Retail challenge
Mall purchase intent is easy to lose.
Shoppers buy on the move: on the way to the cinema, between anchor stores or while waiting. If the option is too far or too slow, the impulse is gone.
Weak capture in walkways
- Busy zones with no compact offer where demand appears.
- Short-lived intent fades if buying feels inconvenient.
- Premium destinations reject cluttered or off-brand retail.
Wendor mall retail layer
- Impulse products placed where people actually walk by.
- Cashless checkout and presentation that suit premium malls.
- Stock discipline for always-on public visibility.

Vending in Spain
Running vending machines in Spain
Spain has one of Europe’s most established vending markets, with machines in offices, hospitals, universities and stations. What’s changing is payment (contactless is now normal) and nutrition rules that limit what can be sold in schools and some public buildings.
How people pay in Spain
Contactless is now the standard way to pay at Spanish machines, although coins are still used in older sites.
- Contactless cards
- Visa and Mastercard debit and credit, tap-to-pay.
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Common in cities and with younger buyers.
- Coins
- Still expected in some public buildings; a cash module can be added if needed.
Licences and rules
- Food registration
- Vending operators register with their regional health authority, which feeds the national RGSEAA register overseen by AESAN.
- Nutrition rules
- Spanish law limits sales of products high in fat, salt and sugar in schools, and several regions extend similar rules to hospitals and public buildings.
- IVA (VAT)
- Standard IVA is 21%, with reduced rates for many foods. Invoices must show the right rate per product.
- CE marking
- Machines must carry CE marking and meet EU electrical safety and energy rules.
Pricing and tax
Spanish projects are quoted in euros and scoped by format, cooling and payment hardware.
- Quotes show shipping, EU import duty and IVA separately.
- Healthy-product machines are a strong fit where nutrition rules apply.
- Multi-site operators usually start with a pilot in one city before rolling out.
On the ground
- Power
- 230 V, 50 Hz with European plugs.
- Language
- Spanish on-screen text and labels (plus Catalan, Basque or Galician in some regions).
- 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
- OfficesCoffee-break snacks and drinks.
- Hospitals and health centresHealthy options that meet regional nutrition rules.
- UniversitiesLong opening hours and high footfall.
- Stations and airportsFast contactless purchases.
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.
