Why a vending service is better than buying your own machine

For many workplaces, the idea of providing a vending machine for workplace refreshments is attractive. But when it comes to deciding how to do it, business owners often ask the same question: should we buy our own machine or invest in a professional vending service?

At Coinadrink, we believe a vending service is almost always the smarter choice. It’s more cost-effective, less stressful, and delivers far more value than going it alone. Here’s why.

The true cost of buying your own machine

On the surface, buying a vending machine might seem like the cheaper route. You pay once, and the machine is yours. But in reality, it’s rarely that simple.

• High upfront cost: Quality vending machines can cost thousands of pounds.
• Maintenance headaches: Repairs, parts, and servicing quickly add up.
• Restocking responsibility: Someone on your team will need to buy stock, keep it fresh, and refill the machine regularly.

When you factor in ongoing time and money, owning a machine can become more of a burden than a benefit.

What a vending service offers instead

A vending service takes all those challenges away. With Coinadrink, you don’t just get the machine. You get the full package.

• Delivery & installation included for free.
• Regular restocking with fresh, high-quality products, tailored to your preferences.
• Professional maintenance & support, ensuring minimal downtime.
• Cashless payments & smart technology to make vending easier for staff.

In other words, your only job is to enjoy the refreshments. We take care of everything else.

Full-service vending: the stress-free option

When people talk about full-service vending, this is what they mean: a completely managed solution where your workplace never runs out of hot beverages, cold drinks, snacks, or fresh food.

Whether you need a hot drinks machine for the office, a snack vending machine for those pick-me-up moments, or even a smart fridge for ultimate flexibility come dinner time, our full-service vending package ensures:

• A tailored menu to match your team’s tastes.
• Consistent stock rotation to keep everything fresh.
• No hidden costs. Just a transparent, all-in-one service.

Why rent a vending machine

If you’re not ready for a full-service package, you can also choose to rent a vending machine. This option still comes with the peace of mind of having Coinadrink on hand for support, but gives you flexibility to handle restocking yourself if you’d prefer.

Which option is right for your workplace?

Most businesses find that full-service vending offers the best long-term value. It saves time, reduces stress, and guarantees that staff always have access to refreshments when they need them.

But whether you choose to rent a vending machine or go all-in with a vending service, Coinadrink provides expert guidance every step of the way. We’ve been in the industry for over 60 years, and we know how to match the right vending solution to every workplace.

Ready to introduce a better refreshment solution on-site?

Buying your own vending machine might seem simple but in reality, it’s rarely the best option. A professional vending service ensures you get the machine, the stock, and the support, without the hassle.
