HEALTHY EATING
By offering healthier choices, we are helping to educate students from a young age, to look after their wellbeing, with convenient, healthy food and drinks in schools, colleges and universities. We work hard to meet both students’ and their parents’ healthy eating concerns and special dietary requirements.
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 students and staff. If you have a catering challenge, we are here to help – we can even turn a completely empty space into a vibrant deli style café.
CASHLESS PAYMENT TECHNOLOGY
Making payment easy and manageable, we work with the leading school technology brands to provide pre-loaded cards, unique pins and key fobs which are safe, secure, prevent overspend and allow parent tracking. Apple Pay or Google Wallet functionality is offered for users whose preference is to pay using their mobile phone. Some machines even have app capability allowing for pre-ordering of items and touchless operation.
OUR GREEN CREDENTIALS
The impact of vending on the environment is a very serious issue. Options lead the way in encouraging the use of reusable drinks containers and we reward those who utilise the onsite recycling machines provided alongside our vending machines. We empty and responsibly recycle the cups, cans and bottle waste. Encouraging young people to recycle and promote good environmental awareness, proves that everyone can make a difference and be rewarded.
