1. Size of Vending Machine

Vending machines come in different sizes to fit various spaces and product capacities:

  • Compact/Small Machines – Ideal for offices, break rooms, or small retail spaces with limited room.

  • Medium-Sized Machines – A balance between capacity and footprint, great for schools, gyms, and lobbies.

  • Large/Full-Size Machines – Best for high-traffic areas like malls, airports, and supermarkets.

  • Modular/Expandable Machines – Allow for additional modules if you need to scale up later.

Choose a size that fits your location while meeting customer demand.

2. Payment Options

Modern vending machines should support multiple payment methods for convenience:

  • Credit/Debit Card Readers – Increases sales as many people prefer cashless payments.

  • Mobile Payments – TnG, Grabpay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and QR code payments attract tech-savvy users.

  • Contactless NFC Payments (Future) – Faster and more hygienic transactions.

  • Cash & Coin Acceptors – Not preferred due to issues and difficult to maintain.

A machine with flexible payment options maximizes revenue.



3. Inventory Management & Remote Monitoring

Advanced vending machines offer:

  • Real-Time Stock Tracking – Alerts you when items are running low.

  • Sales Data Analytics – Helps identify best-selling products.

  • Remote Management – Adjust pricing or disable products via an app.

Smart vending machines save time and optimize restocking.
