Customers relaxing in lounges often want a quick snack or drink without leaving the area. When there is no nearby store, these small purchases can easily be missed.
To provide convenient refreshments while creating additional sales opportunities, an Icelandic customer installed two snack vending machine units in a lounge. The large displays also provide an additional way to attract attention and promote products.
A lounge is a natural location for self-service food and beverage retail. Customers may want something to eat or drink while waiting, working, or relaxing.
The snack vending machine can offer products such as:
The snack and drink vending machine allows customers to purchase refreshments without leaving the lounge.
By installing two machines, the customer can provide more product choices and increase available inventory.
Different machines can also be configured with different product selections, allowing operators to test which snacks and drinks are most popular with lounge customers.
The snack vending machine supports adjustable cooling from 3–20°C, making it suitable for chilled beverages such as bottled water, soft drinks, juice, and other refrigerated products.
This gives customers the option to enjoy a cold drink while relaxing in the lounge.
Customers can view product information directly on the screen before purchasing.
Product images, descriptions, specifications, prices, and other information can be displayed, helping customers quickly understand what they are buying.
The system supports multi-buy promotions to encourage customers to purchase multiple products.
For example:
Buy 2 Snacks → Save 10%
This can increase the average transaction value while giving customers an attractive deal.
Operators can also create bundle discounts combining different products.
For example, a snack can be paired with a drink at a special price, encouraging customers to purchase more than one product from the snack and drink vending machine.
One of the most visible features of this project is the 55-inch screen.
The big screen vending machine can display product promotions, advertising videos, special offers, brand content, and other visual materials.
Instead of using the screen only for product selection, operators can use the large display to attract attention and create additional advertising opportunities.
For a lounge environment, the large screen also makes the vending machine more noticeable from a distance.
This snack vending machine solution is suitable for locations where customers spend time waiting or relaxing:
The combination of convenient food access and a big screen vending machine can work particularly well in locations with steady customer traffic.
