01. Begin with real demand
Distinguish building capacity from actual occupancy. Include quieter periods, closures, buying patterns and nearby alternatives. Footfall alone does not determine suitability.
02. Look at the route, not just the floor plan
Choose a place people naturally pass and can pause comfortably. Check accessible approach, door swing, ventilation and circulation. A machine can fit on a plan but still be awkward in daily use.
03. Make servicing practical
Trace the route from loading point to final position. Check lifts, thresholds, security and permitted visit hours. Replenishment should not block your busiest route.
04. Put technical details in writing
Request configuration-specific dimensions, clearances, power and connectivity. Food and coffee may add water, drainage or temperature considerations.
05. Agree responsibilities
Record utilities, fault reporting, support, service access and commercial terms. Confirm removal arrangements and a realistic launch plan.
Planning guidance, not a technical specification or promise of availability. Your proposal confirms the details.
