Answers
The questions Australian businesses actually ask before hosting a vending machine, answered properly — with numbers, not brochure copy.
The short answer
Hosting a workplace vending machine from us costs nothing at all: no rental, no delivery, no install, no restocking, no servicing, no insurance and no removal fee. We carry $20 million public liability. The machine stays as long as it sells enough to fund itself, and if it doesn't, we fix the product mix or remove it free — you are never invoiced either way.

Three questions come up in almost every conversation: what does it really cost, what happens if the machine underperforms, and is our workplace even the right kind of site. Each has its own page below.

Booking the dock and getting building management to approve a vendor is usually painful. This crew handled all of it — the machine appeared, plugged in, and the staff just started using it.

Night shift was tapping vending machines in the servo across the road. Now they don't leave the site. It's paid for itself in productivity in the first month — and we paid nothing for it.

I'd been quoted $8k for a machine that I'd have to stock and fix. This one turned up free, gets stocked automatically, and I get a monthly line item as revenue not a cost. No brainer.

A 20-page plain-English guide: what vending actually costs in Australia, how the $0 placement model is funded, the $20 million insurance position, what makes a site viable, and the exact questions to ask any vending supplier before you sign. No cost, no obligation, no sales call unless you ask for one.
FAQ
On a placement model, yes. The supplier owns the machine and funds the program from product margin, so the host business pays nothing for the machine, delivery, install, restocking, servicing, insurance or removal. Staff pay normal cashless prices for what they buy. Rental and lease models are different — those charge the host $150–$600 a month plus extras.
There isn't a hidden fee, but there is a condition: the site has to generate enough sales to fund the service. That's usually about 30 or more people on site daily. If a site can't sustain a machine, it gets removed at no cost — the risk sits with the supplier, not the host.
Two quick questions and you're on your way. No contract lock-ins, no hidden fees.
