Taking the strain away from staff and maximising discretionary revenue opportunities.

DELIVERING RESULTS
We work with independent and chain hotels, whether you have a handful of rooms or hundreds, we can deliver sustaining meals, snacks and a wide variety of refreshments around the clock. Vending is an affordable alternative, or extension of your food and beverage offering, shortening queues and easing the demand on the catering team at peak times, such as conference breaks. Providing choice beyond usual mealtimes and through the night. Hotel staff have reported better guest satisfaction scores attributed to the ready availability of more food, drink and snack options. Now that’s a great result!
A RANGE OF CHOICE
Whatever a guest fancies, whatever time they arrive at the hotel, options can satisfy their needs. We can serve up meals such as hot vended burgers, chips, pizzas, toasties and pasta pots, ideal for when the restaurant is closed. For guests looking to eat well when they’re away from home, we provide healthy snacks including fruit, nuts and cereal bars alongside comforting sugar fixes. There’s a wide choice of drinks from water, fresh juices, sugar-free fizzy drinks right through to energising barista style coffees, calming chai tea and indulgent hot chocolate. Something for all tastes, allergen and dietary requirements.
CASHLESS PAYMENT TECHNOLOGY
Making payment easy and manageable for travellers, we offer the convenience of cashless payment for guests. For staff, we can provide pre-loaded cards, unique pins and key fobs. Apple Pay or Google Wallet functionality is offered to enable payment by mobile phone. Some machines even have app capability allowing for pre-ordering of items and touchless operation. A convenient and hygienic
option for use in high footfall areas such as
hotel receptions.

CUSTOM KIOSKS BUILT AROUND YOU
Carefully positioned kiosks can be bespoke built to fit a particular space or circumstance. From a single coffee machine to a whole wall of food, snack and drinks machines to surround a welcoming eating and relaxing breakout area.
A FULLY MANAGED VENDING SOLUTION
Our services extend way beyond vending. We don’t just install machines and leave you to it, we can stock, clean, service and maintain the machines we supply. With our telematic software, we can intelligently track usage trends remotely and restock specifically to the taste of your guests, conference delegates and staff. Rely on us to take the hassle out of hotel vending provision, especially when you’re experiencing high occupancy. We are here to help – we can even turn a completely empty space into a vibrant deli style café. You can opt to rent, lease or buy machines and we can bespoke the look to fit your hotel brand or décor style.

Having the options machines around the hotel has greatly improved guest experience and has taken the strain away from our front of house staff. When specifying the machines we found options food and bevs experience invaluable, as they provided real insight into what works for guests in hotels at other locations.
With the maintenance, service and restocking contract in place, we can almost forget about the machines altogether. One thing we really have appreciated is the extra income generated by in-hotel vending machines.
