How It Works

From conversation to working breakroom in about two weeks.

Three steps. We've designed the process to be as light as possible on your facilities team. No procurement runaround, no surprise cost, no contract you need a lawyer to read.

1

Tell us about your facility

Headcount, shift profile, breakroom layout, what's there now, what's frustrating about it. You can do it in two minutes on the form or a 10-minute call.

This is also where we tell you the truth about fit. If you're at 35 employees on a single shift, a micro-market won't pencil — and we'll tell you a vending solution is probably the right move. We don't push installs that won't work.

  • 2-minute form or short call — your choice
  • Honest answer on fit before we book a site walk
  • If you're 50+ employees, we'll usually want to see the space

We design and install

If we're moving forward, we walk your space, measure the breakroom, look at power and water access (if you're going hot-food), and design the install. You'll see a layout plan and an SKU mix tuned to your workforce — manufacturing floors get different products than corporate offices.

We finance the equipment, handle delivery, do the install, set up payment systems, and stock the first run. No cost on your end. Typical timeline from signed agreement to first stock is two to three weeks for open-concept and hybrid markets, one to two weeks for standalone smart coolers.

  • Site walk to confirm layout, power, and access
  • Equipment financed by us — no cost on your side
  • SKU mix tuned to your workforce demographics and shifts
  • Cashless payment — tap, app, badge, or payroll deduction

We stock and service it

Once it's live, we run the operation. Restocking on a cadence that matches your shifts (so third shift doesn't show up to empty shelves). Equipment serviced. Payment systems monitored. Sales and inventory reported. If something needs attention, you tell us — you don't open a ticket with a national help desk.

If we get the SKU mix wrong on day one (we usually nail 80% and tune the rest after the first 30 days of data), we adjust. The market is supposed to fit your team — not the other way around.

  • Restocking cadence matches your shift change times
  • Real-time inventory and sales reporting
  • Payment systems and equipment serviced by us
  • SKU mix re-tuned after the first 30 days based on actual sales

What's included

Every install includes the full operation. You don't manage equipment, vendors, or restocking schedules.

Vending vs. micro-market — when each one wins

We do micro-markets only. But we'll tell you when vending is actually the right answer for your facility.

Ready to walk your facility?

Send us the basics — headcount, shifts, breakroom space, what's there now. We'll come back with a real assessment of fit, not a brochure.

If you're outside Illinois and Wisconsin, reach out anyway. We're growing the footprint and we'll tell you honestly whether we can serve your facility today.

What you'll hear back

  • Whether your headcount and shifts make a micro-market a good fit
  • Which market type (open-concept, smart cooler, hybrid) we'd recommend
  • An estimated timeline from agreement to first stock
  • What the install would look like in your space
