Once the decision to expand our catering services into the vending business was made the next decision was whom to partner with as an vending equipment supplier.

There are only three major players in the vending equipment industry. After numerous visits with all of them we selected Automatic Products of Minnesota (www.automaticproducts.com.) Automatic Products is the industry leader in professional grade vending equipment; equipment that works day-after-day, week-after-week and it looks great!

Yet, we would not go forward until we felt comfortable with our local distributor. That led us to Shaffer Distributing (www.shafferdistributing.com) Automatic Products equipment is the only vending equipment serviced and supported full-time by a Columbus based distributor. Visit their web site to learn more about this very seasoned and professional Columbus based organization. Our account representative, an industry veteran of many years, Mr. James McGeorge, has provided us with guidance as we have moved into this new industry. Their service staff is truly outstanding and the equipment they sell is second to none. Ritz is proud to provide you with Snack, Frozen, Coffee machines manufactured by Automatic Products and supported by Shaffer Distributing. It's great know that our great food items, snacks, freshly made coffee and more are being served you by the best!
