What We Stock

We curate the mix.
Your residents notice.

Generic vending stocks the same forty SKUs in every building. We don't. The mix in a tech-corridor apartment looks different from the mix in a hotel lobby — because the people using it are different. The mix is what residents remember.

How We Curate

Three inputs.
One mix per building.

Every placement starts with the same question: who is going to use this machine, when, and what do they actually want?

01
Building demographic

Tech professionals buy differently than families. A luxury building in the Bothell tech corridor pulls toward protein bars and functional energy. A mixed-demographic mid-rise pulls toward classic chocolate and mainstream soda. We assess on the site visit.

02
Daypart pattern

Lobby placements skew morning + evening commute. Gym placements skew post-workout (electrolytes, protein). Mailroom placements run all day. The peak-hour pattern shapes which SKUs get prime eye-level slots and how often we restock.

03
Live sales data

Every transaction is tracked. After 30 days, the data shows your top sellers, your dead SKUs, and your stockout patterns. The mix shifts at each restock based on what your building is actually buying — not what we guessed at the site visit.

Sample Mixes

What we'd run
in three building types.

Representative slices, not exhaustive lists. A full machine runs 40+ SKUs in a combo vendor, 80+ in a smart cooler.

Why It Matters

Curation is the difference
between a machine that runs
and a machine that gets used.

01
Generic stock = empty rows

A traditional vending machine runs the same SKUs everywhere. In a tech-corridor apartment, that means six rows of Hostess sit untouched while residents Doordash for the Celsius they actually wanted. Curation prevents the dead-row problem.

02
The mix shifts every restock

Sales data flows in real time. Slow movers get pulled. New SKUs get tested in 30-day windows. By month three, the machine reflects what your residents actually buy — not the generic mix any operator would have started with.

03
The 2020 mix doesn't work anymore

Celsius shelf space grew 17% in 2026. Liquid Death just entered energy. Olipop and Poppi crossed $1B valuations. Operators who curate around what's actually selling now ride those waves. Operators who don't are still running 2018's mix.
