3 Signs It’s Time to Upgrade Your Vending Machine

If your vending machine looks like it hasn’t been updated since the 90s — you’re not alone. Many businesses don’t realize how much of a difference modern vending can make. Here are three clear signs it’s time for an upgrade:

1. Frequent Breakdowns or Refund Requests
A reliable vending machine should just work. If your staff constantly reports jammed snacks or payment issues, you’re overdue for a tech refresh.

2. Limited or Outdated Product Choices
Today’s employees want options — including healthy snacks, sparkling waters, or energy drinks. If your machine still only offers the basics, it’s not meeting today’s expectations.

3. No Touchless or Cashless Payments
Post-COVID, many people expect to pay with a tap or phone. Smart vending machines make checkout seamless, and they even alert us when it’s time to restock.
