German term or phrase: Essengeld aus Automaten
I have very little context but I think the table I have is a Siemens-related one.

The title of the table I am translating is 'Sonderprüfung Barkassen'. It appears to be a record of all petty cash transactions.
'Essengeld aus Automaten' appears in the column headed 'Belegkopftext'.

Other entries in this column are 'Tagegeld', 'MST', etc.

Explanation:
If it has to be shorter, then "Meal vending machine receipts", perhaps?

Though I think this may be "Meal ticket money" from said vending machines....

agree  Jonathan MacKerron: vending machines seem plausible here

agree  Cetacea: Seeing that it is a "Sonderprüfung Barkassen" we're dealing with, I think it's "Cash from vending machines", i.e. the actual coins thrown in.
