Free office vending machines in Racecourse
Tenancies around Racecourse are a natural fit for the $0 hire program: enough head count to support a machine, and rarely enough food retail at the door to keep staff on site.
Racecourse is part of greater Mackay, QLD, where the workplaces we place machines into are mostly in mining services, engineering, agriculture and transport.
Paget's mining services workshops run crib rooms that a snack and drink pair covers neatly.
What it costs a Racecourse office
Nothing. There is no purchase price, no hire or rental fee, no delivery charge, no service fee and no lock-in contract for a Racecourse site. We own the machine and earn from product sales at ordinary retail prices, which is what keeps the program free.
The only thing the site carries is the electricity, which is comparable to running a bar fridge.

The problems it actually solves
Around Racecourse the walk or drive to buy a cold drink is the hidden cost — the employer pays the time, and the machine that ends it costs the employer nothing.
- Staff leaving the floor for 15 to 25 minutes to buy a drink or a snack
- Kitchen supplies bought on a company card with no control and no visibility
- Late shifts, weekend work and early starts with nothing open nearby
- Facilities budget carrying the cost of an amenity that could cost nothing
- Meeting-room catering runs that eat an admin day every week
- Nobody willing to own restocking, cleaning or the money tin
What we do — at no cost to your site
- Supply — the machine is ours, not a lease or a rent-to-own
- Delivery — freight, trolleys, lift bookings and out-of-hours access
- Installation — positioning, levelling, electrical test and tag, commissioning
- Insurance — the machine and its stock are insured by us, certificate supplied
- Maintenance — parts, labour, refrigeration and payment faults, all included
- Refilling — telemetry-driven restocking so popular lines do not run out
- Refunds — failed vends refunded by us, never handled by your reception desk
- Removal — if it does not suit the site, we take it away at our cost
What a Racecourse site provides

- A standard 10 amp power point within roughly 2 metres
- Delivery access — lift, ramp or an 820mm doorway
- A position staff already walk past
- One contact for delivery day and restock access

Products and range
You choose the mix for your Racecourse floor. Plenty of sites ask for a healthier weighting — water, sparkling water, low-sugar drinks, nuts, protein bars and popcorn beside the usual lines — and any product can be excluded, with nut-free a common request on client-facing floors.
Ranges are re-weighted after the first few restocks using actual sales data, not a fixed planogram.
