We consider offices, hostels, residential societies, hospitals, colleges, factories, warehouses and similar shared spaces. Suitability depends on regular users, demand, available facilities and access.
Is there a minimum number of users?

How much space does a machine need?
Space requirements depend on the equipment selected. We confirm dimensions and clearance for purchasing, ventilation and servicing during assessment.

Suitable space, an appropriate electricity connection, reliable internet connectivity, equipment security and access for installation and servicing. Approval from authorised management is also required.
Is installation free?
The commercial arrangement is discussed after assessing the location. All terms and conditions are recorded in the site agreement.

We agree on a schedule once site suitability, approvals, equipment availability and preparations are confirmed.
