What is a Smart Fridge Vending Machine?

Smart fridge vending machines offer a secure, self-service system that provides greater flexibility for stocking fresh food, snacks and drinks without the limitations of traditional dispensing mechanisms.

Unlike traditional vending machines, customers simply unlock the smart fridge using contactless payment, browse the shelves just like they would at home, take the items they want and leave. The smart technology automatically recognises what’s been removed and processes the payment on exit.

At Cema Refreshments we can create a fully bespoke smart fridge vending machine for your commercial space or workplace, providing you with more flexibility for fresh food and drink offerings when compared to off-the-shelf systems.

Whether you’re a shared office, workplace, gym, hotel or leisure facility, smart fridges provide a convenient food and drink solution for staff workrooms, lobbies and reception areas.

What are the benefits of a smart fridge for your workplace?

Fresh food without the limitations of traditional vending

Smart fridge vending machines allow you stock everything from fresh meals and healthy snacks to premium drinks and grab-and-go meals. The overall design allows for businesses to create healthier food options in the workplace with flexibility to create an ever-changing selection to suit staff and visitors.

Offer flexible promotions and meal deals

You can easily introduce meal deals, seasonal offers and even promotional pricing to encourage onsite spending. So, when your customers preferences change throughout the year, so can your food and drink offering. Cool, right?

Designed around your business

Every smart fridge vending machine can offer a bespoke solution, tailored to the needs of your workplace. From external branding through the products you stock inside. This tailor-made solution can extend to whether you have a single unit, or the trio. Your smart fridge can grow alongside your business.

Simple for everyone to use

The familiar touchscreen interface allows staff and visitors to browse, select, and purchase items in seconds using secure contactless payment. The intuitive experience makes grabbing fresh food and drink quick and effortless.

Our Smart Fridge vending machines benefit from continuous sotware improvements, responsive support and ongoing feature development that isn’t possible with many off-the-shelf systems.
