A FULLY MANAGED SOLUTION
Our services go 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 telemetric software we intelligently track usage trends remotely and restock specifically to the taste of your patients, staff and visitors. Rely on us to take the hassle out of care home vending provision. We are here to help – we can even turn a completely empty space into a vibrant deli style café for residents and visitors.
Options Management really understood our needs to provide residents with top quality drinks. We moved away from providing drinks using a traditional kettles and urns and switched to vended coffee. It’s been so much easier and quicker for staff and residents and their visitors love the choice on offer now. They love a “frothy coffee”! The service plan including cleaning and re-stocking has ensured that the provision of drinks keeps flowing, hassle-free.
