Micro markets for apartments, gyms, hotels and workplaces

A self-checkout store inside your building, installed, stocked and maintained at no cost to you.

Which fits?

Micro market or smart cooler: which fits your space?

A micro market is a small self-checkout store: open shelves, glass-door coolers and a kiosk where people scan and pay. Both are free to host. The difference is space and choice.

Who it is for

Built for your building

A micro market works anywhere people spend the day and want more than one machine can hold.

  • Apartments

    A store residents can use right off the lobby. An amenity that shows on every tour.

    • Highrise and luxury apartments
  • Gyms

    Protein snacks, water and sports drinks members grab on the way out.

    • Gyms and fitness centers
  • Hotels

    A grab-and-go pantry guests can use at any hour, without a front desk sale.

    • Hotels and hospitality
  • Workplaces and warehouses

    Snacks and drinks for every shift, restocked on schedule. A perk that costs the company nothing.

    • Warehouses and large workplaces

Why properties add one

Why properties add a micro market

The same reasons hosts choose a smart cooler, with more on the shelves.

  1. More choice

    A wider range than a single machine, on open shelves people can browse.

  2. No staff needed

    Self-checkout means no counter to run and no cash to count.

  3. Zero cost, zero maintenance

    We supply the market, stock it and service it. Your team does nothing.

  4. An amenity people value

    A high quality amenity that raises overall resident and employee satisfaction.
