German term

Essengeld aus Automaten

German to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
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.

Meal receipts from vending machines

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....
Peer comment(s):

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.

just a guess

Could it be something to do with using the Geldkarte to pay for school meals, as in the linked document?
