A forgotten lip product, a travel skincare need or an evening touch-up can be a useful reason to stop.
Make the offer visible
The large illuminated merchandise window lets people see the packs before they use the screen.
Use staff time well
Self-service can handle straightforward purchases while your team focuses on replenishment and customer support.
Protect the money left over
A higher selling price is useful only if it leaves enough after product cost, payment charges, venue fees and servicing.

What the customer needs to know
Use sealed retail units with unambiguous colour, finish and product names.
Give fragile formats a real trial.
PRODUCT FILE / 04Blush, bronzer, powder and eye palettes are pictured.

Flat packs need their own configuration.
PRODUCT FILE / 06Sheet masks and travel formats give the bottom row a colourful offer in the images.
What must fit
Check support, spacing, sagging, snagging and seal clearance.
What the customer needs to know
State how many items are included.
05 / FROM PACK TO COLLECTIONA good fit protects
A good fit protects
the whole sale.
The visible spirals suggest a lane-based vending arrangement.
- Measure the complete sale pack Use the carton or bundle exactly as sold, including any sleeve, protective insert or tamper seal. Measure the maximum external dimensions, not the cosmetic container alone.
- Match the lane and support Spiral pitch, guide spacing, shelf clearance and product orientation determine whether the pack stays upright and advances consistently.
- Check the entire journey A product has to leave the shelf, travel through the delivery route and reach the customer in acceptable condition. Fitting in a lane is only the first step.
- Record acceptance conditions Keep an approved sample list, lane map and test record with your quotation. It gives replenishment staff a usable standard when they buy new stock.
“Can this pack sell cleanly, arrive intact and be refilled without guesswork?”
That is the practical question to answer before comparing prices on the cabinet. Ask for a sample-based demonstration rather than relying on a generic product category name.
06 / THE CUSTOMER SEQUENCEA short path
A short path
from browse to beauty.
Keep each step obvious.
See a relevant product
The customer notices the cabinet and reads the offer.
Confirm the exact item
The pictured portrait screen shows product images and prices.
Follow the fitted payment flow
An independent terminal appears below the screen.
Receive the sale unit
The right-side opening is the illustrated collection point.
Know where to get help
A visible support contact lets the buyer report a missing item, pack issue or payment query.
07 / THE OPERATIONS DESKRemote insight.
Remote insight.
Practical local action.
Connected management is most useful when each piece of information changes a decision.
See what people actually buy.
CONNECTED OPERATIONS / Sales visibilityA sales view by product, selection and time period can help you decide which products deserve stock.
The operator benefit
Replace a guess such as “the pink packs seem popular” with records of paid units, prices and time periods.
Ask for this demonstration
Ask to see sale timestamps, product/selection identifiers, quantities and the method of exporting records.
Refill around demand, not appearances.
CONNECTED OPERATIONS / Stock visibilityA supported remote stock view can show estimated remaining inventory and help plan replenishment.
The operator benefit
Prepare the right packs before a visit.
Ask for this demonstration
Request a demonstration of refill entry, correction, sold-out behaviour and a configurable low-stock alert if offered.
Keep the information useful
Software counts are only as good as the events and updates behind them.
Keep the screen aligned with the shelf.
CONNECTED OPERATIONS / Catalog controlProduct naming, photos, prices and selection mapping are useful management functions to request.
The operator benefit
A controlled update process makes it easier to introduce an approved seasonal product or correct a price without creating a mismatch between display and checkout.
Ask for this demonstration
Use a spare test listing to show a price/image update.
Keep the information useful
Remote editing does not make a new pack mechanically suitable.
Know what needs attention.
CONNECTED OPERATIONS / Machine statusConnection and fault information, where fitted and included, can help your team decide which issue needs a visit.
The operator benefit
A useful alert names the machine, describes the issue and points to an action your team can take.
Ask for this demonstration
Demonstrate a disconnected machine and an agreed representative error.
Keep the information useful
Online status alone does not confirm that every product is saleable or correctly stored.
Give each role a clear job.
CONNECTED OPERATIONS / Team accessIf the platform supports account roles, use separate permissions for replenishment, pricing, finance and service.
The operator benefit
A replenisher may only need stock tasks, while finance needs settlement records.
Ask for this demonstration
Show account creation, role changes and the available activity history.
Keep the information useful
An activity log, two-factor sign-in or API integration should be treated as included only when shown and agreed.
Compare locations on a fair basis.
CONNECTED OPERATIONS / Multiple locationsIf your project will grow, confirm how the platform organises multiple machines, products and sites.
The operator benefit
Compare contribution after site-specific costs.
Ask for this demonstration
Demonstrate two machines in the account and show how products, prices and stock stay attached to the right site.
Keep the information useful
Start with one location you can manage well.
08 / THE REFILL RITUALFewer loose ends.
Fewer loose ends.
A calmer operating day.
A repeatable visit protects presentation, stock accuracy and customer confidence.
- Before the visit / Build one useful refill list Review available sales, estimated stock and open issues. Prepare quantities by exact product and shade, plus any packaging samples or service items required.
- At the cabinet / Check the customer experience first Look at the approach, screen, payment terminal, display and collection area before loading stock. Identify any visible damage, spills or obstructed access.
- During the refill / Keep the product map accurate Use the approved pack and loading orientation for each lane. Count stock, rotate it under your product plan and record additions and removals separately.
- Before leaving / Leave a known starting point Check display names, prices, availability and the collection path. Complete the agreed purchase check and record unresolved work with an owner.
09 / THE CONTRIBUTION STUDIOWhat does one sale
What does one sale
really leave you?
Try your own planning assumptions.
Example operating numbers
These are editable planning assumptions in the original calculator, shown here as a transparent fixed example for the basic editor. Use one currency and a consistent tax basis.
| Selling price / paid unit | 18.00 |
|---|---|
| Product and inbound cost / unit | 8.00 |
| Payment fee | 2.5% + 0.15 per unit |
| Venue revenue share | 10% |
| Loss and refund reserve / unit | 0.50 |
| Contribution / paid unit | 7.10 |
| Paid units / day · selling days / month | 8 · 30 |
| Monthly revenue | 4,320.00 |
| Monthly fixed operating costs | 450.00 |
| Monthly operating surplus | 1,254.00 |
| Break-even paid units / day | 2.12 (rounded upward) |
| Initial cash investment · simple payback | 9,000.00 · about 7.2 months |
Examples do not establish actual demand or income. Surplus is before tax, finance and depreciation. Simple payback assumes the same surplus continues.
See the calculation
Contribution per unit = price − product/inbound cost − price × payment fee % − fixed payment fee − price × venue share % − reserve per unit. Monthly operating surplus = contribution × paid units per day × operating days − monthly fixed costs.
Break-even units per day = monthly fixed costs ÷ contribution per unit ÷ operating days, when contribution is positive. Simple cash payback = initial cash investment ÷ positive monthly operating surplus. It assumes that surplus continues unchanged; it is not a dated investment forecast.
Use the result with the right boundaries
Keep every value on a consistent tax basis. Recoverable tax, financing, depreciation, working-capital timing and resale value are not modelled. Refunds need consistent treatment: do not count a fully refunded transaction as retained paid revenue and then charge the whole refund again as a reserve.
Fixed fees here are allocated per sold unit. If a transaction can contain several units, use the effective fee per unit from actual payment records. Add subscriptions or minimum merchant charges to monthly fixed costs.
10 / THE DEMAND LENSHow much headroom
How much headroom
does your plan have?
Move the demand slider to compare a softer month with your current profit assumptions.
A 70% demand month
Using the example above, 168 paid units yield an operating surplus of 742.80 after 450.00 fixed costs. That is 511.20 less than the base month. At zero sales, the same fixed costs leave a loss of 450.00.
11 / THE STOCK BALANCEEnough to stay ready.
Enough to stay ready.
Less cash sitting still.
Estimate stock needs for one product using its own sales rate.
One-product stock planning example
At 1.2 paid units per day, seven days until refill and a two-day demand buffer, the target is 11 usable units. With five already available, the suggested addition is six units. At a landed cost of 8.00 per unit, that addition ties up 48.00 in stock.
Target = round up(daily paid units × [days to refill + buffer days]). Addition = max(0, target − usable stock). Check approved lane capacity, storage conditions and remaining shelf life before loading.
12 / THE VENUE PORTFOLIOChoose the moment.
Choose the moment.
Then choose the site.
Open a venue brief to compare the customer need, operating conditions and commercial question.

17 / THE FIRST LOCATIONStart with a pilot
Review contribution assumptions ↗Start with a pilot
you can learn from.
A measured start gives you useful evidence before committing to a broader rollout.
- Set the starting offer Select a manageable mix of approved packs. Record prices, purchase costs, product mapping, usable stock and the planned visit schedule.
- Observe paid demand Review paid units, retained revenue, sold-out periods and customer questions. Reconcile records against stock movements and payment settlements.
- Count the work Record travel, refill time, cleaning, support cases and any service downtime. Include product removals and the cost of keeping usable stock available.
- Change with a reason Keep useful products, reduce slow variants and review the site agreement against actual contribution. Approve any replacement pack before making it live.
- Decide on the next site Use the operating surplus, demand pattern and service workload to decide whether to expand, refine or move. Include the cash needed for more stock and installations.
