Vending Machine Revenue Sharing in the UAE
Mercury Vending provides and manages the machine — you earn a share of product revenue from your location.
The revenue sharing model is an arrangement where Mercury Vending places a machine on your premises, manages the full operation, and shares a percentage of product sales revenue with you. Unlike the free placement model where Mercury Vending retains all revenue, and unlike the rental model where you pay a fixed fee, the revenue share creates a genuine commercial partnership aligned around sales performance.
What Is the Revenue Sharing Model?
Under a revenue sharing arrangement, Mercury Vending places and operates a vending machine on your premises. We manage stocking, maintenance and payment administration. At the end of each month, we calculate total product sales and remit your agreed percentage share to you. The higher the sales at your location, the more both parties earn.
How Revenue Sharing Works
- Site Assessment We assess the revenue potential of your location based on footfall and demographics.
- Revenue Share Agreement We agree on a revenue percentage — typically 10–25% depending on site characteristics.
- Machine Installation Machine placed and commissioned at no cost to you.
- Monthly Revenue Reporting Sales data reported monthly with your commission clearly itemised.
- Payment Your revenue share transferred monthly.

Revenue Sharing in the UAE Vending Market
Revenue sharing is particularly popular with property owners, building managers, educational institutions and hospitality operators who control high-footfall locations and want to monetise those locations without operational involvement. In the UAE, where many buildings and facilities are managed by professional real estate or facilities management companies, the revenue share model offers an attractive passive income arrangement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What percentage revenue share is typical?
Revenue share percentages depend on the location, footfall and commercial arrangement. We typically discuss a range of 10–25% of net sales. Higher percentages are available for exceptional locations.
How is revenue calculated?
Revenue is calculated on net product sales (total sales minus VAT). Your percentage share is applied to this figure and remitted monthly.
What if the machine does not generate significant sales?
If sales are consistently low, we discuss the situation transparently. We may recommend product range changes, repositioning the machine or transitioning to a different commercial model.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
Revenue sharing agreements typically have an initial term of 12 months. After this, they continue on a rolling basis with notice required to terminate.
