School (81–100 employees) seeking a snack machine
- Daily foot traffic 81-100
- Open 5 days/week
Schools and campuses concentrate thousands of daily users in one place, but they are the most regulated placement category — federal Smart Snacks rules govern K-12, and campuses negotiate formal contracts.
K-12 vending must meet USDA Smart Snacks nutrition standards during school hours, which constrains the product mix but also thins the competition. Universities are far more open: residence halls, libraries, and rec centers all support machines, and campus dining contracts often bundle vending rights.
Expect formal procurement: district-level contracts for K-12, RFPs for universities. Commissions of 15-30% are common because the traffic is guaranteed.
Yes, but products sold during school hours must meet USDA Smart Snacks standards, and placement typically requires a district-level agreement rather than a handshake with one principal.
Campus machines in high-traffic buildings commonly gross $500-1,000+ per month. Access usually comes through a campus-wide contract or the dining-services operator.
During K-12 school hours: items meeting Smart Snacks limits on calories, sodium, sugar, and fat — think water, baked chips, granola bars. Universities have no such restriction.
