The drinks vending machine, from the people who run 300+ of them
The chilled drinks vending machine is the workhorse of Singapore vending — we have run them for a decade, stocked from our own distributor warehouse, serviced on four island-wide routes, and available two ways: placed free at qualifying sites that earn commission on every sale, or bought and rented outright.
The machine
| Selections | Up to 30 — cans and PET bottles across lit shelf rows |
| Capacity | ~420 cans |
| Size (H×D×W) | 183 × 64 × 100 cm — about one square metre of floor |
| Power | 0.53 kW from a standard 13A socket — about a small fridge |
| Payments | NETS, NETS QR, PayNow, contactless Visa/Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, EZ-Link, notes and coins |
What goes in it decides what comes out of it
A drinks vending machine is only as good as its range and its refill schedule. Because we are part of Singapore's largest beverage distributor, the shelf draws on a distributor's warehouse rather than a reseller's catalogue: soft drinks, isotonic, coffee and tea, juices, energy drinks and water — the brands people already reach for, including Healthier Choice, halal-certified and lower-sugar lines. The range is agreed before the first fill, then adjusted by what actually sells.
Every machine sits on one of our four fixed service routes, restocked and cleaned to schedule. An empty machine earns nobody anything — which is why the route matters more than the machine.
Two ways to get one
1. Free placement — the machine pays you
If your site has the headcount, we place the drinks machine at no cost: we own it, stock it, service it and insure it, and your site earns a commission on every sale, read from the machine's own transaction records. This is the right answer for workplaces, dorms, venues and residential developments — check in about a minute whether your site qualifies.
2. Buy or rent the machine
If you control a strong site and want to keep every cent it takes, we sell and rent the same drinks machines we operate ourselves — with local parts, our technical team behind it, and stock supply from our warehouse if you want out of the purchasing job.
Drinks machine or combo?
The drinks-only machine is what most sites start with — drinks are the highest-frequency purchase in any Singapore workplace. Sites with long dwell times, shift work or no canteen usually do better adding snacks: the glass-panel combo machine puts spiral snack rows next to the chilled shelf. Many strong sites run both side by side, and larger buildings step up to a Vending Mart corner. We recommend the split at the site survey rather than guessing.
Common questions
How much does a drinks vending machine cost in Singapore?
If your site qualifies for placement — nothing. We supply, stock, service and insure the machine, and pay your site a commission on every sale. For outright purchase or monthly rental we quote by model and configuration — see sales and rental.
Can we choose the drinks?
Yes. The range is agreed before the first fill and adjusted once we see what sells. Healthier Choice, halal-certified and lower-sugar lines are all available.
Who fixes it when something goes wrong?
We do — faults are our cost and our problem, including refunds if the machine takes payment without dispensing. Your site sits on a fixed route, so it is checked and refilled to schedule as standard.
How fast can a machine be on site?
From first enquiry to a working machine is typically about two weeks for a placement: site check, survey, terms, installation.
