Is your workplace a good fit for a free vending machine?
60 seconds, 7 questions. We'll score your site against the same criteria our install team uses — and tell you honestly whether it's worth a call.
How many people are onsite on a typical day?
Are they mostly onsite all day, or coming and going?
Sales reps and delivery drivers count as transient — they rarely use vending.
How many hours per day is the site active?
Days per week the site operates
Cafés or convenience stores within a 2-minute walk?
Is a standard 10A power outlet available near the intended spot?
Is there floor space (≈700 × 900mm) for the machine?
Are your staff hungry & thirsty?
Headcount is only half the picture. The best-performing sites have staff who genuinely reach for a cold drink, a chocolate bar, a protein shake, chips, nuts, noodles or a flavoured milk across the day. A quiet 100-person office where nobody snacks does worse than a busy 40-person warehouse where everyone grabs a drink after every break.
On a warm day, roughly how many staff would grab a cold drink?
Water, Coke, juice, iced coffee, flavoured milk, sports drinks, protein shakes — anything cold.
How often do staff reach for a snack — chocolate, chips, protein bar, nuts, noodles?
What sort of work do most staff do?
Physical work builds real thirst and hunger — warehouses, factories, gyms and trades outperform desk-only sites.

Frequently asked
What makes a workplace a good fit for a free vending machine?
The single biggest factor is regular users who stay onsite all day — 70+ desk, floor or shift staff who aren't leaving for lunch every day. Add reliable power, a bit of floor space, and few nearby cafés and the site almost always works. Sites with under 30 daily users or where everyone leaves at lunch typically don't clear the $200/week viability threshold.
Do you install at sites with fewer than 30 staff?
Sometimes — if there's meaningful foot traffic (a gym, a clinic waiting room, a public-facing reception, or 24/7 shift work). We look at total daily users, not just headcount. Call us and we'll be honest about whether it'll work.
What kills a vending machine's performance?
A café or 7-Eleven within a two-minute walk, staff who leave the building for lunch, unreliable power (machines that keep resetting corrupt the telemetry), and being tucked in a corridor nobody walks down. We survey before we install to avoid these traps.
What if my score is low but I still want a machine?
Give us a call. Sometimes there's a factor the quiz can't see — a shift pattern, a nearby loading dock crew, or a plan to consolidate teams. We install where the numbers work; we're upfront where they don't.
