Free Bread For All initiative
‘Bread for all’ initiative is the vision of the Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum of ‘not letting anyone in the UAE sleep with an empty stomach’
Bread for All creates a social safety net where everyone collaborates to extend a helping hand to needy families, individuals, and workers.
The smart machines are easy to use and provide the option to choose multiple bread types. A pop-up appears on the display and once the selection is made, the machine begins preparing hot bread that is dispensed in around 1 minute.
