FELFEL
Part of the PSI catering concept is a cooperation with FELFEL, a Swiss catering service, that runs a 24/7 vending machine in Cafeteria Time-Out (PSI  West). It offers fresh meals that are locally produced from quick lunches to midday snacks. For the use of the self-checkout FELFEL fridge it is required to download the FELFEL App and to register once. Payment options include credit card and Twint.

Depending on the request it is intended to extend the offer to further locations on the PSI campus. Please download the FELFEL catalogue to get more information on the offer.

 
Payment
At the Restaurants and Cafeterias you can pay in cash (CHF and EUR) or by credit cards, V-pay, Maestro cards and the PSI access badge.
In addition there is the comfortable option to upload money to your PSI badge for payment in the PSI restaurant and cafeterias. For that purpose you can use the machines in both entrance areas of the PSI restaurant OASE (PSI East, cashless) as well as the Cafeteria Time-Out (PSI West, cash (CHF) only). The next ATM is located in Villigen.
The vending machines only accept the access badge.
 
Credit on badges may be converted to cash at the restaurants or cafeterias (only Monday to Friday)
