Canteen hours don’t suit everyone. Compare vending options for break rooms used by rotating teams and overnight workers.
Early starts, night shifts and staggered breaks don’t always suit canteen hours. AI vending machines offer factory and warehouse teams access to drinks and snacks throughout their shifts.
Busy production sites may need more capacity than smaller break rooms. Consider staff numbers, product needs and restocking frequency. Our site-planning guidance helps compare suitable setups.

Offer drinks and snacks outside canteen hours where accessible.

Choose machine capacity based on staff numbers during breaks.

Stock everyday essentials in suitable staff areas with a smart retail cabinet.

Provide tea and coffee in suitably equipped staff facilities.
Compact vending for offices, receptions and small sites.
Frozen vending for meals,
ice cream and freezer goods.
A designated staff area separated from vehicle movements is generally a more appropriate choice. Machines must not obstruct pedestrian routes, emergency exits or operational access. The HSE’s workplace transport guidance covers important considerations for separating people and vehicles.
Plan stock quantities around worker numbers, scheduled breaks and typical purchasing patterns. Teams starting overnight may have different needs from daytime employees. Replenishment can be arranged around quieter periods where practical, with suitable access for the people managing the machines.
Yes, with equipment suited to the intended food range. Refrigerated vending can accommodate compatible chilled products, while suitable freezer machines support frozen meals. Storage requirements, power availability and replenishment arrangements should determine which combination works for your site.

Provide estimated staff numbers for each shift, break schedules, proposed locations and preferred products. Power, connectivity and delivery access will also influence equipment suitability. These details help our UK-based team compare available machines against the practical requirements of your workplace.
