5 times the real cost of a beverage dispenser (and how to avoid them)

Beverage dispensers seem like a convenient choice, but what if we told you that with smart dispensers you can not only save costs, but also eliminate your waste?

Because behind that convenient device is often a whole list of hidden costs. From energy guzzlers to employees balking at the prices (€1.80 for a bottle of water?!).

Here are 5 reasons why replace should make way for refill. 🫙

1. Energy consumption: a power guzzler in the office

Your vending machine is on 24/7 because those cans need to stay cold. That means you're unknowingly taking a big chunk out of your energy bill - even at night and on weekends. An average vending machine can consume hundreds of extra euros in power every year. That's not exactly friendly to your budget (or the environment).

2. Maintenance: "temporarily out of service"

You know the drill: fancy a refreshing drink, but that vending machine refuses service. Or worse, your euro gets stuck in the machine. Oops. Breakdowns and repairs not only cost time and money, but are also frustrating for your team. And let's face it, no one wants a machine that breaks down more often than in use.

3. Employees should pay: really?

It's 3 p.m., you need a fresh pick-me-up, and then you see that a can of soda costs €1.80. Those prices tick up sharply, especially when employees buy drinks every day. It feels a bit like making a profit on your own team, and that leaves a nasty aftertaste (pun intended).

4. Logistics: hassle, hassle, hassle

You pay not only for the vending machine, but also for the drinks you have to order separately. Those crates have to be lugged to the office, the vending machine has to be replenished regularly, and someone has to manage the waste. That all sounds like extra work that no one really wants to do, right?

5. True pricing: you always pay more than you think you do

A vending machine may seem inexpensive, but that is only the beginning. Consider hidden costs such as plastic waste that must be recycled, transportation emissions for delivery of cans, and the environmental impact involved. The real price tag is often a lot higher than you might think at first glance.
