The opportunity

Convenience should actually be convenient.

Traditional vending has its place, but today's guests, residents and employees expect more choice and easier ways to pay.

LOWAY helps turn underused corners, lounges and common areas into modern self-service refreshment destinations.

  • More variety

    Shelves allow for products that may not work well in traditional spiral vending.

  • Less friction

    Modern checkout makes purchasing fast and intuitive.

  • Available when people need it

    Unattended retail can serve customers beyond the hours of a staffed café, front desk or snack counter.

Solutions

The right solution for the space.

Every location is different. LOWAY recommends the format that best fits your traffic, available space and customer needs.

Best when

  • Greater variety is desired
  • Fresh products are appropriate

  • A grab-and-go experience is preferred

Typical characteristics

  • Open shelf merchandising

  • More retail-like customer experience

LOWAY helps determine which approach makes sense for your location.

Hospitality

Better convenience without another front-desk task.

Guests want easy access to drinks, snacks and quick food options. Front-desk teams already have enough to manage.

A properly designed unattended refreshment area gives guests another amenity while creating a more independent purchasing experience.

  • Guest Convenience

    Refreshments available directly on property.

  • Broader Selection

    Offer more than a traditional beverage-and-chip setup where the equipment allows.

  • Self-Service Experience

    Customers handle the purchase without requiring a staff member to ring up each item.
