24/7 workplace vending, purpose-built for Australian healthcare
Healthcare workplaces run around the clock. Night-shift nurses, on-call registrars, radiographers, ward clerks and visiting families all need reliable access to food and drink outside of canteen hours. A free vending machine in the staff room or main foyer covers those hours without extra staffing.
We install cashless-only machines that don't require any on-site float or reconciliation. Product plans can include sugar-free, low-kJ, gluten-free, dairy-free and higher-protein options — useful for staff wellbeing programs, diabetic-friendly visitor amenities, and alignment with your state's healthy food and drink framework.
Our team works with facility management, WHS and infection-control leads to choose a location that meets all site policies. Free installs cover public and private hospitals, LHDs, day-surgery clinics, radiology and pathology hubs, medical centres, aged-care facilities and retirement villages across every state and territory in Australia.

5.0 / 5 · 3 reviews
"The Right Bite compliance question is what killed most vendors for us. They actually mapped every SKU to the framework and made it easy for us to sign off."
"Regional Tasmania — we didn't think anyone would service us. They did, on time, and the after-hours option for our night nurses has been a genuine morale win."
"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."
FAQ
Common questions
Can machines be placed in patient waiting areas?+
Yes, subject to infection-control and site policy. Our free site check works with your infection-control lead and facility manager to identify locations that meet cleaning, ventilation and safety requirements.
Do you offer healthier and dietary-specific product mixes?+
Yes — sugar-free, low-kJ, gluten-free, dairy-free, high-protein and diabetic-friendly SKUs are all available. We can also align to your organisation's healthy food and drink policy or state health department guidelines.
Are the machines suitable for 24/7 hospital environments?+
Absolutely. Cashless payment, telemetry monitoring and reliable commercial-grade refrigeration mean the machine operates overnight without staff attention — designed for continuous 24/7 use.
Can we split machines between staff-only and public areas?+
Yes — many facilities run one staff-side machine (protein, coffee alternatives, heartier snacks) and one public-side machine (family-friendly, diabetic-friendly, water) with different product mixes in each.
Do you meet NSW Healthy Food and Drink Framework / VIC / QLD Health equivalents?+
Yes. We support the NSW Healthy Food and Drink Framework, VIC Healthy Choices, QLD A Better Choice, WA Traffic Light and equivalent state frameworks — the product plan is built to your target percentages (green/amber/red).
How is cleaning handled for infection-control?+
Our restock team wipes down high-touch surfaces (keypad, PIN pad, delivery flap) at every visit using a hospital-grade disinfectant. For infection-outbreak periods your facility can request additional visits at no charge.
Do you install at aged-care facilities and retirement villages?+
Yes — residential aged-care, day therapy centres and retirement village community rooms are core to our program. Product plans typically emphasise low-sugar, easy-open packaging and staff-preferred SKUs for night duty.
What about GP clinics, day-surgery centres and specialist practices?+
Standalone GP clinics with 15+ staff, day-surgery centres, radiology hubs and specialist medical centres all qualify. The compact combo format fits reception-area footprints.
How quickly can you install at a hospital or LHD?+
Metropolitan hospital installs typically land in 3–6 weeks — the additional time covers site inductions, procurement paperwork and infection-control sign-off. Private clinics install in 7–14 days.
Can visitors and patients pay by card if they don't have their phone?+
Yes — tap-to-pay contactless card (any Australian bank), plus Apple Pay and Google Pay. No cash means no cash-handling for staff and no theft risk on site.
What if the machine has a fault at 3am?+
Telemetry alerts our operations centre immediately. For total outages at 24/7 critical sites we dispatch after-hours technicians on request. For non-urgent faults, next-business-day service is standard.
Can you install a vending machine up one or two flights of stairs?+
Yes. A snack or drink machine is 250–300kg empty and our crew brings a powered stair-climber plus two to three installers. We remove the front door on tight landings, protect balustrades, and hand-turn each landing. Most 1–2 storey stair installs across NSW, VIC and QLD are completed the same morning. See our stair-climb install page for the full method.
What if there's no lift and no viable stair path — can you crane a machine through a first-floor window?+
Yes. When stairs aren't practical (tight spiral, fire-only, or the machine won't clear a landing) we book a truck-mounted hi-ab crane and lift the unit through a first-storey window. We coordinate the traffic-management permit, spotter, and window removal/reinstall so your building manager only signs off the date.
The site has new turf, pavers or freshly landscaped gardens — how do you protect them?+
We ground-protect with reused lexan machine fronts laid end-to-end and pallet-jack each machine across the mat. On a recent Tomago electrical factory install, two machines were moved 150m across new grass to the staff lunchroom this way — two crew, two hours, zero damage. Same method works for softscaping, exposed aggregate and epoxy floors.
What access details should we confirm before install day?+
Door width (min 820mm ideal), floor level and rating, stair count and landing turns, whether a lift exists and its internal dimensions, distance from loading zone, any bollards or garden beds in the path, and after-hours access. Send photos with your request and we'll pre-plan the exact method — stair-climber, hi-ab or protected carry.
How do you decide the first product mix (planogram) before install?+
We build a starter planogram from what actually sells at similar sites in your industry and postcode — best-selling drinks, snacks and, on combi units, fresh/frozen lines. It's a 4–6 week baseline. Once remote monitoring has real sales data we rotate slow movers out and give proven sellers extra selections and facings, so the mix keeps improving without you asking.
What testing do you do before handing the machine over to staff?+
Every vend motor is cycled, every drop sensor in the delivery bin is confirmed triggering, and the card reader is transaction-tested with a live tap-to-pay. We also test refund flow, price display, and telemetry heartbeat back to our operations centre. If anything hesitates we swap the part before your team ever sees the machine.
How is refrigeration checked at install?+
We pull the deck and inspect the temperature probe, compressor fan and internal cabinet circulation fan under load. A squeal on either fan means bearings are on the way out and we replace the motor before install rather than after a callout. Air-filter cassettes (where fitted) are removed, blown out or replaced so dust doesn't cook the deck in month three.
Does the machine arrive looking new?+
Yes. Every machine gets a full detail inside and out before it leaves our workshop — cabinet wipe-down, spiral and shelf clean, tray and delivery-bin scrub. Glass is polished inside and out so products look crystal clear (nobody buys from a dirty-looking machine), and older units get an exterior polish so they present as-new on day one.
How quickly can the product mix change once you see the sales data?+
Remote monitoring reports sales by selection in real time. We usually action the first rotation at the 4-week mark: slow movers pulled, top sellers doubled up across more selections. Staff can also request swaps directly — a QR code on the machine goes straight to our operations team.
What happens if the card reader ever fails?+
Telemetry flags a card-reader fault the moment it stops handshaking. We dispatch a swap unit — usually next business day — and reconcile any partial transactions automatically. Your team never has to troubleshoot a reader on the floor.
