After much deliberation, we've decided to buy our own vending machine for our small office (about 30 staff). We're primarily looking for a snack and cold drink machine. A non-negotiable for us is a built-in card reader. We want to move away from cash entirely to make it easier for our employees and reduce cash handling for us.
We're in the UK, so looking for advice specifically on models and suppliers available here. What are the key things to consider when buying a machine with an integrated card reader? Are there specific card reader brands that are more reliable or have better transaction fees? What about connectivity – do they need WiFi, or is a SIM card enough?
Chose a vending machine with a Nayax card reader—fast, reliable payments. SIM connection works great. Connect Vending was excellent!
