Refreshed To Learn
Allerton Grange Sixth Form is based in a bespoke building in the Sixth Form centre which provides a range of classrooms, workspaces and computer suites and also social spaces. This gives students increased independence to manage their studies and their socialising, including time for refreshments.
The Objectives
Having a range of refreshments available throughout the day was seen as an important aspect of the Sixth Form Centre. This would encourage students to spend time together, building a community in the centre, rather than leaving the space to seek alternative refreshments off-site.
THE SOLUTION – Low-Sugar DRINKS & Snacks Vending
The Centre had room for a range of different vending machines to offer drinks and snacks in a way that could be provided throughout the day, with no outlay from the school for staff resource. As such the Caterer contacted Livewell to review the site and provide a recommendation for them to present to their client.
THE OUTCome
Two types of vending machines were installed at the Sixth Form centre including, a low-sugar soft drink vending machine and another providing a range of snacks. A contactless payment unit was installed to enable payments using ApplePay and all the other payment types that are commonplace in retail today. The drinks and snacks have all been popular and the students see the provision as a benefit for them exclusively.
The Benefits
- • Students stay on-site
- • Appealing branded styling
- • Low and no sugar drinks
- • Self-serve provision
- • Simple selection with touch screen interface
- • Cashless payments
- • Remote data collection to optimise stock control
