Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about products, installation, operation, the commercial model and venue suitability.

Commercial

Is there an upfront cost?

For suitable venues, deployment can proceed without upfront machine purchase costs.

How are commercial terms set?

Terms are structured after site review and aligned with traffic, access conditions and operating fit.

Do you guarantee revenue?

No. Commercial outcomes depend on site characteristics and customer behaviour. We only proceed where viability is clear.

Operations

Who cleans, services and restocks the machine?

Fuel Core Systems manages regular replenishment, servicing and operational checks under the agreed venue arrangement, minimising day-to-day involvement for venue staff.

Does venue staff need to operate the machine?

No routine operation by venue staff is required. Customers use the touchscreen and cashless payment system directly, while Fuel Core Systems manages ongoing servicing and replenishment. Venue staff mainly provide normal site access under the agreed conditions.

Can the machine operate 24/7?

The vending system can operate around the clock where venue access and operating conditions allow. Actual customer access depends on the opening hours and policies of the host venue.

Installation

What is required to install?

Suitable floor space, electrical power, servicing access and any necessary placement approvals. Water configuration is confirmed during the site review.

How long does rollout take?

Timing depends on approval and site readiness. Qualified venues receive a structured rollout plan during proposal.

Does the machine require a direct water connection?

A direct water connection is the preferred installation where available, but the machine can also operate using an internal bottled-water supply. Final configuration depends on the site and installation requirements.

What utilities does the machine require?

The machine requires access to suitable electrical power. Water configuration and other installation requirements are assessed during the site review.

How much space is required?

Space requirements depend on the machine configuration and servicing access. Fuel Core Systems reviews the proposed location before installation to confirm suitable floor space, access and customer flow.

Venue Suitability

What venues are the best fit?

Gyms, offices, shopping centres and other high-traffic commercial sites with strong customer flow.

Do all venues qualify?

No. We only progress with venues that meet operational and commercial criteria.

Products

What does a Fuel Core Systems protein vending machine dispense?

Fuel Core Systems machines prepare freshly mixed protein shakes on demand. Customers select an available option on the touchscreen, complete a cashless payment and the machine automatically prepares and dispenses the shake.

Are the shakes prepared fresh?

Yes. Protein shakes are mixed on demand rather than being stored as pre-mixed drinks. Product configuration and available flavours may vary by venue.

How quickly is a shake prepared?

The system is designed to prepare protein shakes in seconds, providing a fast option for customers in gyms and other high-traffic commercial environments.

Can offering vary by venue?

Yes. Product configuration and available flavours may be adjusted to the venue profile and demand pattern.
