The History of Vending Machines

Vending machines have been around since the 1st century A.D. when Hero of Alexandria invented a coin-operated device to dispense holy water. In the 19th century, vending machines were used to sell postcards and cigarettes. During the 20th century, vending machines were used to sell a wide variety of items, such as snacks and drinks.

The modern vending machine has evolved over the years, with the introduction of advanced technology such as touch screens, credit card readers, and even facial recognition. Today, they can be found in a variety of locations, from airports and train stations to schools and hospitals.

Vending Machines in Schools

Vending machines in schools have become increasingly popular in recent years. Family Vending machines offer students a convenient way to purchase snacks and beverages in between classes and during lunch breaks. However, there are a few key considerations that schools must take into account when deciding whether to install vending machines. The most important factor is the types of items that the vending machines will offer. Schools must ensure that the products offered are healthy, affordable, and appropriate for the age of the students.
