For host sites
We place new machines at sites with steady foot traffic: airports, offices, malls, campuses, hospitals and factories. We install, stock and service them. There's no cost for the machine, installation, stocking or service. Your site provides the floor space, a standard outlet and access for our visits.
Placement
We look at the space, the foot traffic and the power supply, and suggest machines that fit.
We set out the arrangement in a short written agreement, including what your site receives.
We deliver and install the machines and set up the card readers.
We restock, clean and service the machines, and handle refunds for customers.
Arrangements
Most sites choose the first. The other two suit sites that want to own part or all of the machine.
We buy, install and run the machine. There's no cost for the machine, installation, stocking or service. Your site provides the floor space, a standard outlet and access for our visits. Your site receives a share of net sales, agreed per site.
Your site owns the machine and keeps its sales. We service it for a fixed monthly fee, with supplies invoiced monthly, showing what each one cost.
Your site pays part of the setup cost and receives that same share of the net proceeds. We run the machine either way.
Our work
A regional international airport
We have proposed a TapCup coffee machine for the main terminal of a regional international airport. Our proposal and draft agreement are with the airport's management.
ArcVane owns and runs the machine. The airport provides the space and the power, and pays nothing.
A major manufacturing facility
We are planning TapPop, TapSnack and TapTreats machines for a major manufacturing facility, referred to us by an established Canadian distributor.
ArcVane owns and runs the machines. The facility provides the space and the power, and pays nothing.
Questions
Term, notice and exclusivity are set out in each site's written agreement. We agree them with you before the machine is installed.
How removal works, and the notice needed, is set out in each site's written agreement.
Exclusivity is set per site. Term, notice and exclusivity are set out in each site's written agreement.
We visit on a regular schedule to restock, clean and service the machine. How often depends on the machine and how fast it sells. Coffee machines, for example, need cleaning at least twice a week, even when quiet.
When ArcVane owns and operates the machine, your share is smaller, but there's still no cost for the machine, installation, stocking or service. If your site buys the machine or shares the setup, low sales mean a longer payback, so check the numbers first. Estimate your earnings
For machines we run, we do. Customers scan the QR card on the machine or use the help form on our site, and we refund them or fix the problem, usually within one business day. Card refunds go back to the card used to pay. Machine help or refund
Floor space about the size of a large fridge, a standard power outlet nearby, and access for our service visits. Some machines need more, such as a dedicated circuit for a floor-standing coffee machine. We check the space and the power supply when we visit.
