How to connect a vending machine to delivery
With VADO you connect your vending machine to delivery apps (Glovo, Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Wolt, Just Eat, Foodora) through software, without installing new hardware. When an order comes in, the machine automatically reserves the product remotely; the rider shows up on site, enters the code received and collects the dispensed product.
How it works, step by step
- You connect your machine's catalogue to VADO.
- VADO publishes the products on the delivery apps.
- On an order, the machine remotely locks and reserves the product.
- The rider arrives, enters the code and the machine dispenses.

Vending operators who want to open a 24/7 sales channel without the costs and overhead of a physical store, leveraging the asset they already have on the street.
