Cold drink vending across Greater Brisbane: what sits where, why most machines are inside private sites, and how to get one installed at your workplace at no cost. Replies within 8 business hours.
Straight answer
Almost every cold drink machine in Brisbane is on private property — an office kitchen, a gym, a hospital ward corridor, a warehouse crib room, a council depot. Those locations are not published, because the machine belongs to an operator and the space belongs to the site. There is no industry register of machine positions in Australia.
The one public exception is Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, which lists some of its own branded machines through its own app. That locator covers Coca-Cola equipment only, not the wider market, and not ours.
So the map below does something more useful and entirely honest: it shows the Brisbane districts we service, the postcodes in each, and the kind of drink machine that typically goes into sites there. If you want a drink machine near you, the practical answer is to have one placed where you work — which for eligible sites costs nothing.

Questions
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Most vending machines in Brisbane sit inside private workplaces, gyms, hospitals and depots, so their locations are not published anywhere. The only large operator that publishes a public machine locator in Australia is Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, through its own app, and that only covers its own equipment. Our map on this page shows the Brisbane districts we service and what type of drink machine typically goes in each, not individual machine pins.
The fastest route is to have one placed at the site you work at or manage. If your Brisbane site has roughly 25 or more regular people through it, a cold drink machine can be installed at no cost: the operator owns, delivers, stocks and services it and keeps the sales revenue. Send the address and rough headcount and we will confirm whether the site qualifies within 8 business hours.
Nothing. No machine cost, no hire fee, no service charge and no lock-in contract. The site provides about one square metre of level floor, a standard 10A power point and access for restocking. Running the machine uses roughly 2 to 4 kWh a day, which is the site's only real cost.
Once a site is confirmed and matched to an operator run, delivery and installation in Brisbane metro is usually inside two weeks, and quicker where a machine is already on the truck for that area. We confirm the install date with you before delivery rather than turning up unannounced.
Yes. Every machine placed is fitted with tap-and-go as standard, accepting cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Cashless is the majority of vends on Brisbane office and campus sites, and card-only setups are available where a site prefers no cash on the premises.
It can when it is specified for it. Summer humidity loads the refrigeration hard, so cold drink machines in Brisbane get condenser cleaning on a shorter interval and are sited away from direct sun and loading-dock doorways. Open-sided or outdoor positions use a weather-rated cabinet rather than a standard indoor one.
Our Brisbane metro breakdown response target is 24 hours, and CBD, Valley and Milton callouts are frequently same day. If a machine takes money without vending, the refund is handled by the operator servicing that machine — report it with the machine location and approximate time and it is followed up.
Greater Brisbane, postcodes 4000–4179, including CBD, Fortitude Valley, South Bank, Newstead, Bowen Hills, Chermside, Mount Gravatt, Springwood, Ipswich, Redcliffe, plus the Trade Coast, Ipswich and Redcliffe. Sites outside those suburbs are matched to the nearest operator run rather than turned away.
