Smart Fridge experience at a padel club

An owner of Smash sports club in Neeroeteren reports around 300 transactions and nearly 25% higher revenue in the first two weeks with Smart Fridges from Mirkoz Vending. The figures come from his video interview and describe this club’s initial experience.

How did Smash react to the new technology?

According to the owner, Smash has five tennis courts and three padel courts. The club previously operated an honesty bar and wanted to retain self-service.

During the first discussion with Mirkoz Vending, the AI system was new to the owners. The owner interviewed says they initially felt somewhat uneasy about it. Their main question was how it would work in practice.

How many transactions did Smash record?

According to the owner, around 300 transactions were recorded in the first two weeks. This provides a concrete picture of Smart Fridge use at this sports location.

These are transactions, rather than 300 unique customers or 300 products sold. A single purchase can include several drinks.

What does the owner say about revenue and ease of use?

The owner mentions a revenue increase of nearly 25% and says everyone finds the system easy to use. For him, the initial hesitation became a positive first experience.

The reported revenue increase is the owner’s observation at Smash. The interview does not specify the comparison period or calculation. These figures are therefore not a general revenue promise for other sports clubs.

What can you track at your own location?

When changing systems, you can compare transaction numbers, revenue and visitor feedback with your previous way of operating. Define the measurement period and product range so you can assess the results properly.

Smash’s experience provides a practical example of self-service at a sports club. For your location, the choice starts with the users, products and organisation of day-to-day management.
