Here’s the answer up front: a vending machine is the right call for most Sydney workplaces. A micro-market only makes sense when you have several hundred people on site, spare floor space, and genuine demand for fresh food.

At Simple Vending Solution, we’ve placed machines across Sydney workplaces — offices, gyms, warehouses, schools.
