How We Work

It's easier than you think — three steps, start to finish, no proposals to compare and no sales calls to sit through.

Tell Us About Your Location

Property type, size, and which area needs service — a break room, a waiting room, a guest area, whatever fits your business. Takes about two minutes.

We Schedule a Site Visit

Your local team comes to your site, walks you through your options, and schedules delivery of the equipment you choose — no back-and-forth over email.

Machine Is Installed

The same team you met with becomes your ongoing local point of contact — managing everything from restocking to repairs, start to finish.

What Makes Micro Markets Different

Real shelving and a self-checkout kiosk, built for locations with the traffic to support it.

Real Shelving, Not a Machine

Open shelving and a beverage cooler replace individual machines, with a self-checkout kiosk instead of a coin slot.

Room for Fresh Food

Assortment goes beyond packaged snacks — many setups include a fresh food case.

Built for Volume

Designed for locations with 75+ employees or equivalent daily traffic where a single machine can't keep up.

Which One Is Right for You?

Both are installed and managed at zero cost — the real question is which one fits your space and headcount right now.

Choose Vending if…

Your location has fewer than about 75 employees, or you don't have a dedicated corner or small room to spare.

VS
Choose a Micro Market if…

You have 75+ employees or high daily traffic, and the space to support open shelving and a self-checkout kiosk.

Where Micro Markets Fits Best

Real signs this is the right call for your location:

Warehouse, distribution, and manufacturing facilities with 75+ employees on-site

Larger corporate office floors where a single machine can't keep up with demand

Any location that wants a real breakroom amenity, not just a machine in the corner

What Is Off-Site Convenience Costing Your Workplace?

Every trip an employee makes off-site for a snack or a drink is time away from their desk. It's a small, easy-to-overlook cost per trip, but it compounds fast across a full team over a full year — plug in your own numbers below to see roughly what it adds up to for a location like yours.

$76,267 estimated annual cost of not having vending available 3,467 employee-hours a year at $22/hr

Frequently Asked Questions

Many prospective customers have a number of different questions for us when considering vending for the first time. A few of those questions are listed below:

What's the minimum headcount for a micro market to make sense?
Most local teams look for roughly 75 or more employees on-site, though this varies by traffic pattern — your local team will confirm based on your specific location.
How much space does a micro market need?
Typically a dedicated area of 100+ square feet, depending on the shelving and cooler configuration — confirmed during the site visit.
How does loss prevention work on an open, self-checkout setup?
Local teams use a mix of camera coverage and self-checkout kiosk design to manage this — it's a standard part of how micro markets are run, and something to discuss directly with your local team.
What payment methods does a micro market accept?
Card and mobile wallet through the self-checkout kiosk — most setups aren't built to accept cash.
Is there any cost to add a micro market to my location?
No — equipment, installation, and ongoing management are provided at no cost to qualifying locations.
Who restocks and manages the micro market once it's installed?
Your matched local team handles restocking, repairs, and maintenance directly — you contact them, not Vendepot, if something comes up.
Can I choose what products are stocked?
Your local team sets the initial assortment and adjusts it over time based on what actually sells at your location.
Does a micro market need a dedicated staff member to run it?
No — it's self-checkout, so no staff time is required day to day; your local team handles restocking and maintenance.
Can a micro market be added if we already have vending machines?
Yes — your local team can advise on this during a site visit, depending on your space and current setup.
