Trading hours, with nobody on site
What limits it is the site's own hours, never a rota.
Fresh juice, hot pizza, protein shakes, wine, even a manicure — if it can be packed, chilled, heated or poured, a machine can sell it with nobody behind the counter. We supply the machines, build them around your product and ship them with the payment terminal already fitted.
A vending machine is a shop that fits into one square meter. It holds the stock, takes the payment and gives out the product on its own. That is why an automated retail machine works in places where a staffed counter never pays for itself: a gym at six in the morning, an office corridor at midnight, a hotel lobby on a quiet Sunday. The industry calls this unattended retail. For the guest it is simply the machine that is open.
It is also the cheapest way to start selling something. The machines on this page start at $1,879, and one works without wages, without rent for a room and without a rota, and a vending machine business grows by adding machines instead of hiring people. What one machine earns depends on where it stands and what it sells, and you can work out both before you order. The tables further down show you how.
Four steps, and only two of them involve you.
Choose the site and plug the machine in. It needs a 220 V socket, about one square meter of floor, and an agreement with the owner of the site: a fixed fee, a share of sales, or nothing when the site wants the service for its own people.
Fill it with stock. Most machines hold three to seven days of product. Refrigerated models keep it cold, and cook-and-serve models heat or bake each portion when it is ordered.
The touchscreen vending machine takes a card, a phone or a QR code, and gives out the product on its own. Cash is optional: a cashless vending machine with a card reader has a higher average sale and leaves you nothing to count.
The money goes to your account. A cloud-managed vending machine also reports its sales and stock, so you refill what has actually sold instead of driving over to check.

Vending is not only crisps and canned drinks any more. Every machine below is in our catalog: some are simple cabinets, some are robotic vending machines that fry, bake or blend the order while the guest watches.
A pizza vending machine bakes a chilled pizza in about 90 seconds and gives it out in a box. It is built for outdoor use, so it can sell on a street at two in the morning.
from 501,490.00 ฿ →
A french fry vending machine fries one portion when it is ordered and drops it into a cup with a sauce sachet. It looks after the oil and the basket itself.
from 434,966.00 ฿ →
Keeps packed meals cold and heats the one that was bought — pasta, rice bowls, burgers. A hot food vending machine can cover a whole night shift on its own.
from 296,800.00 ฿ →
A juice vending machine squeezes whole oranges for each cup and washes the juicer between cups. People buy it because they can see the fruit.
from 304,476.00 ฿ →
Blends frozen fruit into a sealed cup. The stock keeps for weeks in the freezer, so a slow week costs you almost nothing in waste.
from 419,000.00 ฿ →
The guest picks the flavors on the screen and the machine serves the cone. An ice cream vending machine earns most in summer: a lobby, a pool, a promenade.
from 411,938.00 ฿ →
A protein shake vending machine mixes from six canisters — whey, gainer, pre-workout — and rinses itself after every cup. It sells at the door of a gym with no staff.
from 184,153.00 ฿ →
Bakes a potato and adds the topping the guest chose. It is cloud-managed, so you can see sales and stock on your phone.
from 220,008.00 ฿ →
A popcorn vending machine pops each portion when it is ordered, so nothing goes stale. Cheap stock, small footprint, and the smell sells the next cup.
from 115,752.00 ฿ →
A cotton candy vending machine spins the candy and hands it over on a stick. People pay to watch it as much as to eat it.
from 279,743.00 ฿ →
Scans an ID before it gives out the bottle. That is what makes unattended alcohol possible in a hotel corridor or a residence lobby, where the law allows it.
from 292,536.00 ฿ →
The classic snack machine, updated: a combo vending machine with cooled shelves and a 22-inch screen. You can buy the stock from any wholesaler.
from 155,565.00 ฿ →
Guests take a photo and the booth prints it on a fridge magnet in about a minute. It earns at malls, events and tourist spots, and the only stock to carry is paper and blanks.
from 214,822.00 ฿ →
A nail art vending machine prints a design onto a nail in a few minutes. It is the beauty vending machine nobody expects, and it works in malls and salon lobbies.
from 218,336.00 ฿ →
A prize vending machine with a claw. It sells the game, not the toy, which is why it does well in family venues and arcades.
from 64,102.00 ฿ →These are the places that keep a machine busy, and what usually sells in each.
A vending machine for office floors sells coffee, cold drinks and lunch between meetings. If there is a security desk downstairs, it becomes a 24/7 vending machine and the night shift buys too.
A vending machine for gym floors sells shakes and bars at the two moments people buy: right after training and on the way in. In a 24-hour club it is the only thing open at three a.m.
A vending machine for hotel corridors serves the guest who wants a drink at one in the morning, without keeping a bar open. Wine, beer and snacks, with an ID check where alcohol needs one.
A vending machine for airport halls sells during delays and early departures, when the units with staff are closed. There are many people, but the site fee is high — check the rent first.
Malls usually take a share of sales instead of fixed rent, which suits a vending kiosk that is fun to watch: fresh juice, soft serve, cotton candy. It works the mall's hours, so count the trading day.
A vending machine for events shortens the queue where you cannot staff a bar for three days. Popcorn and cold drinks pay for the weekend, and a vending cart moves the same setup between sites.
Students buy at hours no shop is open, and they live on the spot. Hot food and snacks sell best, card and phone payment matter more here than anywhere, and the term dates set the season.
Waiting rooms and night shifts are both badly served, and visitors buy when the cafeteria is closed. Sealed portions and a machine that records its own temperature make the approval easier.
A few machines turn a lobby into a micro market for the building: everyday things without going to a shop, and the same buyers every day. Rent is usually small, because the building wants the service.
Break rooms where the shift pattern never matches shop hours. Hot meals and drinks sell best, some operators add a second machine for gloves, masks and blades, and the site fee is rarely the problem.
An outdoor vending machine sells to drivers after the kiosk closes. You need a weather-proof cabinet, heating in winter, a screen you can read in the sun, and card payment only — nobody collects cash at four in the morning.
Seasonal, and strong while the season lasts: ice cream, cold drinks and sunscreen sell all day where the nearest shop is a walk away. Plan the payback over the months it works, not over the year.
The machine is the easy part. Nearly every disappointing payback starts as a pitch problem: not enough people, the wrong people, or the right people in too much of a hurry.
Stand at the place during its busiest hour and count the people who pass. The trade rule of thumb is one to three people in a hundred, so a place with 1,000 people a day gives you ten to thirty sales. Compare that with the tables below before you sign anything.
People who are in a hurry buy less than people who are waiting. A hall where everyone runs for a gate can sell less than a break room, a waiting room or a queue, where people have ten free minutes and nothing to do.
The audience chooses the product, not you. Protein where people train, hot food where the shift changes, ice cream where people walk. A wine machine in a gym looks nice and sells nothing — and alcohol also needs the site to allow it.
Our machines weigh from 40 to 650 kg, so check the floor, the door and the way in, plus a socket nearby and mobile signal for the card reader. Then agree the fee for the place, who pays for electricity, and whether you are the only machine there.
Every table below is built from four numbers: the price the guest pays, the cost of one serving, the card fee, and what the site costs you per month. We use prices from a mid-size European city, 30 days a month, without VAT, and we assume you refill the machine yourself. Change any number and the payback changes, which is why the numbers are on the page instead of one final figure.
The volumes are named for what they are. Quiet is a machine in an average corridor, Busy is a good place with real traffic. Nobody can promise you which one you will get, and a vending machine payback without the volume behind it is a sales pitch, not a calculation.

Corn, oil, seasoning and a cup cost about a quarter of a dollar per serving, and the machine pops to order, so a slow day costs you nothing in waste.

Costed on 30 g of whey at wholesale price, plus the cup and lid. Gym sales happen in two short windows a day, so the busy column depends on the size of the club.

Potato, topping and tray. Sales come at lunch and late in the evening, so the working hours of the site matter more than the number of people.

About 0.75 kg of oranges per cup at $1.30/kg, plus the cup. The fruit price changes with the season: at $2/kg the margin drops by about a third, so buy on a contract if you can.

Frozen portions keep for weeks, so a quiet week costs you storage, not stock. This machine earns on the number of cups, not on the margin per cup.

A wholesale chilled pizza plus the box. The highest price on this page and the biggest sale, and it works at night when everything else is closed.
See this machineA machine off the line sells your product in someone else's colors. These are the changes we make before it ships.
Cabinet wrap, screen artwork and the product plate in your design. A branded vending machine also helps you win a site: the owner picks the machine that fits the lobby, and a vending machine wrap is the cheapest part of that.
Card reader, contactless, QR and app payment fitted before shipping, plus a bill acceptor if the site still needs cash. If what you sell has an age limit, the machine checks an ID before it hands the product over.
Sales, stock and faults are reported to a dashboard. This is what makes it a smart vending machine and not a box with shelves. Cameras and weight sensors — the “AI vending machine” line on a spec sheet — charge for what the guest actually took.
Weather-proof cabinet, heating or cooling sized for the site, and a screen you can read in daylight. A refrigerated vending machine holds its temperature in a heatwave, and a smart fridge vending machine opens with a card so the guest takes the product by hand.
Shelf spacing, coil size, cabinet width, cup and lid, temperature, dispensing arm. A narrow corridor takes a slim machine; a site you restock once a week needs a big one. If your product does not fit a standard machine, start the conversation there.
Touch screen size, menu language and the pictures on it. A touch screen vending machine can also run your ads between sales, and the menu can be set in two languages for an airport or a hotel.

Everything here is a commercial vending machine built to run all day. We are a sourcing agent, not a reseller with a warehouse: the machines come from the factories that build them, and that is what makes a one-unit order possible at a factory price.
On this page, from $1,879 for a claw cabinet to $14,700 for an outdoor pizza machine — the catalog also holds a cold brew unit below that, at $1,680. The common working machines sit between $3,400 and $9,000: popcorn at $3,393, a refrigerated snack and drink combo at $4,560, fresh orange juice at $8,925.
Minimum order is one machine. Shipping is quoted separately for your address, because a machine on a pallet to Lisbon and the same machine to Warsaw are not the same number.
On the numbers in the tables above, one or two months in a busy place and seven to nine months in a quiet one. The difference comes from the site, not from the machine: how many people pass, what you charge, and what the site charges you.
Work backwards. Take the machine you want, decide honestly how many sales a day the site will give you, and read the payback from its table. If the quiet column does not work for you, the problem is the site, not the machine.
Yes — that is most of what we do here. Shelf pitch and coil size for an unusual pack, cup and lid format, dispensing temperature, ID scanning, and the cabinet wrapped in your artwork.
Send a photo of the product and its dimensions and we'll come back with what fits, what needs a modification and what it costs. Start from the form at the bottom of this page.
Card and contactless as standard, plus QR and phone payment on the touchscreen models. A bill acceptor and coin mechanism are available where the site still needs cash.
Cashless is worth insisting on: it lifts the average sale, removes the cash run, and a machine with a card reader is accepted in sites that will not allow a cash box on their floor.
The outdoor models can: a sealed weather-rated cabinet, heating or cooling sized to the climate, and a screen you can read in daylight. The pizza machine on this page is built for exactly that — a 24/7 street front.
An indoor machine moved outside fails in the first winter, so check the model rather than the category. Each product page states which it is.
For snacks and packaged drinks, usually no licence — but food businesses register with the local authority in most of Europe, and a fresh food vending machine, anything unpackaged, chilled or heated, falls under the same hygiene rules as a kitchen.
Alcohol is the exception everywhere: unattended sale needs both a licence and verified age checking, and several countries do not permit it at all. Confirm your own country's rule before you order the machine, not after.
You do the day-to-day: restocking, wiping down and the cleaning cycle the machine runs itself. On most models that is under an hour a week per machine, and cloud-managed units tell you when it's needed instead of you guessing.
For parts and warranty, we order from the factory that built the machine. Terms are on each product page — check them before ordering, as they differ between manufacturers.
Both sides of it. We're a vending machine supplier working directly with the factories that build these machines, so you buy at a manufacturer's price with a single machine on the order, and you get someone on your side of the table for the specification, the modification and the shipping.
Practically, it means one conversation instead of three: what you want to sell, where it will stand, what it has to look like.
Say what the product is and where the machine will stand, and we'll come back with the models that fit, the price and the lead time. If it needs a modification — a different shelf pitch, your branding, an ID check — say so here and it will be in the quote.
