

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 2: guys have been developing these things for a couple of

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: years and this sort of, I guess the final version

11
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: I've had out and about around some sites in Auckland.

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: It's a bit of a sort of a commercial trial

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: on construction sites and the university campus and places like that,

14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: and it was with relative success. So we're excited to

15
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: pick up the first one in the Bay of Plenty

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: because that's how you know, our foundational stomping ground.

17
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. So how does it work? Do you have to

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: restock the pies every day?

19
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,639
Speaker 2: Yeah? So we're working with the Road rua in Dead Guy.

20
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: So there's the team that run the eye sights and

21
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: the tourism down there in Rhode Rue and their team

22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: are trained and ready to keep the pies stocked and

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: fresh and hot all day. So yeah, working with them

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 2: essentially to handle that. And it's obviously the quality of

25
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: delivery of the quality is really important to us, So

26
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: you know, training that team and making sure that they

27
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: are ready to go and top quality has been the

28
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: key thing to the rollout.

29
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: What's the attraction? Like, why do people want to get

30
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: their pie out of a vending machine instead of out

31
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: of a dairy well?

32
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: I think, you know, given the location with this one

33
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: is the tree Walk, for us, it was about you know,

34
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: visibility of the brand. It's a bit of a novelty,

35
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: I guess, you know. We have a site there that

36
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: gets about seven hundred thousand tourists through a day, a

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: lot of international tourists, and you know, for us, we're

38
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: really proud to be carrying our brand there and something

39
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: that will capture people's attention. And a lot of those

40
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: international tourists are looking for a hot pie as part

41
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,639
Speaker 2: of their key we expect they.

42
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: Are they coming to the country wanting a pie? Have

43
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: they heard this is our cuisine?

44
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's surprising how much of it again,

45
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: I think there's there's a number of things that New

46
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: Zealand is well known for around the world, and the

47
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: meat pie is definitely one of them.

48
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: How good is that, Craig listen, thank you very much,

49
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: appreciate it. You look after yourself. I hope it goes well.

50
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: That's Craig Williams Michel Two Pies general manager. I mean,

51
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: you know, if you know anything about the vending machines

52
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: and places like Japan, they just pump out absolutely everything.

53
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: So if the idea catches on, you even know might

54
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: be getting a pair of socks out of it. Next minute.
