Vending machines, looked after by a local family.

We're a family-run vending service based in southern Tasmania. No lock-in contracts, no dispatch centres on the mainland — just reliable machines, remotely monitored, personally restocked by the same people every time.

Why host a machine?

A small thing that makes your space work better.

You're not buying a machine — we supply and run it. Here's what you actually get out of having one on your site.

Keep your people on-site

A quick snack or drink without leaving the building means your staff, tradies or patients don't disappear for twenty minutes to the shops. Real difference across a day.

Always on, after hours

Gym members after nine, night-shift workers, weekend-only sites — the machine looks after your people when you don't need to be there.

Zero cost, zero hassle

We supply the machine, install it, stock it, monitor it, and keep it running. Your staff don't touch it. Your books don't feel it. It just works.

A small kindness people notice

Customers waiting, staff on break, kids after footy — it's a tiny touch that makes your space feel looked-after. People remember it.

What makes us different

Real local service, not a franchise.

There are a lot of vending operators in Australia who look local online but are dispatched from Melbourne or Sydney. We're not. We live here. Our machines are serviced by us, from our own vehicles, on a schedule we personally manage.

No lock-in contracts

You're not stuck with us. Our work should stand on its own — if it doesn't, we don't deserve the spot.

Remotely monitored

Our machines tell us what's selling and what's running low. We show up before you'd ever notice a problem.

Regularly restocked

Reliable refill schedule tuned to how your site actually uses the machine. Popular items stay in stock.

A small family business

You'll know us by name. If something's wrong, one call reaches the people who can actually fix it.

Simple from day one

How it works.

No jargon, no up-front cost, no pressure. If your site is a good fit, the machine pays its own way.

Get in touch

Tell us about your site — location, foot traffic, what kind of machine would suit. Takes two minutes.

Free site assessment

We come out and look at the space. No cost, no obligation. We'll be honest if it's not a great fit.

We install

We bring the machine, place it, connect power, load the first round of stock. You don't lift a thing.

We keep it stocked

Remote monitoring tells us what's selling. We refill regularly, swap out what's not moving, adjust over time.

If people pass through, they'll use it.

Where we operate

Based in southern Tasmania — open to enquiries.

Our home ground is greater Hobart. If your site's further afield, just ask — we'd rather be honest up front than take on a site we can't look after properly.

About us

A small family business, based right here.

We started Southern Vending Solutions because we saw a gap — too many vending companies serving Tasmania were actually based on the mainland, with local service that felt anything but. We wanted to do it properly: real people you can reach, machines we personally look after, honest answers when something's not working.

Our kids help us on refill days. You'll probably see the van around Margate and Kingston, and if you flag us down to say hello, you'll get one back.

"We wanted a business we'd be proud to put our name on — and proud for our kids to be part of."

Questions we hear a lot

Frequently asked.

Is there a cost to host a machine at my site?

No. We supply and install the machine at no cost to you. We make our money when people use it — if it's not being used, it's not costing you anything either.

How do you know when to restock?

Our machines are remotely monitored in real time — we can see stock levels and sales trends from wherever we are. Our team comes through on a regular schedule tuned to how your site actually uses the machine, refills what's moving, swaps out what isn't, and handles the whole thing without you having to send us a message. Set and forget, genuinely.

How much space does a machine need?

Roughly the footprint of a fridge, give or take. We'll confirm exact dimensions during the free site assessment and work with the space you have.

What about power?

A standard power point is all we need. Machines are energy efficient and stay on 24/7 so stock is always cold/fresh.

Can I choose what's in the machine?

Absolutely — we'll tailor the product mix to suit your site. Snacks, drinks, combo, healthier options. If something's not moving, we swap it. If people ask for something specific, we source it.

What happens if the machine breaks down?

Call us. We'll get someone out to fix it ASAP. Because we service the machines ourselves, there's no third-party tech in Melbourne we're waiting on.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No lock-in contracts. Our arrangement is simple — if we're not serving your site well, we'll take the machine back. We'd rather earn our spot every month than hold anyone to paperwork.

Do you take cash or card?

Our machines are cashless — contactless cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and mobile payments all work. That's how most people prefer to pay now, and it means no fumbling for coins.

Are you actually based in Tasmania?

Yes — we live here, in southern Tasmania. You can meet us, drop into one of the sites we service, or just give us a call and hear a local voice. You might even see us (and the kids) restocking the machines on a Saturday morning.
