Our ‘Game-Changer’

At Vending.com we do not require you to pay cash for your equipment. We offer flexible financing options designed to fit the new vendor and the growing vendor. Apply today!

Our financing program means that your machine can pay for itself. You can pay off your new vending machine from the profits of just a few sales per day. It’s okay if you don’t have the money to pay for the machine now, when you qualify for our financing program you can pay off the machine in manageable monthly chunks while the machine is already in use helping you earn money. It is important to Vending.com that as many people as possible have the opportunity to own and operate a vending machine. If you’re new to vending don’t worry because our vending coaches are available to walk you through the process of starting your vending business. The Vending.com team can help answer any questions you have, whether it’s about financing, products for your machine or a location for you machine.

The Fastest Way to Your Employees’ Hearts

There is one item in every workplace that is almost guaranteed to make your employees happy, especially in the morning. That item? COFFEE! Whether you are trying to wake up throughout the day or even just warm up, you cannot go wrong with giving your employees access to a coffee machine. Some of our favorite coffee machines include the Geneva Coffee Machine and the Cafecture Controlled Coffee Pod Merchandiser.

The Geneva Coffee Vending Machine, which is available in either silver or black, is a great vending option for any office space. Your employees can choose among 36 coffee combinations, including cappuccino, tea, hot chocolate and more. Get a fresh cup of coffee every single morning with a simple push of the button.

Besides the fresh and delicious coffee it brews, there are many benefits to the Geneva Coffee Machine. The coffee machine allows for a single serve coffee cup for your employees, so you never have to worry about making too much coffee, or not enough coffee, ever again. The machine itself has a small footprint, so you do not have to worry about creating a large amount of space to put the machine. One of the best parts of this machine is that it is compatible with Greenlite, meaning that it allows for cashless vending.

Of course, not every office is in need of an entire vending machine specifically used for brewing coffee. If your office would rather have a single serve pod machine to vend K-Cups. Cafecture Controlled Coffee Pod Merchandiser is for you. One of the best parts is that it is compact enough to fit on countertops, so you do not need to create a lot of space for it.

Keeping your employees motivated and upbeat during the day is a huge task, but it can be made a little easier with coffee vending machines, whether it is the Geneva Coffee Vending Machine or the Cafecture Controlled Coffee Pod Merchandiser.

Increase Profitability With One Simple Solution

Picture this: you have your MarketOne Snack 6W Vending Machine all set up. You have snack products you know your customers will love and your machine placed in a high-traffic location. Unfortunately, you quickly realize that your sales and vending machine business profits are not as high as you believe they should be. If you know that you have the right products and the right location, you may need to look at something else. It may be that you are not offering the correct payment options.

One of the standard features on all of Vending.com’s machines is cash and coin payment options. Some of our machines, including the MarketOne series, include PayRange, which is a mobile payment built into the machine’s control board. What about the machines that do not offer any type of cashless payment, though? If you are just relying on cash and coin payments, you could be losing out on sales. In fact, on average, operators are seeing a 30% increase in same-machine sales after adding a cashless payment option.

Vending.com offers a cashless payment option to help increase your vending machine business profits and cater to today’s market. Greenlite Cashless is a card and mobile payment acceptance solution, but it does so much more for your business. It comes with management tools, including machine sales tracking and integrated cash and cashless reporting. Aside from stocking the machine, everything can be done remotely, saving you visits to your vending machine.

Adding Greenlite to your machine is easy! All you have to do is contact your sales representative to get started. Greenlite offers various business options, so simply choose the one that fits your business needs, fill out the appropriate forms and get started!

Advantages to Vending in the Workplace

Vending machines are a common staple in most workplaces, but are there any real advantages to having a vending machine in the office? Absolutely! Having a workplace vending machine that your employees can utilize has multiple advantages that cannot be overlooked, including increased productivity, low maintenance and keeping your employees healthy.

Picture this. Two o’clock rolls around and your employees are starting to get hungry and restless, but they have a major deadline they have to meet by 5pm. In order to get it done, they need to leave the office, go pick up a snack and then come back. That time that they spent doing that could have gone towards finishing the project. Instead, they have to work even harder to make up for that time. If they had access to a workplace vending machine in the office, however, they would not waste as much time looking for a snack. Instead, they simply have to go to the machine, vend a product and get back to working on the project. This particular advantage of vending machines is that your employees stay productive and focused throughout the entire day.

Another advantage of workplace vending machines is that they are low maintenance. You can do just about everything yourself, directly onsite, meaning that you do not have to pay anyone to run a vending machine. Plus, restocking products is a simple task that can be done in no time. If a problem should arise, however, technical support through Vendnet is always available to help. They have a library of troubleshooting videos, manuals and even a place to order parts for your vending machine.

By providing a workplace vending machine with healthy food and beverage options, you are doing your part to ensure that your employees are living a healthy lifestyle. Additionally, having healthy food options, such as granola bars or yogurt parfaits, will allow your employees to focus more on the task at hand. Not all of your products need to be healthy but having a mix of healthy and unhealthy options means that all of your employees will be satisfied throughout the day.

It is important that you set your employees up for success in the workplace. Having workplace vending machines in your office grants advantages, such as allowing your employees to stay productive throughout and live a healthy lifestyle.

Keeping Your Heart Healthy

In order to cater to consumers, you should be providing a variety of heart-healthy snacks and beverages alongside unhealthy products in your vending machine. Yes, that means if you have a machine filled with sweets, you may want to restructure it in order to provide healthier snack products, such as hummus and granola bars. Providing a variety of products ensures that you are not only reaching more consumers but also means that you are promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Of course, just because something is consumed by drinking it instead of eating it, does not mean that it is any less unhealthy. That is why you should also make heart healthy beverages easily accessible for your consumers, if you have a drink or combo machine. Healthy drink options include water, seltzer water and flavored unsweetened water.

In order for snacks and drinks to be considered “heart-healthy” by the American Heart Association, snacks should have no more than 200 calories per serving. It should also have no more than 240 milligrams of sodium, no more than 1 gram of saturated fat and no more than 0 grams of trans fat per serving.

With Vending.com, we have optional features to make displaying nutritional information easily accessible for the consumers. Consumers will have the ability to browse all product information, including all nutritional information.

Not all of your customers will want to indulge in healthy snacks or drinks, which is why it is important to have a variety of heart healthy and healthy snacks and beverages in your vending machine.
