How It Works

Using the automated floral vending machine was designed to be easy!

The flower vending machine was painstakingly designed to allow busy shoppers a quick, simple, and convenient way to purchase beautiful, fresh flowers. All of the bouquets are situated in individual compartments on an inner carousel, which rotates to enable customers a clear view of exactly what they're buying. Specially-crafted water circulation and refrigeration systems ensure that the flowers stay fresh. Customers follow the instructions appearing on the touch screen, which clearly explain how to purchase flowers from the machine in a few easy steps, and an audio sound system enables customers to hear the instructions as well.

	Flower vending machines can be pre-programmed to display the languages appropriate for the country in which they are located. Customers choose their preferred language, indicated on the machine's touch screen, and then press START. The next set of instructions request the customer's credit card. The customer swipes his/her credit card in the card reader, and then waits a few seconds for confirmation. Once the card has been validated, the customer selects a bouquet and enters its number on the touch screen. The instructions do request that customers confirm their choice and they may change their selection if desired.
	As soon as the customer has confirmed his/her selected bouquet, the carousel inside delivers it to the corresponding door and stops its rotation. The door opens automatically and the customer can easily remove the bouquet inside. Once the bouquet has been removed, the door closes and the inner carousel begins to rotate again.
	The telephone number of a customer support center is displayed prominently on the floral vending machine in the event that customers have any difficulty using the machine, or if there is a malfunction. Enjoy your purchase, and please use the flower vending machine again for quick, convenient shopping. It's that simple!
