We’re excited to introduce four new smart fridges now available through The Vend Shop. Designed for a variety of locations and use cases, from high-traffic commercial areas to small offices and frozen meal vending, these additions give operators more ways to run efficient, cashless, unattended retail with built-in AI technology.
Each smart fridge (also known as a smart cooler in other locations around the world) includes advanced product recognition, cashless payment support, and remote management capabilities. But what really sets them apart is how well they suit different operational needs. Here's a closer look at what makes each one unique.
Ideal for: Versatile everyday vending across snacks and drinks in medium to large locations.

1. What is a smart fridge, and how is it different from a standard vending machine?
A smart fridge like the Haha range uses AI to track what’s taken and charge the customer automatically. There are no spirals or buttons. It’s faster, easier, and more intuitive than traditional vending machines.
2. How does the fridge know what I’ve taken?
It uses built-in AI and cameras to recognise the products that are taken. The system automatically charges the customer based on what was removed.
3. Do I have to pay before I open the fridge?
Yes, the fridge stays locked until a valid payment method (card, mobile wallet, or QR code) is presented. After payment, the fridge unlocks, and you can grab your items.
4. Can I put any drinks or food in the fridge?
You can stock a wide range of chilled products, from drinks and fresh meals to snacks and protein products. The shelves are adjustable to fit different sizes.
5. Are these fridges easy for customers to use?
Yes, guests simply unlock, grab what they want, and walk away. There’s no need for scanning or manual checkout.
6. Can I track sales and inventory remotely?
Yes, you can monitor live sales data, stock levels, and receive alerts when restocking is needed through the back-end dashboard.
7. How easy is it to refill or restock the fridge?
It’s as easy as stocking a normal fridge. The shelves are adjustable, and the system tracks sales to alert you when items are low.
8. What payment methods do the fridges accept?
Haha smart fridges accept cashless payments, including debit and credit cards, mobile wallets like Apple Pay, and QR code-based payments.
9. Where is the best location for a Haha smart fridge?
Haha smart fridges are perfect for lobbies, common areas, gyms, staff rooms, or anywhere you want to offer guests and customers convenient, self-service access to food and drinks.
10. Can I customise the fridge to match my property’s branding?
Yes, the fridges can be wrapped with your property’s branding for a cohesive look and feel that matches your space’s design.
