SMARTE WHEELS ® SELF-SERVICE VENDED STROLLER SYSTEM Fun for children, convenient for parents, hassle-free for management What’s not to like? SMARTE WHEELS ® SELF-SERVICE VENDED STROLLER SYSTEM
Your guests will love the fun, easy to use vended strollers; you’ll love the hands-free revenue stream with no capital expense. Smarte Wheels strollers are available from a self-service vending machine. Your guests can take advantage of all the benefits of having a fun stroller for children without having to rent from a Guest Services desk. The durable plastic strollers are offered in a variety of bright colors and “nest” snugly in a track so they use a minimum amount of square footage. The Smarte Carte patented vending station accepts credit cards as well as cash and dispenses change. Our hands-free program helps ensure your staff is focused on running the mall while still providing a premier stroller service for your guests. It’s fun, it’s easy, and there is no capital expenditure for you. Use credit card or cash at the vending station. Pull the next stroller in line from the release arm. Watch children smile and enjoy hours of entertainment and comfort in the stroller. The process for your guests is simple Tired of using Operations to maintain strollers? Smarte Carte location managers maintain and service the equipment, providing all parts and repairs free of charge as part of the program. Looking to invest capital in your mall instead of in strollers? Smarte Carte owns and installs the stroller vending equipment and pays you a part of the stroller rental revenue. There is nothing for you to buy and there is no ongoing maintenance fee.
