FAQ

Questions we get asked.

Nothing. We buy the machine, stock it, service it, and handle the payment system. You provide the space and the outlet.

You give your current vendor notice, they pull their own machine — we never touch their property — and we coordinate our install for the same week, stocked the same day. One call to us starts it: 309-635-3382.

Fair, posted prices on the name brands they already buy. Prices are on the cooler before anyone pays, and nobody is charged until they take something — the cameras tally only what leaves the shelf.

There's no hard minimum. National operators usually won't take an account under a hundred people — that's exactly the size we're built for. Tell us your headcount and we'll give you a straight answer about fit.

About 3½ feet wide and 3 feet deep, plus 6 inches of clearance behind it for airflow. It needs one standard 120V outlet and an indoor, climate-controlled spot.

No. Thirty days’ notice, either direction. We’d rather earn the spot by keeping it stocked.

On a set schedule based on how fast product moves at your location. Our machines report what’s running low, so we’re not guessing.

Yes. Tell us what your people want and we stock it. Ask us to pull something and it’s gone next visit.

Yes. Water, granola bars, nuts, trail mix, and other options are part of a standard lineup, and we’ll weight it however your location wants.

Probably not. National operators usually won’t take an account under a hundred people. That’s the size we’re built for.

Serving Bloomington, Normal, Lincoln, and surrounding central Illinois communities.

Every cooler is cashless — cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Tap to unlock the door, grab what you want, and walk away. No bills, no coins, nothing to jam.

You reach an owner directly — call or text 309-635-3382. No ticket queue, no call center. If a charge is wrong, we make it right.

No. Our machines run on their own cellular connection, so there's nothing for your IT to set up or support.

A glass-door smart cooler, not a traditional vending machine — open the door, take what you want, and walk away. AI cameras detect what you took and charge automatically.

From a lunch ritual — we'd park side by side in the back row of a gas station lot and talk big plans over sandwiches. The back line is where the idea started; supply is what we do: snacks and cold drinks for central Illinois workplaces.
