Built by an operator.
For operators.
Modern Amenities, founded by Mike Hoffmann, started by teaching people how to build vending businesses. That course grew into Vendingpreneurs, a community of 2,000+ paying members. VendHub is the platform that community kept needing, built by the people who run routes and ran the school that teaches them.
From 60-hour weeks to a route I owned.
Sixty-hour workweeks. $1,200 paychecks. Forty more years of that wasn’t an option.
First move was a fixer-upper, bought with an emergency fund as the down payment. Two years of work later, I rolled it into a mountain condo running as a short-term rental. That was the first real passive income I’d ever had.
With a kid on the way, I needed something lower-capital. Vending. A dozen machines later, the routes were paying me back every week.
Mike Hoffmann · FounderThe community kept asking for software that didn’t exist.
Vendingpreneurs grew to 2,000+ paying members. Operators running real routes, asking the same questions every week. Where do I buy this machine. Where do I source this product. How do I find the next location.
The answers always lived somewhere else. Retail sites for machines, scattered distributor accounts for product, spreadsheets for everything in between. Nothing was built for how the business actually runs.
VendHub is that. National wholesale, equipment with marketplace credits, lead generation off Google Maps, and one workflow that ties it together.
“I spent years teaching people how to run this business. VendHub is what I wished existed every time I sat down to teach it.”
Three commitments guide what we build.
Three statements guide every roadmap call: a product vision, a product strategy, and a business strategy. They decide what ships, what waits, and what gets cut.
Enterprise capability, owner-operator agility.
Grow without growing pains. The platform does what enterprise software does, and your operation stays as nimble as the day you started.
One platform, without leaving.
Everything an operator needs to add leverage to the business in one place. Source, acquire, place, grow. Each layer feeds the next, so growth compounds across the business.
Land with simplicity, expand as you grow.
Start small, scale into the platform. Every operator who joins makes the marketplace stronger. More volume means better terms, passed back to everyone.
