Assortment and experience

A traditional machine offers a small, generic range behind glass. A lobby market has open shelves with a broad range — fresh F&B, leading brands, personal care and travel essentials — that the guest can browse and pick up themselves.

Revenue

The difference in experience translates straight to the till. An open lobby market quickly earns up to 10× more than traditional F&B vending. More choice and a nicer experience simply mean more purchases.

Maintenance and service

Vending lives or dies by service. A machine that is empty or broken earns nothing. Selecta manages every lobby market with its own service engineers and data-driven restocking, so the shelves stay full and the technology stays up.

What will you choose?

Vending is a machine. A lobby market is a store — with the revenue, look and guest experience that come with it, and no investment or staffing for your hotel. Work out what the difference means for you.
