Find Me Vending: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
For Businesses
1. What is Find Me Vending?
Find Me Vending is a free, nationwide matchmaking service that connects businesses with verified local vending operators. We help offices, schools, gyms, and apartment complexes get high-quality vending machines or micro-markets installed — completely free of charge.
2. How does Find Me Vending work for businesses?
Simply submit a request through our Request a Machine form. We’ll match your business with a local, trusted vending operator who can provide the right type of machine for your space — snack, drink, coffee, combo, or micro-market. Once matched, your selected operator will handle the installation, stocking, and ongoing service.
3. Does it cost my business anything to get a vending machine?
No, it’s completely free for businesses. Operators cover the cost of the machine, installation, and maintenance in exchange for the opportunity to service your location.
4. How long does it take to get a vending machine installed?
Installation timelines vary by location and operator availability, but most businesses are matched within 1–3 weeks and can have machines installed shortly after coordination.
5. Who services and restocks the vending machines?
Your assigned local vending operator handles all restocking, cleaning, and maintenance — ensuring your machine stays stocked, functional, and reliable.
6. What is a micro-market?
A micro-market is an upgraded self-checkout vending area that offers a wider range of snacks, drinks, and fresh food. It’s perfect for larger workplaces or facilities with 100+ employees and provides a more convenient, cashless shopping experience.
7. Can I request healthy or custom snack options?
Yes! Many of our verified operators offer customized product selections — from healthy snacks and low-sugar drinks to coffee or fresh food options. You can discuss preferences directly with your matched operator.
For Operators

Small Location – $500

You can sign up on our Operator Sign-Up page. We’ll review your experience, service area, and machine types to ensure you’re a fit for our network.
5. What kind of leads will I receive?
Only qualified, high-intent business leads, meaning the business has already requested a vending machine or micro-market and is ready to move forward once matched.

We currently serve businesses and operators nationwide across the United States and are continually expanding our verified operator network.
7. How do payments and communication work?
