A selection as individual as your site

Think of this as a menu of possibilities, not a fixed list. We mix and match from every category below to build a selection that suits your people, your hours and your space.

Ice-cold glass and plastic bottles of water, juice and soft drinks with cans, chilled on crushed ice

Ice-cold drinks and water

Still and sparkling water, soft drinks, juices and fruity favourites, chilled and ready to grab the moment someone needs one.

Great for Every site, all year round

Great for Gyms, studios, warehouses and active sites

Open bags of crisps spilling out beside pretzels, popcorn, crackers and roasted peanuts

Chocolate bars, biscuits, flapjacks, cookies and chewy sweets. The afternoon pick-me-up everyone looks forward to.

Built around the people on your site

Choosing what goes in your machine is part of the service. You never place an order, count stock or chase a delivery. We plan the whole selection for you, and we plan it for the people who will actually use it.

1

We get to know your site

Who is on site, when breaks happen, how long the shifts run and what else is nearby.

2

We plan your opening selection

A mix shaped around your people: a gym mix, an office mix, a night-shift mix, a hotel mix or a staff-room mix.

3

We keep fine-tuning it

At every restock we see what is popular and adjust the mix, so favourites stay in and new ideas get their turn.

Your people have a say

Pass on requests from your team, members or guests and we work them into our planning.

Picture it on your site

Five sites, five very different moments. Here is how a tailored selection can feel on the day.

Hotel

The conference wing runs late. Between sessions, delegates pick up a sparkling water and a premium-style snack. Guests back from the city find a chilled drink and a sweet treat near the lobby, and your late-shift team are looked after back-of-house.

Always something to look forward to

A great selection never stands still. We keep it lively through the year so people keep coming back to see what is new.

Seasonal favourites

More chilled water and sports drinks when the weather warms up, comforting treats when the evenings draw in.

New flavours

New drinks and snacks join the mix as they arrive, giving your people something fresh to try.
