A floor-to-ceiling managed micro market unit installed in a workplace, fully stocked with sodas, energy drinks, water, snacks, and grab-and-go essentials. Branded '24H Smart Vending' with a built-in tap-to-pay screen on the side.
What goes in
Drinks · Snacks · Grab & Go essentials, stocked to match what your people actually buy.

Why hosts say yes

All of the upside of a snack bar. None of the work.

Open 24/7
Always available, no staff on payroll, no register to close out.
Fully managed
We deliver, install, stock, restock, clean, and handle every payment dispute. You do nothing.
Compact footprint
One standard outlet, a few feet of floor, and a Wi-Fi or cellular signal. That's it.
Built-in promo screen
Run your own announcements, QR offers, or event listings on the machine's display at no extra cost.
Clean, professional presentation
Modern retail-grade fixture, not a beat-up vending machine. Tenants, members, and employees actually notice.
Flexible inventory
We tune the product mix to what your specific location buys — no more stale product nobody wants.

Real installs · every angle

Different machines. Different mixes. Real locations.

Photos from live deployments across South Texas — interior, exterior, and the buyer flow. Your machine gets stocked to match what your people actually buy.

Best fit

Locations with steady foot traffic and nowhere convenient to buy a snack.

Tap any location below for why micro markets land there and what products usually sell best.

Not on the list? Ask anyway — if the traffic is there, we'll make it work.

Stocked for the space, not the catalog

Your people will literally tell us what to stock.

We start with what your location type usually needs (tap any "best fit" card above for examples), watch what actually sells the first few weeks, and rotate the mix to match — including any requests your people make (chalkboards optional). Slow movers get pulled; winners get more facings. You never see a stale product nobody wants.

How it works

From inquiry to live market in under three weeks.

Step 1: We evaluate your location
Free site eval — we look at foot traffic, power, signal, and confirm what your people will buy.
Step 2: We install the market
Delivered, installed, and configured for your space. Setup is one standard outlet and a network connection.
Step 3: We stock the inventory
Opening product mix dialed in for your location type, with any specific requests from your people baked in.
Step 4: Customers self-checkout
Tap-to-pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or contactless card. Digital receipts by text or email. 60-second buyer flow.
Step 5: We monitor and restock
Local team handles restocks, cleaning, payment reconciliation, and any service calls. Hands-off for you.

Request a site evaluation

Tell us about your location.

We'll review the fit and reach out to schedule a walkthrough. No cost, no commitment.

Spotted a location that would do well? Submit it. You don't have to own it, manage it, or even work there — if it's the right kind of spot (steady foot traffic, somewhere people wait or hang out, nowhere convenient to grab a snack), we'll reach out to whoever runs it on your behalf. The Best fit section has examples.

Common questions

What people usually ask.

I'm not the property owner or manager — can I still submit?

Absolutely. Anyone can submit a location they think would do well — you don't have to work there, live there, or have any connection beyond noticing it's a good fit. Check the Best fit section above for the kinds of spots that land well (offices, gyms, apartment lobbies, clinics, auto shops, warehouses, hotels, schools, laundromats, waiting areas — basically anywhere with foot traffic and no nearby snack option). If you submit one, we'll reach out to whoever runs it on your behalf. With your permission we'll credit you as the lead; if you'd rather stay anonymous, just say so in the notes.

What does it cost the host location?

Nothing in most cases. We supply the machine, the product, the payment system, and the service. The host provides floor space, a standard outlet, and (ideally) Wi-Fi. Terms are negotiated case-by-case after the site evaluation.

How big is the machine?

Our standard unit fits in a footprint about the size of a tall refrigerator and needs one regular 120V outlet. We can also do smaller countertop or larger combo configurations depending on the space and traffic.

Who handles restocking and repairs?

We do — all of it. Restocking, cleaning, payment reconciliation, and any service calls are on us. The only thing the host ever does is point us to the outlet.

What payment methods does it accept?

Tap-to-pay credit and debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and contactless cards. Digital receipts by text or email. Fully cashless.

Can we customize what gets stocked?

Yes. Custom stocking is part of the offering — tell us what your people want and we'll dial the mix in. We keep adjusting based on what actually sells week over week.

What if it doesn't work out?

We remove the unit. No restocking fee, no contract trap. If your location isn't generating enough traffic to justify the space, we both move on.

Ready to put one in?

Two-minute form. One walkthrough. We do the rest.
