Why choose our micro markets

What you get from working with us, beyond the kit on the wall.

24/7 access

Open around the clock for shift workers, late teams, and contractors, without staffing or supervision overheads.

Hundreds of products in one space

Fresh food, drinks, snacks, healthy options and even non-food essentials, far more variety than vending could ever fit.

Self-checkout that flows

Touch-screen kiosks with card, mobile and employee-badge payment. Most transactions clear in under 10 seconds.

Theft-aware, not theft-paranoid

Camera monitoring + employee accounts keep shrinkage typically under 2%. The convenience benefit far outweighs the cost.

Daily fresh-stock rotation

Sandwiches, salads, fresh fruit rotated daily where demand supports it. Allergen tracking built into the product database.

Sales data you actually use

Real-time analytics on what's selling, when, and to whom, feeds back into the product mix decisions every cycle.

Our approach

Better than vending, simpler than a shop

A micro market is what happens when you treat the break room like a small convenience store. Open shelves, refrigerated coolers, fresh food, snacks and drinks, laid out for browsing, not vended through a glass door. People help themselves and pay at a self-checkout kiosk, with shrinkage typically under 2%.

It works particularly well for workplaces that already feel like communities, manufacturing sites with shift patterns, larger offices with ambitious break-room culture, healthcare with 24-hour staffing. The 24/7 access matters as much as the product range; vending doesn't cover late-night and a kitchen doesn't either.

We design the layout around your floor plan and team size, source the product range to match what your team actually buys (we adjust based on early sales data), and handle restocks, fresh-stock rotation and equipment maintenance ourselves. You don't dedicate any staff time to running it.

Frequently asked questions

Get answers to common questions about our services.

A micro market is a self-service convenience store installed in your workplace. Unlike vending machines, products are displayed openly on shelves and in coolers, employees browse, pick up items, and pay at a self-checkout kiosk on the way out.

We can scale to fit your space, from a small corner setup (around 10 sqm) to a full break-room transformation with multiple coolers, ambient shelves and a dedicated checkout zone. We'll design a layout that maximises your available area during the survey.

A combination of honour-based payment, camera monitoring, and employee badge integration. Shrinkage rates across our installs are typically below 2%, and the convenience benefit (employees actually using the space rather than disappearing for 30 minutes to a Tesco) far outweighs the losses.

Almost anything, fresh sandwiches, salads, snacks, drinks, frozen meals, healthy options, confectionery, and even non-food items like phone chargers or toiletries. We customise the selection to your team's preferences and adjust based on what actually sells in the first few weeks.

We handle the lot, initial setup, daily/weekly restocking based on demand, equipment maintenance, and product rotation. You don't need to dedicate any staff time to running the market.

Most installs run as a service-fee + revenue-share model: we handle the operating cost, take the inventory risk, and share product margin with you (or run it as a fully-priced employee benefit). We'll model the right structure for your usage profile during the consultation.
