- Members have no access once the counter closes.
- Staffing and wastage make it hard to scale.

Vending in Mexico
Running vending machines in Mexico
Mexico mixes cash habits with fast-growing card and QR payments. Front-of-pack warning labels (NOM-051) and the ban on junk food in schools shape what machines can sell, and taxes include IEPS on sugary drinks and high-calorie foods.
How people pay in Mexico
Cash remains common, so many operators combine a coin or note module with contactless cards and QR.
- Debit and credit cards
- Contactless Visa and Mastercard.
- QR wallets
- Mercado Pago and bank QR payments, depending on the gateway.
- Cash
- Coins and notes are still expected in many public sites.
Licences and rules
- Tax registration
- Register with the SAT (RFC) and issue CFDI electronic invoices when requested.
- Municipal licence
- A local operating licence (licencia de funcionamiento) and the site owner’s permission.
