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 Philippines
Running vending machines in the Philippines
In the Philippines, GCash and Maya have made phone payments part of daily life, and QR Ph lets one code accept both. Operators need the usual trio of DTI or SEC registration, a Mayor’s permit and BIR registration.
How people pay in the Philippines
Wallet payments are now common in Metro Manila and major cities; cash is still used elsewhere.
- GCash and Maya
- The two dominant e-wallets.
- QR Ph
- The national interoperable QR standard.
- Cards
- Visa and Mastercard for offices, hotels and airports.
Licences and rules
- Business registration
- DTI (sole proprietors) or SEC (companies), plus a Mayor’s or business permit from the city or municipality.
- BIR registration
- Register with the Bureau of Internal Revenue and issue official receipts.
- FDA
- Food products sold must be FDA-registered, and some operations need an FDA licence to operate.
- VAT
- VAT is 12% for VAT-registered businesses.
Pricing and tax
Philippine projects are budgeted in pesos by machine type and payment setup.
- Landed cost includes freight, import duty and VAT.
- Wallet payments reduce cash handling and theft risk.
- Metro Manila offices and BPO sites are strong first placements.
On the ground
- Power
- 220 V at 60 Hz. Confirm the machine’s power specification for 60 Hz supply.
- Climate
- Heat, humidity and typhoon season: place machines indoors with surge protection.
- How we support the rollout
