Choosing a vending provider isn’t just about filling a machine with snacks and drinks. It’s about supporting your employees, creating a smooth breakroom experience, and partnering with a company that understands your needs. With so many vending providers—both national and local—it can be difficult to know which one will truly deliver the service, reliability, and customization your workplace deserves.
Before making a decision, facility managers, operations leaders, and HR teams should ask the right questions to ensure they’re choosing a vending company that aligns with their goals. Here are the most important questions to consider, along with how A&M Vending Corp confidently answers each one.
1. Do you charge for machine installation or service?
Some vending companies include hidden fees for delivery, machine setup, or ongoing maintenance. Those surprise costs can add up quickly.
How A&M Vending Answers:
A&M Vending Corp installs all vending machines completely free of charge. There are no setup fees, no service fees, and no maintenance fees—ever. Your business gets modern equipment at no cost.
2. How often do you restock the machines?
Restocking schedules can vary widely between vending providers. Inconsistent refills lead to empty shelves, expired products, and frustrated employees.
How A&M Vending Answers:
We restock proactively, based on your workplace usage. Our team monitors inventory, adjusts product quantities, and makes sure your breakroom is always full. No more guessing or waiting for refills.
3. Do your machines support cashless payments?
With fewer people carrying cash, vending machines need modern payment options to stay convenient.
How A&M Vending Answers:
All of our machines support credit cards, debit cards, and mobile payment apps, making purchases fast and hassle-free. Employees get the convenience they expect in today’s workplace.
4. What types of products can we offer our team?
A good vending company should offer more than the basics. Your employees want variety—and the ability to request products they enjoy.
How A&M Vending Answers:
We customize snack and drink selections for every location. Want healthier choices? More cold beverages? Energy drinks? Specialty items? We tailor your vending menu based on employee preferences and your goals.
5. How quickly do you respond to service issues?
Machine jams, card reader errors, or mechanical issues can negatively impact employee experience. Slow response times make things worse.
How A&M Vending Answers:
Because we’re a local Central Florida company, we provide fast, reliable service. If something goes wrong, our team responds quickly and resolves the issue. No waiting on a national hotline or delayed repair schedules.
6. How clean and well-maintained are your machines?
A vending machine in poor condition reflects badly on your workplace. Cleanliness and reliability matter.
How A&M Vending Answers:
We take machine maintenance seriously. Each visit includes cleaning, product rotation, and equipment checks. Your machines will always look organized, clean, and ready to use.
7. Can you scale your service as our business grows?
Growing teams may require additional machines, expanded product selections, or even micro-market upgrades.
How A&M Vending Answers:
Absolutely. We support workplaces of all sizes—from small offices to large manufacturing plants. As your needs grow, we can add more machines, diversify product offerings, or introduce upgraded breakroom solutions.
8. Do you offer micro-markets or advanced breakroom options?
Some workplaces benefit from an upgraded breakroom setup with grab-and-go meals, snacks, and a self-checkout kiosk.
How A&M Vending Answers:
We offer micro-markets for businesses looking to elevate their breakroom experience. These custom-designed stations provide employees with a broader variety of fresh food, drinks, and snacks in an open, modern setup.
9. Are you a local company or a national chain?
National companies often have slower response times and less personalized service. Local providers, on the other hand, understand your region and serve with more care.
How A&M Vending Answers:
A&M Vending Corp is locally owned and operated in Central Florida. We know the community, understand regional preferences, and prioritize fast, friendly service.
