How much maintenance do these machines need?
Very little! Wendor machines are built for heavy campus usage. With real-time inventory alerts, you only restock when needed. No more constant manual checking.
Is it cost-effective compared to a cafeteria?
Absolutely. Vending machines have minimal overhead compared to a full canteen. You save on labor and space while providing better service at peak times.
Do students actually use them?
Yes! Modern students prefer cashless, quick transactions. Our machines support UPI and cards, making them the favorite spot for a quick bite.
Should a university pilot vending before a campus-wide rollout?
Yes. Academic blocks, residence zones, and libraries need different product mixes, so a pilot in a few high-traffic zones gives placement and assortment data before scaling to the whole campus.
How is vending in hostels and PGs different?
Demand peaks in the evening and late at night rather than between classes. Start with quick snacks, water, and daily essentials, then adjust by time-of-day sales.
Do libraries need a different setup?
Yes. Place machines where they do not disturb quiet zones, and tighten refills during exam and project weeks, when study hours and demand rise.
