Our clients
Organisations whose sites host Wendor machines
Resident needs
Daily needs are small and urgent.
Water, a snack, tissues, a charger: residents would rather buy them in the building than make a trip to the shop.
Trips outside the building
- Late-night needs when shops are shut or delivery is too slow.
- Short trips for basics are a chore in large compounds.
- Property teams do not want another unmanaged refill job.
Wendor residential layer
- A trusted common-area amenity residents can rely on.
- Cashless buying that stays simple for families and guests.
- Stock and service visibility so the machine stays useful.

Vending in Nepal
Running vending machines in Nepal
In Nepal, QR payments have overtaken cards for everyday purchases, so a machine that can’t take eSewa, Khalti or Fonepay misses most buyers. Machines come in from India, so landed cost and customs clearance are part of every plan.
How people pay in Nepal
Scan-to-pay is how Nepal pays in shops, and the same habit works at a machine.
- Fonepay QR
- The interoperable QR used by most Nepali bank apps.
- eSewa and Khalti
- The two largest digital wallets.
- Cards
- Visa and Mastercard for hotels, airports and visitors.
Licences and rules
- Company and tax registration
- Register the business with the Office of the Company Registrar and get a PAN/VAT number from the Inland Revenue Department.
- Food quality
- Packaged food must meet the Department of Food Technology and Quality Control’s labelling and quality standards.
- VAT
- VAT is 13% once you are registered.
- Customs
- Machines imported from India clear Nepali customs; plan duty and clearance time into the budget.
Pricing and tax
A broad planning range is NPR 2,00,000 to NPR 10,00,000 per machine, depending on type, cooling and payment hardware.
- Landed cost = machine price + freight from India + customs duty + 13% VAT.
- Shipping by road from India keeps lead times shorter than sea freight from further away.
- Starting with one or two machines in Kathmandu Valley is the usual pilot.
On the ground
- Power
- 230 V, 50 Hz. Load-shedding is rare now, but surge protection is still recommended.
- Altitude and cold
- Ambient machines suit most sites; chilled units need less cooling for much of the year outside the Terai.
- 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
- Hospitals and clinicsVisitors and staff at all hours.
- Colleges and hostelsStudents paying by QR.
- Offices and banksStaff snacks and drinks.
- Airports and bus terminalsTravellers and tourists.
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.
