Description

The vending machine unit is a Westomatic Elevate and the first of its kind in the UK.

The unit is owned outright and has been shipped directly from Italy at a cost of £11,400 new. It is a premium machine and the only model that does not drop drinks from height; instead, it carefully delivers drinks to the customer, preventing damage. It is the only one capable of holding over 405 × 500ml drinks and more than 648 × 300ml drinks, offering exceptional capacity.

Depending on footfall, the machine typically requires restocking once every 2–3 weeks. The backend system provides full visibility and control, making it effortless to manage and a strong income generator.

It can be monitored via the MoMa App, which is part of the Nayax card payment system (not the vending machine itself and through the app, the owner can track daily sales in real time and view summaries showing which products need restocking.

The machine comes with two sets of keys and includes a guarantee of up to five years. It is built for durability and long-term use.

Business Operation

Currently, prices are set at only 10p above price-marked items, leaving room for further optimisation. For example, Red Bull prices were recently increased by up to 20p, resulting in a 1% margin improvement.
