How it works

Zero cost. Zero work. Here's exactly how.

No catch, no hidden fees, no "just sign here." Below is the whole process from first conversation to a fully stocked machine — plus what's in the agreement and what we handle every week after.

You pay nothing

We own the machine and the inventory. Our revenue comes from what your people buy — never from you.

You sign one simple agreement

A 2-year location agreement gives us permission to place and operate the cooler at your address. That's it.

We do everything else

Delivery, install, stocking, restocking, cleaning, repairs, payments, and customer support. You get the amenity.

The process

Five steps. About three weeks. One short meeting.

Most locations go from "tell me more" to "it's installed" in two to four weeks, depending on your schedule.

Day 1 · 10 minutes

Request a placement review

Fill out the short form or call 209-921-1015. We'll ask about your location type, rough daily foot traffic, hours, and where you'd picture the machine. If we're not a fit, we'll tell you right away so nobody wastes time.

2
Week 1 · 20-minute walkthrough

Walkthrough & product plan

We stop by (or review a few photos) to confirm the best spot — near the entrance, front desk, lounge, or break room — and check for an outlet. Then we propose a starting product mix built around your crowd: recovery drinks for a gym, coffee and water for a service lounge, fresh food for an office. You approve the lineup and can veto anything.

Week 1–2 · e-signature

Sign the 2-year location agreement

A plain-English agreement that lets us place and operate the cooler at your address for two years. It spells out what we're responsible for (everything about the machine) and what you provide (the space, the outlet, and reasonable access for restocking). Full breakdown below.

Week 2–4 · about 2 hours on site

Delivery & installation

Our crew delivers the machine, positions it, plugs it into a standard outlet, connects it to the network (cellular by default, so we don't touch your Wi-Fi), tests payments, and stocks it for day one. We'll leave a small sign explaining how it works and a direct contact number for your staff.

Ongoing · you do nothing

Stocking, cleaning & service — forever handled

The cooler reports its inventory in real time, so we restock before shelves run low rather than on a rigid schedule. Every visit includes wiping down the glass and shelves and checking temperature logs. If anything ever needs attention, you text or call us and we come out — there's no ticket queue.

For your members & customers

Tap. Grab. Go. That's the whole tutorial.

There's nothing to learn, download, or sign up for. If someone can use a card at a coffee shop, they can use this.

Step 01

Tap

Any credit or debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. A small pre-authorization hold unlocks the door.

Step 02

Grab

Take one item or five. Put something back and it's not charged. Cameras and weight sensors track every shelf.

Step 03

Go

Close the door. The card is charged for exactly what left the cooler, and an itemized receipt is available by text or email.

What's included

Everything. That's not a figure of speech.

If it has to do with the machine, it's our job. Here's the checklist we work from on every placement.

The agreement

The 2-year agreement, in plain English.

You'll get the full document before you sign anything. Here's the gist so there are no surprises.

What you provide

  • Roughly 3 ft × 3 ft of floor space in an agreed location
  • A standard 110V outlet within reach
  • Reasonable access for restocking and service during your business hours
  • A heads-up if you're remodeling, moving, or closing

What we provide

  • The machine, inventory, and all costs to run it
  • Restocking, cleaning, and repairs at no charge
  • Liability insurance covering the machine and our team
  • A product mix you approve, adjusted as you ask

Term & what happens after

  • Two-year initial term from the install date
  • Renew with a handshake, or we remove the machine at no cost
  • No fees, no minimums, no revenue obligations on your side
  • Questions on specifics? Ask before you sign.
Common questions

Things people ask at this point.

Why is it free? What's in it for you?

We make money on the products sold through the machine. A good location with steady traffic generates enough sales to cover the machine, the inventory, and our team's time — so we'd rather earn the placement by making you look good than charge you for it.

What if the machine doesn't sell well at my location?

That's our risk, not yours. We'll adjust the product mix and placement first. In the rare case a location simply doesn't work, we'll talk with you and, if needed, remove the machine at no cost.

Do you need my Wi-Fi?

No. Machines connect over cellular by default. If your building has poor signal we can discuss using a guest network, but it's not required.

How fast do you respond if something's wrong?

We're local, so typically same or next business day. Because the machine reports temperature and door status remotely, we often know about an issue before you do.

Next step

Find out if your location qualifies.

Takes about a minute. We'll reply within one business day with a straight answer — and if it's a fit, a proposed product mix for your space.

Good candidates usually have…

  • 50+ people passing through on a typical day
  • A lobby, lounge, or break area people linger in
  • Early, late, or 24/7 hours (a plus, not a requirement)
  • An outlet and a few square feet of wall
