Dwell Time is Directly Linked to Refreshment
Shopper dwell time is directly linked to refreshment availability
The longer a shopper stays, the more they spend. But when refreshment options are limited, inconvenient or overpriced, people leave earlier than they otherwise would — and don't always come back the same day.
Reduced Dwell Time
Without convenient refreshments, shoppers leave sooner — taking their remaining spend with them. Easy access to drinks and snacks keeps them browsing longer.
Coverage Gaps
Food courts aren't always positioned where shoppers are. Gaps in coverage cost footfall across the whole site — strategically placed vending fills them instantly.
Management Overhead
Your centre management team has enough to oversee. Purpose Planet fills refreshment gaps cost-effectively, with no additional burden on your staff.
