Weak capture in walkways
- Busy zones with no compact offer where demand appears.
- Short-lived intent fades if buying feels inconvenient.
- Premium destinations reject cluttered or off-brand retail.

Retail challenge
Mall purchase intent is easy to lose.
Shoppers buy on the move: on the way to the cinema, between anchor stores or while waiting. If the option is too far or too slow, the impulse is gone.
Wendor mall retail layer
- Impulse products placed where people actually walk by.
- Cashless checkout and presentation that suit premium malls.
- Stock discipline for always-on public visibility.
Why Wendor fits retail destinations
Merchandising and checkout in one flow.
Compact self-service retail, not a fallback snack machine, with strong presentation and operator visibility.
Intentional product presentation
In a mall, the machine must look commercially credible from a distance and be easy to shop in seconds.
Brand-forward surfaces
Room for brand visibility, campaign storytelling and a polished product encounter in public space.
- Stronger than a generic snack box in a premium destination.
- Space for activation-style retail moments.
Cashless reliability and retail visibility
Always stocked, sale-ready and in line with how shoppers pay today.

Vending in Egypt
Running vending machines in Egypt
Egypt’s payments are moving quickly from cash to Meeza cards, InstaPay and mobile wallets. Operators register with the National Food Safety Authority, issue e-receipts to the Tax Authority and plan for currency swings in import costs.
How people pay in Egypt
Cash is still common, but cards, wallets and InstaPay are growing fast in Cairo and Alexandria.
- Meeza
- The national debit card scheme, including contactless.
- Mobile wallets
- Vodafone Cash and other operator wallets.
- InstaPay and Fawry
- Instant bank transfers and the Fawry payment network.
- Visa and Mastercard
- For offices, hotels and airports.
Licences and rules
- Company setup
- Register the company through GAFI and with the tax authority.
- Food safety
- The National Food Safety Authority (NFSA) regulates food handling, storage and labelling.
- VAT and e-receipts
- VAT is 14%, and retail sales are moving onto the Egyptian Tax Authority’s e-receipt system.
- Imports
- Machinery imports need customs clearance and importer registration.
Pricing and tax
Egyptian projects are budgeted in EGP, with the machine priced in a foreign currency and converted at order.
- Lock the exchange rate at order where possible; the pound has moved a lot in recent years.
- Landed cost includes freight, customs duty and 14% VAT.
- Pilot in Cairo offices or universities before scaling.
On the ground
- Power
- 220 V, 50 Hz with European plugs. Surge protection recommended.
- Heat
