ReadyPop®
A 16-oz commercial popcorn machine plus popcorn dispenser in one convenient unit! ReadyPop® is the simplest way to offer popcorn. Pop the popcorn right in the unit, then hold it in the cabinet until it is dispensed. The cabinet holds up to 20 gallons of popcorn! Pop multiple batches early in the day, then customers can conveniently fill cups and bags with just the push of a button. The compact footprint allows ReadyPop to fit into any available space. Choose a countertop model or add the base. It includes a crisping system, cup dispenser and lid holder, and LED lighted sign and cabinet.
• Includes 16-oz kettle • Holds up to 20 gallons of popcorn • Base Sold Separately • Cashless Payment Option Available • Custom Graphics Package Available
ReadyPop® Jr.
Designed with smaller venues in mind, ReadyPop Jr. makes popcorn dispensing available nearly anywhere. Small, yet mighty, ReadyPop® Jr. combines the power of an 8-oz popper and the convenience of a self-serve dispenser in one compact unit. Save on labor by popping multiple batches, then hold up to 11 gallons of popcorn in the warmed cabinet until it is dispensed. Customers can fill cups or bags with just the push of a button. Push-button dispensing is more convenient and sanitary than other options. Locations will benefit by offering a grab-and-go snack plus a fresh in-store experience that engages the senses.

This convenient self-serve popcorn dispenser machine makes it easy to serve up fresh popcorn. An attractive display, the ReadyServe® One is a warming cabinet that holds up to 40 gallons of popcorn.

Designed for ease of use, the ReadyServe machines allow concession stands, convenience stores, movie theaters, and other venues to serve gourmet popcorn without the need for extra equipment or preparation. The popcorn is packaged in nitrogen-flushed premium mylar bags to ensure a 6-month shelf life, maintaining the popcorn’s peak freshness. Available flavors for dispensing in ReadyServe machines include Movie Theater Style Popcorn, Cheddar Popcorn, Caramel & Cheddar Mix, Kettle Corn, and the fan-favorite, OREO® Popcorn.
Signature Shakes®
Enrich the popcorn experience even more with shake-on flavorings like bacon & cheese, garlic parmesan, or ranch, offering a versatile and exciting way to elevate the classic snack.

By adding a butter dispenser to your setup, you enhance the overall concession experience, driving higher customer satisfaction and potentially increasing sales.
