About the service
The same managed approach, now for age-restricted retail
VendAway is a London-based smart vending and automated retail company. We install, stock and manage fully serviced vending solutions for landlords, venues and property managers.
We now bring the same managed approach to vape and nicotine pouch retail in bars and pubs. You host the cabinet; we handle the products, the payments and the reporting.
How it works
How the Cabinet Works in Your Venue
A staff-served cabinet, not a self-service machine. Your team stays in control of every sale.
1
Installed behind your bar
A lockable, LED-lit cabinet is fitted behind the bar and filled with a curated range of vapes and nicotine pouches.
2
We supply everything
VendAway provides the cabinet, the stock and a Worldpay card machine, and carries out all restocking.
3
Your staff serve
Customers ask your bar staff for a product, who serve it from the cabinet and take payment on the card machine provided.
4
Age checked at the bar
Your staff verify age at the point of sale: strictly 18+, Challenge 25, with ID checked on every sale where there is any doubt.
5
No cash handling
Every sale goes through the Worldpay machine, which runs standalone so it never ties up your till.
%
You earn 25%
You receive 25% of the gross profit on every product sold from the cabinet, paid monthly with a clear statement.
