Services Options

Maintaining and servicing your vending machines efficiently and cost-effectively is vital. There are various options to consider:

Contract Operation

Contract operation is a popular choice as all day-to-day functions of the vending operation are handled by PK Vending.

Machines are supplied and installed by PK Vending who then maintains and services them for a stipulated contract period. All ingredients and products are supplied by PK Vending, who then fills and cleans the machine and collects and accounts for any cash takings if applicable.

The prices to be charged for vended products will be decided jointly by you the customer and PK vending, and will depend on whether PK Vending will be paid entirely from the cash proceeds of sales or by means of a separate service charge/rebate.

The level of service required will vary depending on type of machine, types of products, consumption patterns and your operational activities.

PK Vending offer flexible contract periods and transparent calculation models

Self-fill Operation

Machines are purchased or leased from PK Vending and you may then decide to fill, cash and service your own vending machines.

Relevant products can be purchased from PK Vending or any local Wholesaler.

The Self Fill option may be suitable to an organisation that has catering staff, or one that has enough machines to warrant employing someone to control ordering and storage, cleaning and servicing, as well as accounting for and banking the cash takings.

All-inclusive Cup Cost

The all-inclusive cup cost amalgamates the capital and running costs of a beverage vending service into a single charge per cup (similar to a photocopier contract being charged out per click).

The cost per cup will include a lease element to cover the capital costs of the vending machine together with the service and consumable elements for the ingredients, cups, cleaning and maintenance. Some customers prefer schemes such as these, which base the financial relationship totally on the cup usage.

The minimum number of cups to which you are asked to commit will relate to the circumstances on the particular site during the contract term. PK Vending proposals are based on drinks consumed per person per day and industry experience suggests that consumers will normally consume 3 drinks if they are provided free.
