Frequently Asked Questions About Vending Services
How do I get vending machines for my office for free?
Getting started is simple. Just visit VendingGroup.com and click either “Vending for a Single Location” or “Vending for Multiple Locations.” Once you submit the short form, our team will reach out to confirm eligibility. Most offices with 40 or more employees—or steady foot traffic—qualify for free vending machines, installation, and ongoing service.
Can I get vending machines installed in all of my company’s offices?
Yes, and you won’t need to manage vendors in each city. Vending Group specializes in multi-location vending management across the U.S. Whether you operate regionally or nationally, we provide one point of contact, one contract, and coordinated service across all your properties. It’s vending made scalable.
Can I request healthy snack options in my vending machine?
Absolutely. We offer a wide range of healthy and specialty snack options—like low-sugar drinks, protein bars, vegan snacks, and more. You’ll have a say in your product mix, and we’ll tailor it to your team’s preferences. Whether you’re promoting wellness or just want more variety, we’ve got you covered.
What’s the difference between a MicroMarket and a vending machine?
A MicroMarket is like a self-serve convenience store inside your breakroom. Instead of traditional vending machines, it features open shelves, coolers, and a self-checkout kiosk. This setup allows for a wider selection, including fresh meals, drinks, and snacks—ideal for larger offices or high-traffic areas that want to offer more than basic vending.
Are the vending machines energy efficient or modern?
Yes. We install modern machines that are energy-efficient, ADA-compliant, and equipped with cashless payment technology—including tap-to-pay and mobile wallets. Plus, many machines have smart telemetry systems that alert us when inventory is low or service is needed, so your breakroom stays hassle-free.
What happens if the machine breaks down?
Our team handles it fast. Each machine is monitored for issues, and we respond to service requests quickly—often within 24 hours. You don’t have to troubleshoot or make repair calls. Just reach out to our support team and we’ll take care of the rest.
Can vending machines increase tenant satisfaction or retention?
Yes—convenient amenities like vending machines, MicroMarkets, or snack delivery can significantly boost tenant satisfaction. Whether it’s a residential complex or commercial property, offering 24/7 access to snacks and beverages helps create a more comfortable, self-sufficient environment for residents or employees.
Do you offer vending machineS for hotels and apartment buildings?
We do. Hotels, motels, and multi-family properties with sufficient rooms or units typically qualify for free vending. We handle the setup, stocking, and service, so you can offer a guest-friendly amenity without the burden of managing it in-house.
Do you need to pay for electricity for the vending machine?
Yes, vending machines plug into a standard wall outlet and do require electricity. However, energy usage is minimal—typically equivalent to a small appliance. We use modern, energy-efficient models to keep operating costs low while delivering a great experience.
How much does it cost to get a vending machine through Vending Group?
It’s completely free. There’s no cost for the machine, installation, or ongoing service. We make our money through product sales—so your vending stays hassle-free and budget-friendly.
Who stocks the machines and handles service issues?
We do. Our team coordinates stocking, restocking, and all maintenance or repair requests. You never have to worry about empty machines or broken equipment again.
Can I choose the products that go in the machine?
Yes. We work with you to customize the product selection based on your preferences and what your employees, guests, or residents actually want—Coca-Cola, Pepsi, healthy snacks, energy drinks, you name it.
What types of businesses do you serve?
We work with offices, apartment complexes, hotels, universities, hospitals, and multi-site businesses of all kinds—whether you have one location or hundreds across the country.
Do you offer vending services outside of snacks and drinks?
Absolutely. In addition to traditional vending machines, we also manage coffee service, micro-markets, pantry programs, ice and water solutions, massage chairs, amusement, and even laundry vending for apartments or campus housing.
What if I manage multiple locations in different states?
That’s our specialty. We offer national vending management—so you’ll have one point of contact, one agreement, and one streamlined process for all your sites.
Is there a contract?
Yes, but it’s simple and transparent. Our agreements outline service expectations and responsibilities so everyone’s on the same page—and there are no surprise fees.
Can I get beverage and snack vending machines for my office?
Yes. Vending Group provides free vending machines for offices with at least 40 employees, or for workplaces with enough foot traffic to support machine usage.
Can I get snack and beverage vending machines for my apartment building?
Yes. Apartment communities with 90 or more units typically qualify for free vending machine placement or even micro-markets through Vending Group.
How can I get vending machines set up at my hotel?
It’s simple. Hotels, motels, senior living centers, and recovery facilities with 40 rooms or more usually qualify for free vending setup. Just fill out the request form and Vending Group will walk you through the process.
Can I mix free and paid vending services under one agreement?
Yes — and that’s one of the biggest advantages of working with Vending Group. You can combine free services like snack and beverage vending machines or a lobby MicroMarket, with premium paid options like office coffee service or filtered water stations, or office pantry snack delivery — all under one point of contact and a single, streamlined agreement. Whether you’re managing one location or dozens across the country, we make it easy to bundle the right mix of amenities for your space, budget, and team’s preferences.
