Cypress Vending's Touchless Mask Station is now available in the U.S. and Canada and marks a pivot for the company's founders to meet new public safety needs during COVID-19.
Cypress Vending has just released a new type of vending machine, The Touchless Mask Station, available in both the U.S. and Canada. It is North America's first and only TOUCHLESS mask machine.
The Touchless Mask Station is a one-of-kind proactive solution, designed to keep the public safe during the current pandemic, flu season and beyond. The masks dispense from the bottom and can be retrieved without ever touching the machine.
Cypress Vending co-founders Brad Simon and Travis Grubb quickly pivoted to meet the new public safety needs COVID-19 brought on.
"We specialize in healthy drink & snack machines and when the pandemic hit, machine sales practically came to a halt. We then started to receive calls from our clients requesting PPE," said Brad Simon, Co-Founder of Cypress Vending. "We knew we simply had to pivot and make adjustments that make sense for now and for the long run. We have all been instructed not to touch anything, including vending machines, so that is where our touchless technology comes into play."
"Masks are very light and do not dispense well in a traditional machine," explains Travis Grubb, Co-Founder of Cypress Vending. "With the Touchless Mask Station, We have a touchless solution that dispenses one mask at a time. It is very convenient for anyone on the go who has forgotten their mask at home, or for the employee that is clocking in to work, for example.
"Whether you run a healthcare facility, restaurant, hair salon, shopping mall, school, corporate office, hotel and more, this station restores employee and customer confidence and it is portable and easy to install. It is a simple hygiene solution, and the safest way to sell or give away a mask.
Machine branding is customizable and there are two ways to dispense:
-tap to pay (machine owner can set the price and monitor sales in real-time on the cloud)
-stand in front of the machine for a free mask
The machine comes with a roll of 200 disposable, three-layer, non-medical masks, and rolls can then be reordered directly from Cypress Vending.
Headquartered in Vancouver, BC, Canada, Cypress Vending has over 20 + years of experience in design and operation of vending machines. For more information please visit touchlessmaskstation.com.
