From drinks and snacks, to toys, DVDs, photos, rides and singing competitions - the opportunities for vending in the leisure arena are as wide as they are diverse. Though not the primary reason for a customer’s visit, vending machines not only extend the customer’s length of stay, but add value to the experience, offering facilities managers their return on investment several times over.

Ideal for the leisure the environment, the SnackBreak Ultima from leading British Manufacturer DarenthMJS is a high capacity Glass Fronted Machine that is perfect for those sites that want to display a large product offering.

The SnackBreak Ultima has an incredible maximum capacity of 784 products and the ability to hold cans, PET bottles, confectionary, crisps and a wide range of healthy eating options.

As an optional extra, the SnackBreak Ultima also incorporates the highly popular and unique to DarenthMJS can module. Using a dual zone refrigeration system the can module holds an impressive 116 can capacity and ensures all cans are delivered ice cold.

With such a wide range of product choices available from the SnackBreak Ultima, the market has grown past the stage where consumers can buy products with loose change alone. DarenthMJS have therefore designed the machine to be compatible with a variety of payment choices, including the renowned and much trusted I-Key cashless payment system, a high security note acceptor and now a credit/debit card payment solution. Commenting on the new payment options, key Account Manager Vicky Johnson said: “All of these payment systems have been proven in the field to increase impulse purchases by consumers by as much as 30% and remove all of the barriers to purchase that previously might have existed.”

It’s not just food and drink that is boosting sales in the leisure sector. Leisure Vending includes novelty items such as toy capsules and sweets; toiletries, sanitary products, umbrellas – you name it, the industry has thought of it. This offers a number of opportunities for shops, pubs, restaurants, hotels and other leisure facilities to widen their profit margins both directly as a result of the machine, and indirectly by increasing customer footfall and length of stay. Vended experiences such as rides and photos are also very lucrative.
