Cold drink vending across Greater Melbourne: 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 Melbourne is on private property — an office kitchen, a gym, a hospital corridor, a warehouse crib room, a council depot. Those positions are not published, because the machine belongs to an operator and the space belongs to the site. There is no industry register of machine locations 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 Melbourne districts we service, the postcodes in each, and the kind of drink machine that typically goes into sites there. Melbourne swings hard between a 40-degree week and a cold snap, so machines need to sell chilled drinks in a heatwave and hot-drink alternatives the rest of the year.

Questions
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Almost every cold drink machine in Melbourne sits inside a private workplace, gym, hospital, club or depot, so its location is not published anywhere and 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. Our map shows the Melbourne districts we service and the type of drink machine typically placed there, not individual machines.
The practical answer is to have one placed where you work. If your Melbourne 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 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 the site is confirmed and matched to an operator already running that part of Greater Melbourne, delivery and installation in Melbourne metro is usually inside two weeks, and quicker where a machine is already on the truck for that area. The install date is confirmed with you before delivery.
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 office and campus sites, and card-only setups are available where a site prefers no cash on the premises.
Melbourne swings hard between a 40-degree week and a cold snap, so machines need to sell chilled drinks in a heatwave and hot-drink alternatives the rest of the year. Machines are specified to suit: refrigeration duty, cabinet type and restock frequency are set by the site, not sold as one-size-fits-all. Open-sided or outdoor positions use a weather-rated cabinet rather than a standard indoor one.
Our Melbourne metro breakdown response target is 24 hours. 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.
