and co-founder of Gimme Vending LLC, which provides technology solutions for vending, during a presentation at the National Auto
matic Merchandising Association show at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
In two years, Jarecki said mobile payment will take the vending industry by storm.
While not all customers will use mobile pay, Jarecki said vending operators should offer as many payment options as possible.
He said mobile payment is more convenient for the vending customer than using cash or paying with a payment card.
