Office (up to 20 employees) seeking a snack machine
- Daily foot traffic 0-20
- Open 5 days/week
Office buildings are the classic vending placement: predictable weekday traffic, captive demand between meetings, and decision-makers who want the amenity without managing it.
An office with 75-150 on-site employees typically supports a snack/beverage combo, and break-room placement means the machine is passed several times a day by every person in the building. Card readers matter more here than anywhere — office workers rarely carry cash.
Property managers usually grant placement free in smaller buildings; larger corporate campuses commonly expect a 5-15% commission. Weekends are dead, so route planning should pair offices with seven-day locations.
A common rule of thumb is 40-50+ people for a beverage machine and 75+ for a snack/combo pair. Below that, sales usually cannot cover restocking visits.
Small and mid-size offices usually host machines free as an employee amenity. Large buildings and corporate campuses more commonly take a 5-15% commission on gross sales.
Coffee, energy drinks, and sparkling water lead beverages; protein bars, chips, and candy lead snacks. Offices skew toward premium and better-for-you items compared with industrial sites.
