Our Case Study – Chai Machine in a Gas Station Convenience Store

Here's what happens when a chai machine for gas station use goes into a real site.

A highway gas station convenience store we worked with had strong coffee sales but almost no tea sales. They installed a branded chai vending machine for gas station customers right beside the coffee, with simple signage like "Instant Chai Lattes – Just Press a Button".

Evening and late-night drivers started choosing chai instead of coffee.

Non-coffee drinkers finally had a reason to come inside the convenience store, not just pay at the pump.

Staff reported that the chai machine was easier to maintain and run than older coffee equipment.

The Outcome

After tracking numbers, the owner saw that the chai machine for convenience store use generated a steady new revenue stream with very little extra labour. That model is now being reviewed for additional gas station locations.

The Takeaway

Once customers see and taste it, the chai machine becomes a real reason they choose your gas station over the next one down the road.
