Sell coffee beans while your cafe is closed

Your regulars run out of beans at 7 pm on a Sunday. Your cafe shut at 2. A Dispensed machine sells them a 250 g bag anyway.

How it works

Order a machine sized to a 250 g bag of beans, from $250 AUD + GST
Put it where customers can reach it after hours, such as a covered entrance or a shared building foyer, within range of your WiFi
Load it with bags and print the QR code
A customer scans the code, pays on their phone through Square, and the machine drops a bag within a few seconds

You don't need staff on site, a card reader or a screen.

Build a customer list. Each sale records the buyer's email when they give one at checkout, so you can sell beans to them online later, with their consent
One product, one machine. A machine sells a single product. Group two or three machines into a store to offer a house blend, a single origin and decaf
Beans don't need a fridge. Roasted beans in sealed bags keep at room temperature, so you can skip the refrigeration add-on
Sized to your bag. Set each side from 20 to 50 cm, so the machine fits your bag instead of a fixed vending cabinet

Dispensed charges 5% (excl. GST) per sale. On a $22 bag that's $1.10 + GST. There's no monthly card reader fee.

Restock without an admin login. Staff open the store's dedicated restock link and update the stock count after their shift
Know when you're low. The admin app shows stock and whether each machine is online. You get an email when a machine is out of stock or offline
Change the roast. Edit the product name, price and photo when you switch beans. Customers see the change straight away
