Keep basic access and optional purchases clear

Discuss your workplace’s drinking-water arrangements separately from optional vending beverages. A drink machine provides individual purchases; it should not be described as a replacement for the facility’s basic water arrangements. Ask employees which optional drinks they prefer and review the available products with the provider.

Review equipment and service needs

Warehouse placement needs careful attention to power, ventilation, nearby heat sources, and access. Ask whether the proposed equipment is suitable for the location and how capacity compares with demand between service visits. Bottleless water programs have their own installation, filter, cleaning, and billing requirements. Confirm these details before delivery.

Prepare for an assessment

Bring your site address, daily attendance, shift schedule, available space, and delivery restrictions. Confirm product pricing, support contacts, stocking, and responsibilities before approving installation. Revisit the plan after the first month to identify products that sell out, items that remain untouched, and any access or payment issues.
