What workplace teams feel

Pantry gaps cost time and goodwill.

Staff leave the building for a drink or a snack, pantries run out mid-afternoon and facilities teams chase refills by hand. A smart machine closes those gaps.

Traditional office pantry

  • Stock runs out and nobody notices until someone complains.
  • Cash boxes and honesty trays are hard to reconcile.
  • Late shifts and weekends have no service at all.

Wendor workplace layer

  • Snacks, drinks and essentials on the floor, around the clock.
  • Cashless checkout by card, wallet or QR in a few seconds.
  • Live stock and sales data so refills are planned, not guessed.

Why Wendor fits offices

Built for modern workplace convenience.

Machines that look right in a lobby or breakout area, take the payments your people already use and report every sale.

  1. Premium presence for workplaces

    Formats that look intentional in lobbies, breakout areas, meeting floors and shared amenity spaces.

  2. Cashless-first employee flow

    Checkout that matches how employees already pay: fast, contactless and with no cash to handle.

    • Cards, mobile wallets and QR payments on one screen.
    • No petty cash or honesty boxes to reconcile.
  3. Operational visibility

    Sales and stock data replace pantry guesswork, so the same service rhythm works across floors and sites.

Vending in Germany

Running vending machines in Germany

Germany is one of Europe’s largest vending markets, and one of the most rule-driven. Operators register a trade, follow EU food labelling, charge the Pfand deposit on single-use drink containers and support girocard alongside cash.

How people pay in Germany

Germans still use more cash than most of Europe, but contactless girocard and phone payments are now expected in offices and stations.

girocard
The national debit card, now mostly tap-to-pay.
Apple Pay and Google Pay
Common in offices and cities.
Visa and Mastercard
Credit cards and debit cards from newer banks.
Coins
Still expected in many public sites; plan a cash option where needed.

Licences and rules

Trade registration
Register the business with the local trade office (Gewerbeamt) and your tax office.
Food hygiene and labelling
Food businesses register with the local food control authority and follow the EU Food Information Regulation for labels and allergens.
Pfand (deposit)
Single-use drink bottles and cans carry a deposit that must be charged in the price and labelled.
VAT
Standard VAT is 19%, with 7% for many food products.

Pricing and tax

German projects are quoted in euros by machine class, cooling and payment terminal.

  • Quotes show shipping, EU import duty and VAT separately.
  • Telemetry-led service cuts the number of costly callouts.
  • Energy efficiency is often part of the buying decision for public and corporate sites.

On the ground

Power
230 V, 50 Hz with European plugs; CE marking required.
Language
German on-screen text and labels.
How we support the rollout
Our international team scopes the project with you, and every machine reports stock, sales and faults in real time. Most issues are diagnosed remotely, and you see the same dashboard we do.

Where first machines usually go

  • Offices and industrial sitesShift workers and staff canteens.
  • Hospitals and care homesStaff and visitors around the clock.
  • StationsHigh footfall, quick purchases.
  • UniversitiesStudents and staff.

This is a planning guide, not legal or tax advice. Rules and rates change, so confirm current requirements with the authority named before you launch. Which payment methods a machine accepts depends on the payment terminal and gateway chosen for your sites.

FAQ

Office vending machines: common questions

Questions from workplace, facilities and business park teams.

What products work best in an office vending machine?
Most offices start with packaged snacks, cold drinks, water and coffee-style products. Add breakfast items, healthier packs or a small non-food range such as chargers and tissues where demand shows up.
Do vending machines suit business parks and multi-tenant towers?
Yes, especially where access varies by building or by hour. Put machines near busy points such as lift lobbies and breakout areas instead of relying on one pantry or one staffed counter for everyone.
How does an office machine stay stocked?
Start with a realistic product plan, then use the live sales and stock data to schedule refills before items run out. Reliability comes from planning and a steady service rhythm.
Which payments should an office machine accept?
Cashless is the cleanest fit for offices: contactless cards, mobile wallets and QR payments. The exact methods depend on the payment terminal chosen for your market.
Can the same setup work across several buildings?
Usually yes. Prove the product mix and service rhythm at one site first, then adapt it for each floor or building rather than copying it blindly.
Can a coworking space run vending as a revenue line?
Yes. Many coworking operators treat vending as a member amenity and a small revenue stream. Start with popular snacks and drinks in busy member areas and adjust from the sales data.
