FAQ

What is a smart fridge vending machine?

A smart fridge vending machine allows customers to unlock the unit, take what they want, and be automatically charged—while operators track inventory and expirations remotely.

How can I expand my food business without opening another location?

Many operators use FoodSpot smart fridge vending machines to place food in high-traffic locations like offices, campuses, and hospitals—without leases or staffing.

Is this just a vending machine?

Not quite. FoodSpot microstores are designed for high-quality fresh food. They unlock with a payment method, allowing your customers to explore your products as if they were opening their own fridge. Because each item is tagged with an RFID sticker, anything that is taken from the fridge is charged to the customer. RFID stickers also empower you to track real-time inventory and expiration tracking remotely from your dashboard.

How quickly can I launch?

One month is about average. FoodSpot can ship your fridge in 5 business days and train your team in one week. The longest process is setting up your merchant account, which can happen as fast as 21 days.

How much does the machine cost?

$9,999 one-time hardware cost
