Combo Snack & Cold Drinks Vending Machine
Floor-standing Necta snack and cold drinks vending machine (formerly the Orchestra Touch) with a 7-inch touchscreen and a shopping basket, so people can buy several items in one transaction.
Ideal Space
Advisory first
Best for sites that want snacks and cold drinks in a single floor footprint rather than two separate machines, especially smaller-to-medium offices, public reception areas, transport hubs and any site where floor space and a coherent visual presence both matter.
The Necta Gusto 8 Pro Touch (formerly the Necta Orchestra Touch) is the combi snack and cold drinks vending machine in the Necta range, built for sites that want both product categories from a single floor footprint rather than two machines side by side. The cabinet is black anodised aluminium with a diamond-cut frame around the interface, which is a step up from the utility look of typical combo machines and sits well in reception areas, hotel public spaces and client-facing parts of a workplace.
The Touch is the version we recommend, for one practical reason: the shopping basket. The 7-inch touchscreen lets people browse, add several items and pay once, instead of making a separate purchase for every product. That is quicker for the person in front of the machine and for the queue behind them, and it makes a snack and a drink one payment rather than two. The screen also carries promotions and full nutritional information for whatever is selected.
Inside, Necta's VisioShop trays are transparent and modular, so the width of each selection can be changed to suit the packaging, from crisps and confectionery to cans and bottles. The cabinet can be set up for ambient snacks, chilled cans and bottles, fresh food at 0 to 4 degrees, or a mix, with up to seven trays, 53 selections and 464 products. A lift lowers products to the collection bin rather than dropping them. We typically recommend it for smaller to medium offices that want snacks and drinks in one footprint, and as the snack unit in a bank with the Barista 1000 Touch (hot drinks) and the Gusto Drum (fresh food).
In practice
Most vending machines make you pay once per item. The Gusto 8 Pro Touch lets people add a drink, a snack and something for later to a basket and pay once. It is quicker at busy times and it is how people already expect to shop.
Two separate machines take twice the floor space, two service visits and two payment terminals. The Gusto 8 Pro delivers both product categories from one cabinet, which is the practical thing that matters when floor space or visual coherence is the constraint.
A three-unit bank is the design intent: Gusto 8 Pro Touch for snacks and cold drinks, Barista 1000 Touch for hot drinks, Gusto Drum for fresh food, all in matching styling. For hospitals, universities and large workplaces, this is what coherent multi-machine vending looks like.

Explore this productAnswers to what we're most often asked when scoping a rollout.
On most vending machines every item is a separate purchase: select, pay, collect, then start again. The Gusto 8 Pro Touch lets people browse on the touchscreen, add several products to a basket and pay once. It is quicker at busy times, it suits someone buying for a colleague as well, and it is the main reason we recommend the Touch over the keypad version.
Yes. Necta renamed the Orchestra as the Gusto 8 Pro, and the Orchestra Touch as the Gusto 8 Pro Touch. It is the same black anodised aluminium cabinet. You may also hear it called a Gusto combi in the trade, which refers to the combined snack plus cans and bottles layout. If you have been quoted for an Orchestra, or have one on site, this is its current name.
Three reasons: floor space (one footprint instead of two), operational coherence (one service visit, one payment terminal, one stock-rotation visit), and visual presence (one premium-styled cabinet instead of two utility units). For sites where any of those matters, the combi is the right answer. For very high-volume snack-only or drinks-only sites, dedicated single-category machines may be the better fit.
Yes, that is a core capability. Cans and bottles are held at 8 to 15 degrees, and the cabinet can also be configured with a fresh food zone at 0 to 4 degrees. For a site where fresh food is the main event (sandwiches, salads, plated meals) the Gusto Drum is the right machine, and the two are designed to stand side by side.
Yes, the three units are designed for it, with matching styling. For hospitals, universities and larger workplace sites that want hot drinks, snacks and cold drinks, and fresh food at a single point, the three-unit Necta bank is the cleanest implementation we can spec.
Floor-standing placement and a standard 230V 13-amp electrical supply. No plumbed water is required, unlike hot drinks machines. Standard install timelines are 2 to 3 weeks once specified and ordered. Service includes quarterly preventative maintenance, with restocking matched to site demand.
