remote monitoring of sales and stock on every machine
Every line runs through one operator with enterprise operations behind him — Target, Sodexo, Legends Hospitality — who now runs his own machines.
We own the machine, buy the inventory, stock it and service it. Your venue gets a lit, branded machine and a share of every sale — no staff, no cash handling, nothing on your network.
The same machines we run, delivered ready to sell: function-tested, custom-wrapped, card reader and connectivity installed, remote setup and an onboarding guide, with a parts warranty.
How to run a small vending business like an enterprise: sourcing, pricing, remote monitoring, reconciliation and the automation that keeps a one-person operation on schedule.
Tape, laces, wax, mouthguards and pucks in one lit, self-serve machine wrapped in your rink's identity. Open every hour the ice is, with no counter to staff.
Food, smart retail, collectibles, sports, amusement, workplace and more. Every unit ships wrapped, connected and configured to the location.
