We provide tailored, flexible solutions to all your beverage requirements. From snack and hot drinks machines for that busy A & E, to an easy-to-use machine for your staffing areas. Our typical installations enable our clients to enjoy ... • NO capital outlay • Future proofing for 5 years • Up to 20% savings on operational costs
Don’t just take our word for it... The Whittington Hospital has selected Refreshment Systems to provide a complete beverage solution for wards, restaurant and public areas. The Whittington Hospital is a general teaching hospital situated in Archway, in the North of Islington and Refreshment Systems provide them with their vending machines, drinks machines and ward solutions. Refreshment Systems worked with The Whittington Hospital in order to make sure their needs were catered for. We didn’t just offer an ‘off the shelf’ package, but tailored everything to their requirements. Paul Hepworth, Catering Manager for The Whittington Hospital said: “We selected Refreshment Systems because they were able to provide the complete beverage solution that we required. Staff and visitors to the Whittington Hospital have commented on how good the coffees are from the vending machines, and how they are more modern compared to the old fashioned type beverage vending systems. Due to the current economic situation, the NHS has to become more cost effective yet still maintaining a high standard of service. We found Refreshment Systems were able to maximise our budget, whilst providing quality drinks across Hospital Departments, Wards and Restaurant areas.”

Café Amore is our own brand designed to compete with the high street. Café Amore incorporates fully branded machines, ingredients and point of sale, meaning that our customers no longer have to turn to the expensive high street brands to offer the highest quality coffee.
Visitors Offering a range of drinks is important to people visiting your hospital, whether it’s business or personal reasons. Capable of producing high quality speciality drinks cappuccinos, lattes, chocolates and even teas all at the touch of a button, these are all easy to maintain options. A small table-top or capsule machine combines high quality drinks with a small footprint so they can be placed anywhere. We also provide plumbed-in water coolers, which provide instantly filtered and chilled water direct from the mains water supply. This eliminates the need to store and handle heavy water bottles.
Staff Whether it is providing drinks for the public, or for staff, vending machines from Refreshment Systems are reliable and designed to provide high volumes throughout the day. Our machines provide a wide variety of drinks and snacks from easily recognisable brands. They can be fully branded in your hospital’s livery and colours and they look great in any environment.
