The machine comprises location system configured for automatic geolocation of the machine, and is configured to send to the remote resource location information determined by the location system. This for example makes it possible to confirm or correct the location of a machine, to correct mistakes that can occur when a machine is installed or moved, or to take appropriate measures when a machine is stolen. In another embodiment, a system includes such a beverage preparation machine and a remote resource with which it is configured to communicate. In a further embodiment, a method is provided for remote management of a beverage preparation machine.
