Looking for vending machines in Florence? Project Vending, based in Ponte di Piave (Treviso, Italy), designs and manufactures professional vending machines installed across Tuscany, Italy, Europe and beyond. With 40+ years of activity and over 100,000 machines produced, we serve vending operators, hotels, gyms, businesses and entrepreneurs starting a new vending business in Florence.
In Tuscany, Italy, technical service is a real competitive factor. A mechanical fault not resolved within 24-48 hours means tens of lost sales; for direct installations in the Florence area we guarantee rapid on-call intervention and warehouse-available spare parts for all active lines.
In many municipalities in Tuscany, Italy, installing vending machines in public or shared spaces requires a specific permit. Our technical office provides ready-to-file datasheets and declarations of conformity.
The economic fabric of Florence is largely made up of micro-businesses, evening-hour retail and small-to-medium hospitality: contexts in which a well-placed vending machine covers time slots where staffing is not economically sustainable.
The average ticket recorded on machines around Florence sits between $1.30 and $3.10, peaking above $3.80 in hotels and premium gyms. A product mix built well around this band delivers real 40-55% margins after COGS and energy.
Why a vending machine for Florence
More and more people choose vending as a primary business or as a complementary income stream. With a professional machine, a strategic location and the right product, payback can be fast. But the machine matters: an unreliable unit loses customers and money.
- Low initial investment (machines from $890)
- Strategic locations: laundries, gyms, residences, businesses
- Product mix tailored to expected footfall
- Industrial reliability: spares and support for years
- Free pre-purchase consultation to optimise configuration
Recommended models
Among our lines, these are the most suitable for this context. Every project still requires a dedicated configuration: contact us before placing an order, we will help you choose the most suitable machine.
Installation, support and spare parts
Our machines are designed to last: robust mechanics, modular electronics, spare parts available for years. In Italy we handle installation and major interventions directly; abroad we work with trained partner operators. The practical result: the machine works, it doesn't jam, and you don't lose customers.

Return on investment (ROI)
For a machine deployed for Florence, based on comparable installation data, expected net monthly revenue sits between $358 and $672, with typical payback between 14 and 26 months. Key factors: location (actual footfall), product mix (33-48% average margin), reliability (every jam is a lost sale) and restocking policy (telemetry avoids unnecessary trips).
- Initial investment: from $890 for the machine + initial product loading.
- Recurring costs: products (COGS 52-67%), energy (~$22/month), optional connectivity.
- Expected volumes: 120-360 transactions/month in a well-picked Florence location.
