About the Opportunity
Vend Brands is bringing a new generation of interactive robotic vending to Australia and New Zealand.
Through our exclusive Sweet Robo licence, we are rolling out a limited number of Candy Monster and Balloon Bot machines into high-foot-traffic retail, family entertainment and leisure locations.
We are now looking to partner with a select group of operators who want to build their own automated retail portfolio using a model that removes many of the traditional barriers to entering vending.
Rather than buying a machine and then trying to find somewhere to put it, our model combines:
* Distinctive, high-engagement robotic vending machines
* Premium location sourcing and lease support
* Delivery, installation and setup
* Cashless payments and remote monitoring
* Initial training and operating support
* Ongoing technical assistance
* The ability to scale into multiple locations over time

Candy Monster
A robotic candy experience where customers create their own personalised candy mix while watching the machine prepare it live.

* Remote sales and machine monitoring
