Smart fridge rental vs leasing:
who from, and what is included

Renting and leasing mean: no purchase price, but a fridge you run yourself. You can do that with us, directly from the manufacturer. Or through a platform that leases the fridge with a software subscription on top, or through a finance company that pays for the fridge and does nothing else. More on renting itself: rent or lease a smart fridge.

Two ways
not to buy

When you rent, you pay for the use of the fridge and the rental company stays the owner. That suits a shorter period, or a first test to see whether it takes off.

Leasing is a form of finance: the cost of the fridge is spread over a term, usually through a leasing company. What happens at the end is in the contract. That suits the long term without tying up capital. Day to day, the fridge works exactly the same.

What is included with us
  • The smart fridge, built by us
  • Delivery and commissioning on site
  • Instruction for whoever runs it
  • Software and support
  • Term and notice agreed in advance, in plain language
  • Later: switching to buying, by agreement

What renting or leasing costs depends on the option, the term, the configuration and your site: see what a smart fridge costs.

Where the difference lies

Rent from the maker,
not the financier

Versus leasing through a platform

A platform leases you the fridge and adds a software subscription. With us you rent or lease from whoever built the fridge, with commissioning on site.

Versus a finance company

A finance company pays for the fridge and sends an invoice. For faults and commissioning you need other parties. With us it stays one party.

Versus the free vending machine

A free machine costs nothing, but the operator decides what goes in and what it costs, and no fresh meal fits in a spiral. When you rent, you decide.

Frequently asked questions

About renting and leasing

Can I rent a smart fridge from you?

Yes. You pay a fee for the use over an agreed term; the fridge is delivered and commissioned on site, with software and support. You stock it yourself or through a supplier of your choice.

What is the difference between renting and leasing?

When you rent, you pay for the use and the rental company stays the owner. Leasing spreads the cost of the fridge, usually through a leasing company; what happens at the end depends on the contract. Day to day the fridge works the same.

Can I buy the fridge after renting?

That can be agreed. Some companies rent first to see whether it takes off, then buy. The options depend on the contract.

What does renting or leasing cost per month?

That depends on the option, the term, the configuration and your site. So we only give a figure after the site check, which is free and without obligation.
