Silver Glass-Front Combo — Card Reader

Silver Glass-Front Combo: Overview

The Silver Glass-Front Combo — Card Reader sells snacks and bottled drinks from one machine. Three upper trays hold crisps, chocolate and bars, while two lower trays hold bottles and cans. It’s a glass front combo vending machine that arrives tested, installed and ready to stock.

At £2195, this glass front combo vending machine gives a site a full snack and drink offer in one footprint. A card reader, coin mech and note acceptor mean every customer can pay.

Why a glass front combo vending machine performs well

A big glass front lets customers see every product before they choose, which helps impulse buying. Snacks and drinks side by side also encourage people to buy both.

One machine means one power socket, one footprint and one restocking visit. That makes this glass front combo vending machine efficient for sites with steady but moderate footfall.

• 3 snack trays and 2 drink trays in one cabinet
• Large glass front shows the full range
• Card reader plus coin and note payment
• Keypad selection with a clear digital display

Payment & accessibility

This glass front combo vending machine accepts card, coins and notes, so customers can pay however they like. Card payment with telemetry costs £10 a month plus 2% per transaction and shows live sales on your phone; see our cashless payment guide.

A note on drinks and sugar

Many soft drinks are now lower in sugar because of the Soft Drinks Industry Levy, which charges producers on high-sugar drinks. As the operator, you buy finished stock, so the levy is already in the price, but it’s worth stocking a mix of regular, diet and zero-sugar drinks.

Estimating your return on a glass front combo vending machine

At £2195, this combo replaces two separate machines, which saves space and restocking time. Selling snacks and drinks together often lifts the average spend per customer.

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 glass front combo vending machine

Combo machines do best where people want a snack and a drink without leaving site, and there’s no shop close by. Offices, warehouses, gyms and staff rooms with steady footfall all work well.

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 keep bottles upright in their lanes. Wipe the glass, keypad and card reader regularly, and check the drinks section stays cold.

How this compares to separate snack and drinks machines

Separate machines hold a bigger range of each, which suits very busy sites. A glass front combo vending machine gives a balanced range in half the space.

For most offices and staff rooms, one combo is enough. Our combo vending machine guide explains how to choose.

Sourcing stock for your glass front combo vending machine

Snacks and bottled drinks are easy to buy from cash and carry and wholesale suppliers. Most keep for months, so you can buy in bulk.

Start with best sellers in each section, then adjust. Our best snacks for vending machines guide has ideas.

Planning snacks and drinks together

Stock popular drinks such as cola, water and a flavoured option, alongside crisps, chocolate and a few healthier bars. Keep the best sellers at eye level.

Review sales every few weeks and swap slow lines for products people ask for.
