FAQ
Typical install lead time in Sunshine Coast is 7–14 days for standard sites. Same-week installs are possible when site access is straightforward.
About 30 daily on-site people. Below that, shared-floor or micro-market options can still qualify.
No. There's no minimum term, no exit fee, and we relocate or remove the machine at no cost if the site changes.
Standard fits are cashless drink, snack, or combo machines. Bean-to-cup coffee, hot food and smart coolers are all available on request depending on site size.
Yes. Rental is $0. Delivery is $0. Install is $0. Restocking, cleaning, servicing and product liability insurance are $0. The program is funded entirely by the products sold from the machine. No lock-in contract — if it stops suiting you, we collect the machine at no cost.
We do. That's why maintenance, insurance, restocking and eventual removal are our responsibility, not yours. You're hosting the machine, not leasing it.
About 30 daily on-site people is the working threshold for a standalone drink or snack combo machine. Below that we can still discuss micro-market or shared-site setups.
Yes. Product mix reviews are ongoing and free. If you move offices or the current spot isn't working, we relocate the machine at no cost.
Experience you can check
Written and maintained by Dan Barnes — owner-operator, Free Vending Machines Australia
I have been placing and servicing vending equipment in Australian workplaces for over two decades — offices, warehouses, gyms, hospitals, schools, remote camps and government sites. Everything on this page reflects how we actually run installs in Sunshine Coast, QLD: the machines we physically stock, the lead times our crews hold to, and the service standard we carry at our own cost. Nothing here is licensed boilerplate.
Sunshine Coast, QLD workplaces vary hugely floor-to-floor — a 20-person studio and a 200-person distribution centre need different machines, not the same one twice. Before we commit to a machine we check three local realities: access (lift dimensions, loading dock hours, stair-only levels and after-hours security), power (a dedicated 10-amp GPO within about two metres of the wall position), and genuine daily foot traffic rather than payroll head count. That last one is why a machine stays on site free indefinitely — we size it to the traffic it will actually get.
1. Two-question request
You tell us the workplace type and rough head count. No paperwork, no credit check, no sales visit required to get an answer.
2. Site check within 24 hours
We confirm head count, foot traffic, power location and access (lifts, stairs, loading dock, after-hours security) and pick the right machine.
3. Delivery and install
Our crew delivers, levels and commissions the machine, tests the cashless reader end-to-end and takes the packaging away. Nothing is invoiced.
4. Telemetry goes live
Every vend, temperature reading and fault code streams back to us. Low stock is flagged 2–3 days before a row empties.
5. Ongoing service, still $0
Restocks, cleaning, repairs, parts, product-mix changes and $20m public liability are all carried by us. Ask us to remove it and we do — no exit fee.
These are our three workhorse combination machines — photographed as they leave our workshop, stocked with the Australian brands your team actually buys. We recommend one based on your head count and floor space, never on what happens to be in the truck.

Proof
Gym · Fortitude Valley, QLD
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.

The objection was always cost, then it was hygiene zoning, then it was 'the last machine died and nobody came'. They answered all three before we signed anything, and the machine has never been empty.

We tried a fridge and lost money on it twice. This costs us nothing, it never runs out, and the 4am crowd finally has something to buy.
