FAQ

Questions hospital leaders ask

What if I already have a vending contract?

FoodSpot does not compete with vending contracts because it is a fresh food location serviced by your dining team. Vending parters who stock with chips and candy do not have the cold-chains, HAACP plans, or operational resources to operate FoodSpot.

Is this a capital purchase or operating expense?

When hospitals purchase FoodSpot, typically initial purchase of the unit falls under CapEx, while the ongoing costs of operation are operating costs.

How long does it take to launch?

Hospitals typically take 4–6 weeks to launch from the date of purchase.

What space is required?

Each microstore is on wheels and has a 3 ft. x 3 ft. footprint.

How much does it cost?

$9,999 one-time hardware cost
$199/month subscription (includes support, data plan, dashboard, and operator app)
2.25% + 10¢ per transaction
