Why buy a snack vending machine
Snack machines carry the highest gross margin per selection of any vending category and need no refrigeration, which keeps both the purchase price and the running cost down.
Every machine we sell is set up before it leaves us: price file loaded, spirals pitched for your product list, payment system fitted and vend-tested on each selection.
- New machine with manufacturer warranty
- Payment system fitted, tested and configured
- Delivery and placement Australia wide
- Operator handover covering loading, pricing and cash out
- Ongoing parts, spares and service support
What this machine holds
A snack vending machine runs chips, chocolate, lollies, muesli bars, protein bars, nuts, biscuits and healthier grab-and-go lines. Capacity is usually 30 to 45 selections across five or six spiral trays, holding 350 to 600 items, which is what determines how often you need to visit the site.
The machine suits offices, apartment lobbies, schools, clubs, medical centres and 24-hour workplaces.
Specifications
- Adjustable spiral pitch and tray height for tall bags and flat bars
- Product delivery sensing that refunds or re-vends a failed drop
- Optional chilled deck for fresh snacks and dairy lines
- Toughened glass front with anti-theft delivery flap
Payment systems and what they cost
Machine prices are quoted without a payment system so you can match acceptance to the site. A staff-only tea room may only need a card reader, while a public-facing machine usually wants coin, note and card.
| Payment system | Price |
|---|---|
| Cashless credit card reader (new, installed) | From $550 installed |
| Coin acceptor / coin mechanism (used) | From $295 GST inclusive |
| Note reader, accepts $5, $10 and $20 notes | From $350 + GST |
Payment systems are quoted separately so you only pay for the acceptance you need.
New or used?
A new snack vending machine gives you full warranty and the current cabinet and controller generation. A refurbished machine gets you trading for less, which matters when you are proving a site before committing.
| New machine | Used machine | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Quoted per model | From $1,650 + GST |
| Warranty | Manufacturer warranty | Workshop-tested, warranty on request |
| Lead time | Subject to stock | Usually available now |
| Best for | Long-term sites and tenders | New operators and trial sites |
Frequently asked questions
What is not included in the machine price?
Prices are quoted plus GST, plus your chosen payment system and plus transport to site. That keeps the machine price honest, because a card reader and freight to a regional site are very different costs from a metro cash-only install.
Can you deliver and install a machine I buy?
Yes. We arrange transport Australia wide, place the machine, fit and test the payment system, load the price file and hand over with a short operator briefing.
Can I choose the products in the snack machine?
Yes. Every site gets a planogram consultation, so you can weight the machine toward healthier options, remove nut products for allergy reasons, or keep the staff favourites that already sell.
Do snack machines need refrigeration?
A standard snack machine is ambient and needs only a power point. If you want fresh sandwiches, yoghurt or dairy snacks you need a chilled snack or food machine instead.
