To enhance convenience and service, many companies use vending machines to provide food and beverages for their employees. In workplaces with shift schedules, these machines often become the primary meal option, especially during late hours.

Traditional vending machines typically offer drinks, snacks, and sweets. However, modern smart vending solutions can go beyond that, delivering customized meal options tailored to employees’ preferences—ranging from vegetarian and Asian cuisine to classic German comfort food.

SMART SOLUTIONS FOR CORPORATE CATERING

Cashless payment systems for vending machines

With the MAXXvend Hybrid Reader, we’ve created an industry-first vending machine reader featuring a unique touchscreen interface, making it highly versatile. While designed primarily for vending machines, MAXXvend can also be adapted for various other applications. The intuitive touchscreen allows for cashless payments and real-time balance top-ups directly at the machine—either to an RFID card or an online account. Employees can easily add funds using Girocard, credit card, Google Pay, Apple Pay, or payroll deductions, eliminating the need for costly top-up stations. Additionally, the display can be customized for advertising or daily menu updates.

Versatile Applications:

MAXXwash: Used in laundromats, allowing students to pay easily, securely, and cash-free at the washing machine using their RFID balance.
MAXXpark: Ideal for workplaces offering affordable parking. Installed at parking barriers, MAXXvend manages both access control and automatic fee deductions, either at a flat rate or based on parking duration.
MAXXeducation: Designed for school cafeterias, MAXXvend enables seamless entry through turnstiles, automatically deducting meal costs via RFID cards.
MAXXcash: A compact self-service POS system that functions as a menu validator or a small-scale register. It allows cashless payments in tight spaces or the collection of pre-ordered meals via the MAXXapp.

The MAXXvend reader also supports sustainability efforts. It can be used at deposit return machines for refunds or, alternatively, connected to a scanner to accept reusable dishes via QR code.
