The Word From the Locker-Room, on the N&W Canto Touch…
‘Golfers are a thrifty lot’, Peter Turner, Managing Director of Houghwood Golf Club, said with a wry smile. ‘They aren’t prepared to drink rubbish but, in the locker room, they refuse point-blank to pay more than £1.50 for a coffee.’
Now, they don’t have to. Houghwood Golf Club, a customer of St. Helen’s based North West Vending, made N&W history when it became the first UK ‘home’ of Canto Touch.
Canto Touch is a free-standing, high-volume drinks vending machine that’s sufficiently robust to withstand the demands of hectic call-centre break-out areas, never mind the rarefied atmosphere of the golf club locker room…
A Big Fan
The club’s golf pro, Barry Taylor, is a big fan. ‘It’s like a giant iPad’, he said approvingly. ‘It doesn’t even look like a vending machine’. He’s got a point: featuring a 21 inch, high definition screen with touch-screen interactivity, it’s cool enough to be mistaken for a games console! ‘It’s dead easy to make a drink to your own specification and the quality is amazing’, Barry continued. ‘The golfers really like it too and personally, I think the locker room coffee’s as good as the stuff sold in the bar.’
‘There’s nobody in the world fussier than lady golfers’, added. ‘They’ve really taken to the new machine and, believe me, that’s a major coup!’ (It is a coup: it means Peter doesn’t need to staff the bar for those Saturday-morning-at-seven starts…)
No wonder they’re calling it ‘the can-do Canto Touch!’ So, if you need a hot drinks vending machine that’s as robust as it’s classy, for customers who insist on the best – talk to N&W about Canto Touch.
