Article Abstract:
Cashless vending machines are proving an attractive alternative to coin-operated machines. Smart cards can increase sales by 40% and throughput by 400%. Setting-up costs are recovered through savings on labour and downtime. GiroVend and Mars Electronic are market leaders in sophisticated systems. Digicard and Ventex specialise in simpler less expensive systems. Pre-paid cards also have non-vending applications suitable for the leisure industry.

Article Abstract:
Inflatable bouncers provide high return for small capital investment. Size and design vary from small toddler to large themed bouncers and cost between 1,000 and 6,000 pounds sterling. Manufacturers may offer a repair or annual maintenance service. Usage and wear and tear will determine durability. Indoor static bouncers will last longer than continually transported inflatables.
