-
Do we need to pay to have a machine placed at our company?Not a dime. Healthy Me Vending Machines are provided at absolutely NO cost to your business. In fact, not only do we provide the machine, we service and stock it on a regular basis.
-
Who will be stocking the machine?Healthy Me Vending Staff will monitor, stock and service the machine as often as needed. All our operators are well trained to ensure that the quality of service provided is far superior to anything you may have experienced before with other machines. We are local residents of your community and are therefore eager to share our commitment to offering healthy products to your employees/customers.
-
Can our employees select the products that go into the machine?Yes – your company can be instrumental in the products that are offered. We at Healthy Me Vending believe it is important to provide a good variety of healthy products in order to satisfy everyone. We will initially fill the machine with the most popular healthy products selling in our area. After a few weeks we will meet to discuss any needed changes, and take any suggestions you may have, and may offer some free product sampling events as well.
-
How often will the machine be refilled?Typically, about once a week. Healthy Me Vending machines are equipped with wireless remote monitoring technology so we know if a product selection is running low. If it is determined that it needs to be serviced more often than once each week, we can set up a more frequent service schedule.
-
Is there a limit to the number of machines that can be placed at one location?This depends on several factors. First we need to evaluate the volume of foot traffic on a daily basis. Next, we need to consider if there is competition from other vending machines located in your business if you have any. If these two factors confirm there’s enough demand for an additional machine, Healthy Me Vending will be more than happy to supply one to your business. Some locations such as large schools, businesses, colleges, etc. have enough demand for multiple machines.
-
What kind of healthy products will be in the machines?The healthy products Healthy Me Vending provide are all national name brand items. These are the same products you can find on the shelves of your local health food grocers such as Whole Foods, Trader Joes, etc. Many of these healthier products are now going mainstream and can be found on the shelves of traditional grocery stores and even convenience stores. Not only do the products we offer provide healthier alternatives, but they also taste great and people really love eating them!
-
If we have a contract with another vendor, can we still receive a healthy vending machine?"This depends on the specific contract. Many contracts are exclusive only to “traditional” vending products (e.g. Snickers, Coke, etc.). Therefore, this doesn’t cause an issue as we at Healthy Me Vending can create menu plans of non-competing items to those in a different machine. The reality is that many vending companies claim they can provide healthier options, but very few do.
-
Is there any paperwork involved with obtaining a machine?We ask that you sign a basic agreement that outlines the relationship between your location and Healthy Me Vending – just so everyone is comfortable. This contract has no time commitment. It basically states that we will be responsible for keeping the machine stocked and maintained.
