Hospital vending — a different rulebook Hospitals aren't offices. Machines run 24/7, serve staff on shift plus visitors, and must meet infection-control and noise standards.
What matters - **Cashless-only** on many sites — reduces cash handling and infection risk. - **Low-noise refrigeration** (glass-front elevators run quieter than stack drops). - **Healthy Choices compliance** — many state-run hospitals require Green/Amber/Red labelling with a minimum % of Green options. - **24-hour restock windows** and remote telemetry — Nayax/Vendon let operators see stock levels without a physical visit.
Machine mix that works 1 × 40-selection snack (AMS Sensit) + 1 × 9-selection cold drink (Royal 660) + optional coffee unit for staff rooms.
