Question 1

What is a smart vending machine, and how is it different from a traditional vending machine?

Accepted Answer

A connected, cashless cabinet with remote monitoring, real-time inventory, and cloud management. Unlike coil machines, our AI cabinets are open-door: customers tap to unlock, take what they want, and every item is recognized and charged automatically — no stuck spirals, no failed vends.

Question 2

How does the checkout work? Do I need an app?

Accepted Answer

No app required. Customers tap a card to unlock the door, take their items, and close it. AI vision identifies everything taken — and put back — and charges the card in one transaction with a text receipt.

Question 3

What kinds of products can I sell?

Accepted Answer

Anything that fits the shelving: beverages, snacks, fresh meals, protein products, PPE, and travel essentials. Because there are no spiral coils, you're not limited to uniform packaged goods — operators typically stock a broader mix than a traditional machine allows.

Question 4

How accurate is the AI product recognition?

Accepted Answer

Honest answer: accurate enough that we put the number in writing. Our recognition accuracy is [TBD: %] across [TBD: N] SKUs, with put-back detection so customers are never charged for items they return to the shelf. Ask our team for the latest validation report — we'd rather show you than have you take our word for it.

Question 5

What do I need on-site to install a cabinet?

Accepted Answer

A standard power outlet, a cellular or Wi-Fi signal, and roughly [TBD: dimensions] of floor space. Most deployments are operational the same day — no build-out, no renovation, no staff training.

Question 6

Is the payment system compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Payment terminals are EMV and contactless (Apple Pay / Google Pay) and the payment flow is PCI-DSS compliant — so you pass your processor's audit the first time.

Question 7

Are the cabinets certified for the U.S. market?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and we know this is the part that keeps procurement teams up at night, so let's make it painless. The cabinets are UL-certified [TBD: certification number] and FCC-compliant [TBD]. Documentation ships with your quote — no chasing anyone for paperwork, and no surprises at audit time.

Question 8

How many cabinets can one operator manage?

Accepted Answer

That's the point of the platform: one operator can manage dozens of cabinets from a single dashboard, with route optimization based on real-time stock data rather than fixed schedules.

Question 9

What happens if a machine goes down?

Accepted Answer

First, the reassuring part: you'll know before your customers do. The platform sends instant fault, temperature, and door alerts, and support SLAs are [TBD: response time]. Remote diagnostics resolve many issues without a site visit — and your Success Manager keeps you in the loop until it's sorted.

Question 10

How do I get pricing?

Accepted Answer

Use the Request a Quote form and tell us your location type and expected volume. Our team responds within [TBD: hours/days] with configuration options and volume pricing for fleets.

Question 11

Do you work with small operators or first-time buyers?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. One unit is our minimum order — same platform, same dashboard, same support whether you run one location or one hundred.

Question 12

What support do first-time operators get?

Accepted Answer

New operators get our Beginner's Playbook — products, pricing, and stocking your first cabinet — plus guided onboarding and a dedicated support contact. First-time buyers get fleet-level service.

Question 13

What ongoing support do you provide after deployment?

Accepted Answer

Deployment is the starting line, not the finish. Every cabinet is backed by a dedicated Success Manager, structured onboarding and training for your team, growth consulting on products, pricing, and placement, and lifecycle care — software updates, maintenance guidance, and restock planning. Your growth is our business model: we succeed when your cabinets keep selling.
