Free Vending Machine Placement for Victorian Workplaces
No lease. No rental. No insurance or service fees. We supply the machine, deliver and install it, keep it stocked and repair it — your team only pays for what they buy. That's how $0 COST hire works: machine sales pay for the placement and the vending service.
A typical $0 COST hire placement: one combo cabinet, one square metre, one power outlet.
The short answer
Free vending machine placement means Free Vending Machines Melbourne matches your site with a local vending machine owner-operator who supplies, installs, stocks and services the machine at no cost to your business. You provide roughly one square metre of floor space and a 240V power outlet. Melbourne workplaces with about 20+ staff on site or 50+ daily visitors typically qualify, and the machine is removed free of charge if the site doesn't suit either party — a placed machine does need to make sales to stay.
What's included at zero cost
The vending machine itself — modern, late-model equipment
Delivery, positioning and commissioning at your site
Three steps: choose your suburb, choose a machine, then send your site details. You'll get an instant email confirmation, then a machine recommendation and install window — usually same day, or really within 3 hours.

Placements like yours
Two of the four detailed case studies — one office, one industrial site — with the problem, the machines placed and what changed afterwards.
Office · Melbourne CBD
Professional services office cuts the 3pm coffee run
Site size
About 70 staff across two floors
Machines placed
One snack and drink combo plus a bean-to-cup coffee machine
The problem
Staff were walking ten minutes each way to the nearest café for an afternoon coffee and snack, and the kitchen honesty box was constantly empty and never reconciled.
What we placed
A combo cabinet went into the lift lobby on level 3 with a coffee machine beside it. The planogram was set at roughly half better-for-you options, and cold drinks were weighted to sparkling water and no-sugar lines after the first two restocks.
Result
Afternoon break time down from around 20 minutes to under 5
Honesty box retired — no more chasing float or unpaid stock
Restock frequency settled at weekly after four weeks of sales data
Zero cost to the business: no lease, service fee or stock outlay
“The part we underestimated was how much time the café walk was quietly costing us. The machine paid for itself in hours back, and we never see an invoice for it.”
— Office Manager, professional services firm, Melbourne CBD
Warehouse · Dandenong South
Distribution centre keeps night shift fed without a canteen
Site size
About 120 staff over three shifts
Machines placed
Two combo machines and a chilled drinks cabinet
The problem
Night and early shifts had no food option at all once the on-site canteen closed at 2pm. Crews were leaving site in vehicles for servo food, which was both a fatigue and a WHS concern.
What we placed
Machines were placed in the crib room and near the despatch office so both ends of the warehouse were covered. Fully cashless with tap-and-go, so there is no cash on site overnight, and the mix leans to substantial food, cold drinks and electrolyte lines for summer.
Result
Off-site food runs during night shift effectively stopped
Two placement points meant no queueing at shift change
No cash handling and no float for the site to manage
Hydration lines added for summer at the site's request, at no cost
“Getting people to stay on site overnight was the win. They eat, they hydrate, and nobody's driving to a servo at 2am on a break.”
— Operations Manager, distribution centre, Dandenong South
“Installed in under an hour and the crew had it figured out in about ten seconds. Tap and go, no cash, no fuss.”
Site Supervisor · Laverton North · Warehouse
“I asked for more no-sugar drinks after the first fortnight and they just changed it. No charge, no argument.”
Office Manager · Richmond · Office
“The machine went in with zero paperwork on our side beyond confirming the spot and the power point.”
Yes. There is no purchase price, lease, rental or service charge. We fund the machine through product sales, so your business pays nothing for placement, delivery, installation, restocking or repairs.
What does my business need to provide?
Around one square metre of accessible floor space, a standard 240V power outlet within reach, and clear access for a delivery trolley on install day.
How many staff do I need to qualify?
As a guide, workplaces with 15–20 or more staff, or sites with steady daily visitor traffic, qualify for free placement. Smaller sites may still qualify if foot traffic is high or the site runs multiple shifts.
How long does installation take?
Once your site is confirmed, most installations are booked within one to two weeks. The install itself typically takes under an hour, including positioning, power-up and first stocking.
Can we choose what is stocked?
Yes. You approve the planogram before install and can change it any time — including healthy-only, low-sugar, halal-friendly or allergy-aware ranges.
What if the machine doesn't work out?
We remove it free of charge. There is no lock-in contract and no exit fee.
