How to choose a new drink machine
- Staff or visitors per day — more people means a larger capacity machine or a second unit
- Indoor or outdoor — unsheltered sites need a weather-rated cabinet like the Outdoor G-Drink
- Cans or bottles — stack machines carry the most cans; glass-front machines show the range
- Payment — card-only removes cash from site; coin and note can be added
- Access — check door widths, lifts and steps before delivery day
Three ways to get a cold drink machine
You can host one free, buy one new, or buy one used — and new or used machines can be paid off over time with lease-to-own finance instead of paying the full price upfront.
| Free placement | Buy new | Buy used | Lease-to-own | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | $0 | From $4,950 + GST | From $1,950 + GST | Spread over the term |
| Who keeps the takings | We do | You do | You do | You do |
| Who restocks | We do | You (or us) | You (or us) | You (or us) |
| Best for | Workplaces of about 30+ people | Long-term owners | Lowest buy-in | Owners who want to keep cash free |
Prices exclude GST, payment system and transport. Lease-to-own terms are quoted per application.
Lease-to-own drink machine funding
Lease-to-own lets a business, club or operator put a new or used cold drink machine on site now and pay it off over an agreed term, owning it at the end. It suits buyers who want the takings but would rather not spend the full price upfront in one go.
Terms depend on the machine, the business and the lender, so we don't publish a standard rate. Send a finance enquiry and we'll come back with options for the specific machine you want.
- Available on new and refurbished drink machines
- Payment system and installation can be included in the amount financed
- You keep the drink sales from day one
- Ask on the finance page — there's no cost to enquire
What the official summer outlook says
The Bureau of Meteorology's long-range forecast issued 8 October 2026 says daytime temperatures are likely to be above average across Australia for November to January, with overnight temperatures also likely above average (source: Bureau of Meteorology climate outlooks, https://www.bom.gov.au/climate/ahead/outlooks/, checked 10 October 2026).
The Bureau also reports that a strong El Niño is underway and models indicate it is likely to become the strongest El Niño on record since reliable records began in 1950. The Bureau notes El Niño is only one influence on Australian weather, and its strength does not always match its local impact (source: https://www.bom.gov.au/news-and-media/el-nino-strength-doesnt-always-match-impact-on-australia, checked 10 October 2026).
For a workplace, that means planning for more hot days, not predicting a specific temperature. A warmer-than-average season is exactly when an under-sized or slow-to-refill drink machine runs empty.
