Why a black glass front vending machine performs well

Glass-front machines show every bottle and can, which helps customers choose and encourages impulse buys. Products sit on spirals with bottle guides, so you can stock many sizes and brands side by side.

Shelves can be adjusted to suit tall bottles or short cans, which makes it easy to change your range as tastes change.

• Sleek black cabinet with illuminated window
• 5 shelves for cans and bottles

Payment & accessibility

This black glass front vending machine takes card payments, coins and notes. Card payment with telemetry costs £10 a month plus 2% per transaction; see our cashless payment guide.

A note on drinks and sugar

Many soft drinks have been reformulated with less sugar because of the Soft Drinks Industry Levy, which charges producers on high-sugar drinks. As the operator, you buy finished stock with the levy already in the price, so simply offer a mix of regular, diet, zero-sugar and water options in your black glass front vending machine.

Returns depend on footfall, pricing and how well you keep it stocked. Try our profit calculator, or get in touch to talk through realistic numbers for your site.

Choosing a site for your black glass front vending machine

Cold drinks sell best where people are thirsty and there’s no shop close by, such as gyms, warehouses, sports venues and busy workplaces. Choose a spot with a safe power supply and space around the back for ventilation.

For workplaces and shared sites, offering the owner a small commission or a flat placement fee often helps win approval. Our placement agreements guide explains how to set this up.

Keeping the machine running smoothly

Check spirals turn cleanly and bottles sit upright in their guides. Wipe the glass and card reader regularly and check the lighting and cooling work properly.

How this compares to a branded glass-front machine

Branded machines grab attention, but their logos may not suit every interior. This black glass front vending machine looks neutral and premium, which suits offices and hotels.

Stocking your black glass front vending machine

Stock a mix of cans and bottles, including water, sports drinks, soft drinks and juice. Wholesale and cash and carry suppliers carry everything you need.

Making the most of the window

Keep the window full and tidy, with labels facing forward. A well-stocked, well-lit machine sells better than a half-empty one.
