Why Working With Cafebec Is Smarter Than Buying Your Own Snack & Drink Vending Machines
For businesses, property managers, and building owners in the Greater Montreal Area, offering on-site snacks and cold drinks has become less of a luxury and more of an expectation. The real question is no longer whether to have a vending machine—but how to do it the smart way.
Many locations initially consider buying their own snack & drink vending machine. On the surface, it may seem like a one-time investment. In reality, ownership often brings hidden costs, operational headaches, and ongoing responsibilities that most businesses don’t want to manage.
This is where Cafebec’s full-service snack & drink vending solution makes all the difference.
The Hidden Costs of Buying Your Own Snack & Drink Vending Machine
Buying a vending machine means more than purchasing equipment—it means running a mini retail operation.
When you own the machine, you are responsible for:
High upfront purchase costs
Repairs, breakdowns, and technical issues
Product sourcing and inventory management
Regular refilling and rotation
Spoiled or expired products
Payment system updates (cashless, cards, mobile)
Customer complaints when something doesn’t work
Over time, these responsibilities consume time, money, and internal resources—often far more than expected.
