Flights, cruise ships, buses and coaches bring a constant flow of people through Gibraltar, and most of them spend some of the trip waiting. A machine gives them a drink and a snack while they do.
Gibraltar International Airport handles flights to and from the UK, the cruise terminal on the North Mole welcomes ship passengers through the season, and buses and coaches carry residents and day visitors around the Rock.
All of them involve waiting: for a delayed flight, for the rest of a coach party, for the next bus or for the walk back to the ship. A machine in the right spot gives people a drink and a snack while they wait.
Delays are the classic example. When a flight is held, a lot of people suddenly have an hour to fill and nowhere to go.
Multi-storey car parks such as Midtown, coach parks and taxi ranks see a lot of people pass through. Drivers waiting for passengers, coach drivers on a break and families heading back to the car are all likely customers.
Taxi drivers waiting for fares at the airport or the cruise terminal also spend long stretches in their cars. A machine near the rank gives them a drink without losing their place.
Machines can go indoors or outside, so a covered spot by a car park lift or pay station can work as well as a terminal building.
Coach parks are busiest when cruise ships and coach tours arrive, with groups gathering before they set off and again before they leave.
Transport sites need machines that are quick to use. Ours are card-only and take contactless cards and phone payments, including cards issued in Spain and further afield, so nobody needs the right change in pounds.
Most transport sites go on our Standard plan: a one-off installation fee and no monthly fee. We install the machine, restock it from its sales data and repair it if anything goes wrong. Plenty of travellers stay nearby, which is why we also run machines in hotels.
Travellers want a drink, something to eat on the move and, now and then, the toothbrush they left at home.
We choose each machine's range using sales data from across Gibraltar, and we change it as we learn what sells at your site. Tell us your favourites and we'll add them. See the specs of our Mini, Mighty and Mega machines.
We check your space on a free site visit before anything is agreed. These are the spots that tend to work best. All the machine needs is a standard plug socket.
The obvious spot: seats, people and time to spare.
For travellers who've just landed and want a drink before they set off.
Every driver passes the lifts, and a machine there is easy to find and easy to restock.
For drivers on a break and groups waiting to move on, in a covered spot with power.
