What is Vending Machine?

A vending machine is a self-service automated device designed to dispense a variety of products such as snacks, beverages, packaged foods, fresh meals, and even non-food items like toiletries, tickets, or electronics, in exchange for money or digital payments.

Widely installed in airports, hotels, offices, schools, hospitals, gyms, and public spaces, vending machines cater to today’s fast-paced lifestyles by offering convenience, speed, and accessibility while also supporting businesses with cost-effective, round-the-clock retail solutions.
