Since it is on Rent Basis it is not an Asset and all the expense incurred for the same in regards to beverages should be debited to Staff Welfare Account. Monthly Rent is an Indirect Expenses. You might also have given some Security Deposit for the machine which will be treated debited to "DEPOSITS AND ADVANCES" in the books of accounts
