Long shifts and visiting hours need flexible refreshments. Explore vending for suitable staff rooms and visitor spaces.
Night shifts, long appointments and visiting hours can make nearby refreshments especially useful. AI vending machines offer a self-service option for suitable staff rooms, visitor areas and shared healthcare spaces.
Some facilities may need chilled snacks and drinks, while others could benefit from self-service coffee machines. We’ll help assess the equipment against expected use, available space and site requirements.

Compact vending for offices, receptions and small sites.

Start with your facilities team’s approval. The location must suit patient and visitor movement without obstructing corridors, access routes or clinical activity. Confirm power, connectivity, cleaning requirements and the space needed for servicing and replenishment.
A machine in an accessible staff area can provide snacks and drinks when the main catering facilities are unavailable. Plan the product range around shift patterns, expected use and suitable replenishment times so refreshments remain available when needed.
Compact equipment may suit a clinic reception or designated staff room without requiring a large floor area. The HAHA 360 Mini is one option to consider, subject to site approval, accessibility, machine dimensions and operational requirements.
A larger staff facility may benefit from a self-service retail area with shelving, suitable refrigeration and a micro-market checkout kiosk. This arrangement can support a broader food and drink selection, provided there is space and a plan for stock management and cleaning.
Equipment and products must be suitable for the facility’s cleaning, food handling and infection prevention policies. GOV.UK’s food hygiene guidance covers general food business responsibilities. Your healthcare organisation’s own requirements should also guide placement, stocking and maintenance.
Staff areas and visitor spaces have different needs. Discuss access, placement and product choices before selecting equipment for your healthcare site.
