What you get
Fully funded, fully managed, end to end.
No capital, no contract headaches
We fund the fridge, delivery, installation and commissioning — roughly $15k of equipment — and keep owning it. You provide a power point and a spot on the floor.
Nothing for your team to run
Restocking, cleaning, rotation, expiry checks, refunds and repairs are ours. No coin floats, no stock counts, no supplier calls.
A checkout people actually like
On Ameni Smart, tap a card or phone, the door unlocks, take any mix of items and close it. On Ameni Classic, select and pay contactlessly. No app or account either way.
Local Sydney servicing
Our own team services every site across Greater Sydney on a set frequency, with 24/7 remote monitoring flagging faults before anyone reports them.

Best suited to
- Commercial office buildings and business parks
- Warehouses, logistics hubs and manufacturing sites
- Gyms, hotels, clubs and student accommodation
- Any Greater Sydney site with steady daily foot traffic
Smart or Classic, whichever suits the site
We operate both formats. AI smart coolers give the widest range and an open-door experience, classic spiral and beverage machines give a robust, familiar select-and-dispense format. We recommend one after a short walk-through.
Why is it free?
We make our margin on what people buy, so a busy site is worth more to us than an installation fee. That is why the site check asks about foot traffic — if the volume works, the amenity costs your property nothing.
Questions
Vending machines Sydney, answered
Do vending machines in Sydney really cost nothing to host?
For qualifying sites, yes. Ameni funds the equipment, install, stock and servicing. The site supplies floor space and a standard power outlet.
Which Sydney areas do you cover?
Greater Sydney, from the CBD and inner suburbs out through Parramatta, Western Sydney, the North Shore, Northern Beaches, the Inner West and Sutherland Shire.
How is an Ameni Smart cooler different from an Ameni Classic machine?
Ameni Smart is an open-shelf format: payment is authorised, the door unlocks and cameras plus weight sensing work out what was taken, so any mix of items goes in one transaction. Ameni Classic is the familiar select-and-dispense format, compact and hard-wearing. Both are ours and both are fully serviced.
How long does installation take?
Typically two to three weeks from the first walk-through. On the day, delivery and commissioning takes a few hours.
