Payment Systems for Coffee Machines

Wherever your hot drinks machines are located, customers will love the option of paying with their contactless cards or smartphone wallet. Travellers at motorway services and train stations will appreciate the chance to pay for their drink with a quick tap, without delaying their journey. In the supermarket or convenience store, busy shoppers can grab a caffeine boost on the go. Many people shop at the same supermarket each week, so this is also an opportunity for loyalty cards and app-based customer schemes. 

Finally, a coffee machine in the staff room could benefit from a closed-loop card payment system, powered by digital technology. Employees could top up their cards online with web payments, or enjoy a limited or unlimited number of free drinks courtesy of their company. CCV can help you implement this system, or integrate closed with open infrastructure for ultimate flexibility.

Working within the limits of the coffee machine in particular, CCV payments solutions can make a diverse range of cashless payment methods available. No longer will drinks vends be restricted by customers having enough change in their pocket. Cashless payment methods your hot drinks machines could accept include: bank cards (credit or debit, chip-and-pin or contactless cards), digital wallets and other smartphone payment apps, NFC-enabled wearable devices, and closed-loop cards.

At CCV our team will help you select the right payment methods for your coffee machines, bearing in mind your locations, users, and business model. Please contact us for more details.

Cashless self-service coffee machines present an advantage to customer and operator alike. An automated vending machine is already a convenient choice for a hot drink – avoiding the queue at the counter – but cashless payment take this convenience to the next level. The customer can quickly choose their favourite card or mobile payment, take their drink, and go. A fast turnaround at the machine for greater customer satisfaction and a higher number of vends at peak times.

For you, the coffee machine operator, cashless payments mean no more worrying about cash management: all your proceeds will be delivered to you electronically. Smart, connected coffee machines also have the potential to report when they are in need of fresh supplies or maintenance, ensuring any unprofitable down-time is kept at a minimum.

As an operator of hot drinks machines, your aim is to offer quick, convenient refreshment to customers just when they are in need of it. Achieving your business goal is dependent on reliable, up-to-date payment systems in your machines – and these are just what CCV can provide. We are committed to supplying and maintaining exceptional payment solutions that will help your business thrive.

With CCV, you can give your customers the option to choose their favoured digital payment method whenever they purchase a drink, enhancing their customer experience.

Smart payment solutions also have the potential to boost your profits. Encourage return visits to the coffee machine with a loyalty card or app scheme. Allow customers to earn points that add up to a free drink or enjoy exclusive offers and discounts.
