Why Hosts Love It

Revenue without the headache.

Designed to be the easiest retail partnership on your property.

Monthly payout

Transparent revenue share deposited monthly. We share real reporting and you keep full visibility of machine performance.

Tiny footprint

About 1 m². Standard 240V 10A power point. No plumbing, no bolt-downs, no venue damage, no structural requirements.

Crowd magnet

A live phone case printing in front of shoppers is a genuine attraction. We measure lift in dwell time and nearby retail pull-through.

Zero-hassle operations

Our Australian team monitors every machine 24/7. All servicing and restocking is scheduled around your venue hours — never during peak trade.

Fully insured

General liability coverage standard on every unit. COI issued to your entity on request within 24 hours.

Installs in hours

Delivered on a wheeled crate, unboxed and positioned in 4–6 hours. Live and earning before your next shift change.

Ideal Venues

Where NextGen performs best.

If your venue has foot traffic, phones, and a little wall space — it's probably a fit.

Shopping centres

Concourse machines beside food courts, family zones or anchor-store corridors. High-intent, high-dwell traffic — Westfield, Chadstone, Queen Street Mall and the like.

Airports & transit

Post-security terminals, baggage halls, long-dwell international departures. Phones are in hand, time to spare.

Entertainment venues

Arenas, theme parks, cinemas, family entertainment centres — anywhere guests wait or pose for a photo.

University campuses

Student unions, campus commons, O-Week and game-day venues. High-frequency, novelty-driven purchase behaviour.

Lifestyle precincts

Open-air retail with strong weekend foot traffic and family audiences. Premium dwell neighbourhoods — James Street, South Bank, Bondi.

Hotels, casinos & conferences

Hotel lobbies, casino retail floors, convention concourses, cruise terminals — guests with phones, cards and time.

Or take the bigger cut

Why host for rev-share when you could own the machine?

Hosts earn a share of revenue. Owners keep ~60–70% gross margin on every sale. If you already control the venue, owning the machine captures the full upside — and we still help with install, software and support.

Host

Monthly rev-share. Zero capital. Zero risk. Easiest path.

Own (recommended)

~60–70% gross margin, 100% of profit. AU equipment finance via Pepper, Liberty, Selfco, Finlease + more — see /finance/. Best total return if you control the space.

Multi-unit / territory

Bulk pricing, venue shortlist, territory exclusivity for serious operators.

Say hi to NextGen

A friendly face on your concourse.

Shoppers see him, stop, watch a case print, and tell their friends. That's the lift hosts get from a NextGen placement — on top of the monthly rev-share.
