A UK luxury hotel chain deployed 6 of our commercial protein shake machine units across its on-site gyms and spas. This self-service wellness equipment fits historic upscale venues, delivering extra guest nutrition revenue with minimal labour input.

Fitness Drink Vending Business Project Challenges

Operating in the UK hospitality environment presented several practical challenges:

  • Limited space due to older building layouts and narrow service access.
  • High humidity levels in gym changing rooms and spa areas.  
  • Strict requirements for low-noise equipment in wellness zones. 
  • Rising labour costs, making staffed beverage preparation inefficient.

The client required a solution that combined reliability, quiet operation, and refined design without disrupting the existing guest experience.

Tailored Commercial Protein Shake Machine Solution

To meet these needs, we delivered a customised version of our commercial protein shake machine, specifically adapted for UK conditions:

  • Modular build for easy transport and assembly in tight spaces.
  • Moisture-proof inner parts for steady operation in humid zones.
  • Low-Decibel quiet cooling fit for spas and wellness facilities.
  • Custom outer finish to match luxury hotel decor.
  • Contactless Apple/Google Pay for smooth guest checkout.

Business Value of Installing Commercial Protein Shake Machines

  • Over 6,000 cups sold across 6 machines.
  • Average daily sales of 10–12 cups per unit.
  • 0.4 sqm footprint, higher per-foot revenue than hotel amenities.
  • £6.50 shakes vs £11–£14 fresh blends, strong profit margins.
  • 99.2% contactless success, unlock missed guest purchases.
  • Modular units install within 30 days for multi-site hotel chains.

We were initially cautious about installing a self-service beverage solution in a hotel spa environment, particularly given the humidity and limited access space. The team delivered machines that integrated seamlessly with the interior design of the property. Since installation, the units have performed reliably with very little maintenance required.” — Group Engineering Director, UK Hotel Group

By introducing commercial protein shake machines, the hotel group successfully enhanced its wellness offering. These well-designed protein shake vending machines create additional revenue streams in space-limited, high-end environments.
