Quick answers to common questions from organisations considering a managed vending machine.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a vending machine for free?
Qualifying locations can use VendingNI's fully managed service without purchasing the machine. Eligibility depends on factors such as expected footfall, space, access and likely demand. See how the free managed service works.
Who stocks the vending machine?
For VendingNI managed sites, product replenishment is handled as part of the service rather than left to the customer.
Who repairs or services the machine?
Routine servicing and machine support are included for machines within our managed service. See repairs and servicing.
Can the machines accept cards and Apple Pay?
Compatible vending equipment can support debit cards and mobile wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. See our cashless vending page.
Can we choose what goes in the machine?
Product selection can be discussed and adapted around the location and likely users, subject to the machine configuration and practical stocking requirements.
Do you provide snack and drinks machines?
Yes. Options include snack machines, cold-drink machines and combination machines.
Do you provide coffee vending machines?
Hot-drink vending can be discussed as part of a workplace refreshment setup. See coffee vending machines.
