Technological advancements have played a pivotal role in making our lives easier. We have the whole world at the tip of our fingers. Smartphones, cheap data connections, payment apps, etc.
Technology has also led to the digitization of payment methods and payment options allowing for a cashless payment system to exist. Earlier, vending machines could only accept cash and coins as payment options but modern payment solutions and technology allow you to pay using your phones and even QR codes!
Modern robot coffee vending machines offer a range of options:
Coin-operated
This is perhaps the most common and certainly the longest-established means of collecting payment. It is just as it says – the customer inserts coins in payment for the beverage dispensed. Some coin-operated systems require the correct amount of money to be inserted, while others incorporate a change-giving mechanism.
Cashless systems
Increasingly popular, however, are entirely cashless systems, relying on the customer’s use of a pre-paid card or key. This is loaded in advance with whatever monetary balance the user may choose and debited with the cost of hot drinks dispensed by the vending machine. Some cashless systems may allow you to program card-holders’ accounts so that the vending machine is a source of rewards, promotions or even “happy hours”.
Credit cards
Some robot vending machines can also be fitted with a credit card reader so that the user simply inserts his or her card to make payment for any beverages dispensed by the vending machine.
