DIY Operation

An organisation may decide to fill, cash and service its own vending machines. This option is often chosen by those using an in-cup machine (ie where the ingredients are pre-packed into the cup and mixed with water at the time of dispense).

The DIY option may also be suitable for an organisation that has catering staff, or one that has enough machines to warrant employing someone direct to control ordering and storage, cleaning and servicing, as well as accounting for and banking the cash takings.

It is important to remember that the Food Hygiene Regulations set out strict requirements for the hygienic operation of food and drink machines.

Ideal Vending Services would discuss all the options in more depth.
