Membership FAQ

Vending Machine

A: This membership can be paid quarterly – first installment of $2,500 is required on sign up. Future installments will be due quarterly prior to next refill. Failure to pay will result in Craft Cartel collecting the vending machine and cancellation of the membership.

A: The vending machine is masssssssive. Empty, it weighs 350kg. Fully stocked (400x cans), it will weigh 520kg. You will need clearance, like you do with a fridge, to ensure air can circulate.

A. Unfortunately, no. We will arrange to restock the machine with you 3 additional times throughout the course of the membership period after the initial delivery date.

Wait, I get HOW MANY beers?!
That’s right. El Patron can hold 400 beers at a time. We’ll fill it up when we deliver it, and then 3 more times during the course of your membership. This roughly equates to 16 (yes, 16) 100 can cases. If you were to stack all the beers in each delivery on top of each other, it would be as high as the top of Stadium Australia!

A. We’ve gotcha covered with the beers we think you’ll love but if it’s not exactly what you’re after, you can contact the concierge service who will work with you to build out the ultimate selection.
A: Just like any fridge, it plugs into a standard power point. It will need air flow around and above it to keep it cool and working.

A: The membership is designed to be used in one location, but we understand plans change. You can coordinate it with us, and for a charge, we will book removalists skilled specifically to move vending machines. Location will need to be agreed prior to, as some surfaces can be tricky (no grass!). Stairs are also something to consider, as this requires additional moving equipment. The machine cannot be moved with stock in it given the additional weight.

A: The machine will be delivered on free vend, meaning it will not take coins or card payments to dispense a beer. If setting up in a licensed premise, you will need to comply with relevant laws, as necessary.
