Choosing vending machine services

Ways of finding the right vending machine services

There are several vending machines and each of them has a specified purpose, depending on the model and features. A vending machine inside the office would be a great way to keep your employees happy, allow them to be able to save time and gasoline when they need a quick snack. It increases employees’ efficiency by allowing them to focus on their work rather than worrying about what and where to grab food.

Conducting an employees’ survey on the food items that they are likely to consume will make it easier for you to decide what to put in your vending machine.

Factors to consider when choosing vending machines

With a vending machine, you would not be needing the services of someone to prepare your employees’ snacks.  If you employ a person to make tea or coffee for your staff and he/she arrives late, then the whole office will suffer because of the employee’s action and this will lead to an underutilized workday since your employees will waste more time in seeking the services elsewhere.

Ratio of cost of employee to cost of vending machine

The main disadvantage of having a vending machines compared to having someone do the job is, the employees, themselves, need to make sure that they have coins to use the machine. If the employees don't have cash to use, then, he/she needs to step out of the office and get food from a store outside the office.

Reduced clean up and storage costs

Implementing a coffee vending machine offers reduced cost of cleaning and storing. Most of the machines have the capacity to store cups, filters, coffee sachets, bottles of drinks and various other things. When the machine is used to vend coffee, it does so accurately thus minimizing wastage.


What the machine will be serving the staff with

You must make up your mind on what your chosen vendor machine provider will be offering to your staff as this is the only way to succeed in the project. Choosing a service that has a high demand will reduce losses and create more profits by reducing loss and wastage.


The power consumption of the machine

Offices pay bills as part of the basic requirements and it's also important that bills should be kept low enough to maximize profits. A good office vending machine should have a low power consumption and be enabled with power saving features so as to reduce the electricity bills that the office has to pay for the services. Vending machines that will be used for making beverages such as coffee and tea will be consuming more power due to the included heater and this means the office will end up paying more electricity bills high
