Use Scenarios in Switzerland

Office Catering in Switzerland

A company in Switzerland sets up a vyndo combo machine (snacks and drinks) in the break room. The 120 staff use it every day. Via the telemetry app, the operator sees in real time which products are empty. The result: less idle time, a happy workforce and around 50% margin on the products sold.

Hotel Lobby in Switzerland

A hotel in Switzerland replaces the classic minibar with a central vending machine in the lobby. Guests buy snacks, drinks and hygiene items around the clock. The hotel saves personnel costs on the night shift and uses the integrated digital signage screen for its own promotions and local ad partners.

Retail in Switzerland

A retailer in Switzerland extends their opening hours with an outdoor machine in front of the shop. After closing, customers keep buying bestsellers, contactless by card or smartphone. Thanks to high passer-by traffic, the machine pays for itself in under 9 months.

We deliver by freight forwarder directly to Switzerland. Delivery from the EU, customs handling by vyndo, CHF payment modules available. Devices from our warehouse are ready to ship at short notice. Our machines support CHF payment modules and can be configured for the Swiss market.

In the quality-conscious Swiss market, the premium line pays off, matching the standards in Zurich, Basel or Bern. What is decisive is the configuration for the local market: CHF coin changers, compatible cashless terminals and on request TWINT via QR code, plus Swiss mains plugs of type J. We advise you on the right setup for your location. All prices are exclusive of VAT.

Do I need a permit to set up a machine in Switzerland?

In Switzerland this is regulated at municipal level: on private ground the property owner's consent is enough, and for public ground the respective municipality grants the permit, with requirements differing from canton to canton. So plan the clarification with the local municipality firmly before you order. For food, Swiss food law applies with a documented cold chain; the temperature log is produced automatically by telemetry. We supply the necessary device data for your application.

What financing options are there for operators in Switzerland?

The choices are purchase from around 2,000 euros for a hot-drinks machine, rental from a one-day term or leasing from 99 euros a month. The leasing payments are tax-deductible as operating expenses. In the Swiss market with its high purchasing power, the payment carries itself especially fast, because higher sale prices can be achieved at the machine than in many EU markets. For a permanently occupied premium location, buying is often the most economical choice; for getting started or a test, flexible rental. We deliver from the EU including customs handling. All prices are exclusive of VAT, and we calculate the right option concretely for you.

How high is the average margin on vending machines?

Depending on product category, the gross margin is around 50 percent after goods, and for coffee and snacks even higher. In Switzerland a location advantage is added: the high purchasing power allows higher sale prices at the machine than in many EU markets, which raises the margin per sale. A good location pays for itself in about 6 to 12 months. The integrated screen can form a second income stream through advertising, on top of the goods margin. Revenue and margin depend on location, traffic and range, and we are glad to calculate that concretely for your project. All prices are exclusive of VAT.

Does vyndo offer service and maintenance in Switzerland?

Yes. With rental contracts, maintenance is usually included; for buyers we offer maintenance contracts. Across the border, what counts above all is remote diagnosis: telemetry reports faults like a coin jam or temperature deviation in real time, and many cases we solve remotely with no on-site visit. That keeps your machine reliably available in Switzerland too. The predictive refill function shows you when refilling is due, so trips to the location only happen when needed. We supply spare parts from the EU including customs handling.

Which payment methods do the machines support?

All the common ones: cash, card and contactless via Apple Pay and Google Pay. For the Swiss market we equip, on request, CHF coin changers and compatible cashless terminals, and TWINT can often be integrated via QR code. Contactless payment by NFC is standard. On request we integrate RFID cards, such as staff badges. Which combination makes sense depends on your location; we configure the payment systems to fit your range. All prices are exclusive of VAT.
