A simple daily check for your venue’s vending area
Why a quick daily look helps
A few minutes at the start and end of each day keeps a vending area running smoothly. Machines are simple to operate, but small things can still go quietly wrong. A coin that sits in the slot, a unit that looks low from across the room, or a kids ride with something loose on the floor are all easier to catch during a quick check than when someone tells you later.
A short morning check
- Give each machine a press to confirm it responds and accepts coins correctly.
- Check the display window is clear and the unit looks well stocked from eye level.
- Look behind and underneath for spillages, packaging or anything a child could reach.
- Test that any kids ride powers on and behaves normally.
- Make sure the area is clean, dry and free of trip hazards.
A short closing check
- Wipe down the fronts of the machines and the surrounding area.
- Check the windows for stale items that may need rotating.
- Make sure nothing is left resting against machines or blocking access overnight.
- Note anything unusual so a fuller service can pick it up.
