Vending for Accommodation: Smarter Self-Service Retail for Every Property

Guests today expect more than just a mini bar. From late-night snacks to barista-style coffee and fresh meals, modern accommodation operators are rethinking how to deliver convenience, generate revenue, and reduce labour.

That’s where The Vend Shop comes in. Our smart fridges, coffee machines, and vending machines provide 24/7 access to food and drinks in lobbies, lounges, and other high-traffic zones.

Let’s explore some of our solutions that are built for accommodation.

CV Express: The All-in-One Self-Serve Solution

Designed to meet the needs of accommodation operators, the CV Express combines a SKOPE smart fridge with a built-in touchscreen and payment system. It gives guests access to fresh meals, snacks, drinks, or even wellness items, all within a branded, secure system that you control.

Key features:

• Custom wrap options to match your accommodation’s branding
