Snack Vending Machines

Snack vending machines are probably what most people think of when they picture typical vending machines.  Snack and food vending machines can be a great way of making extra money from your existing business premises.

The first important choice to make prior to considering the purchase of snack vending machines should be whether you would be better suited with a self-management vending machine service (self-filling – arranging own vending machine products), or a fully operated vending machine service (vending machine stock managed by dedicated vending  machine operators).

Usually, answers to a few initial questions should help you make an informed decision:

How large is your organisation?
Do you have a staff member available who you could entrust with this responsibility?
What type of products/brands do you wish to vend?
How many products do you think you could sell a week?

Depending on your answers, you’ll know which snacks and by what means – achieving the best return for you, and exactly meeting your needs & requirements.

Snack vending machines are usually refrigerated and keep to a temperature circa 14 degrees Celsius.   However, a popular additional requirement is the ability to dispense fresh food and drinks from the vending machines.

The solution for these situations is combination vending machines, (aka dual-temperature vending machines). The lower shelves (usually) of these vending machines are cooled to a much lower temperature of around 4 to 5 degrees Celsius, which enables the owner to vend cold drinks and fresh food such as sandwiches, pasta, wraps, salad and fruit bowls.
