A campus amenity that respects your food policy
Canteen queues peak for twenty minutes and then the option disappears for the rest of the day. A managed Ameni amenity, often a Classic machine with a controlled selection, extends access across campus hours with a range agreed against your nutrition policy.

What you get
Fully funded, fully managed, end to end.
Range you sign off
We agree the product list against your nutrition or wellbeing policy and exclude anything you rule out. Nothing changes without your approval.
Takes pressure off the canteen
Cold drinks and grab-and-go items shift to the fridge, shortening the counter queue at peak and covering the hours after it closes.
No cash on campus
Contactless only, authorised before the door opens, so there's no float and no cash box to secure.
Nothing for staff to manage
Restocking, cleaning, expiry rotation and repairs are ours. No teacher or facilities coordinator inherits it.

Often Ameni Classic
Schools frequently suit classic vending: a controlled selection, a robust format and a familiar experience for students. Smart coolers are available where a supervised indoor location suits the open-door format.
We can't have junk food available
That's a range decision, and it's yours. Plenty of sites run a water, dairy, fresh-food and low-sugar list only. We stock what you approve and nothing else.
Questions
Schools & campuses, answered
Can we restrict the product range?
Yes. The list is agreed with you before install and can be adjusted at any time.
Is it appropriate for students?
Payment is by contactless card or phone, so access follows whatever payment means your students already carry. Placement is agreed with you — commonly staff areas or supervised common rooms.
What about holiday periods?
We adjust stock levels and service frequency around your term calendar to avoid waste.
Who is liable for the equipment?
Ameni owns, insures and maintains the unit. The site provides space and power.
