Large Glass-Front Drinks Machine — Tap to Pay

Why a large tap to pay vending machine performs well

Six shelves give you room for a big range of cans and bottles, so customers can always find something they like. More stock also means fewer sell-outs.

Tap-to-pay makes buying fast, which matters when there’s a queue. Many customers now expect to pay by card or phone.

Payment & accessibility

The tap to pay vending machine takes contactless cards, phone payments, coins and notes. Card payment with telemetry costs £10 a month plus 2% per transaction; see our contactless vending machine 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 tap to pay vending machine.

Financing your tap to pay vending machine

Estimating your return on a tap to pay vending machine

At £2295, this is our highest-capacity drinks machine, so it can take more per visit than smaller units. Contactless payments help lift sales.

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 tap to pay 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. Make sure there’s room for its larger footprint.

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 and bottle guides regularly and keep labels facing forward. Wipe the glass and card reader, and use telemetry to restock before lanes run out.

How this compares to a smaller glass-front machine

Smaller glass-front machines suit medium sites and tighter spaces. This large machine holds more products and suits sites where a smaller unit would sell out between visits.

Check the footprint with our vending machine dimensions guide before you buy.

Stocking your tap to pay vending machine

Stock a full mix of cans and bottles, including water, soft drinks, juices and sports drinks. Buying in bulk from wholesalers keeps costs down.

Why tap-to-pay matters

Fewer people carry cash, so a machine that takes contactless payments rarely loses a sale for lack of change. Telemetry also shows sales and stock on your phone.
