School districts
Every item screened against Smart Snacks before it is loaded, with a compliance sheet for each building. Your food service director gets the product list in a format they can hand to a state reviewer.
Vending that already passes your wellness policy.
We stock machines for school districts, gyms and clinics across Oregon and south west Washington. Every school item meets federal Smart Snacks limits before it ever reaches a shelf.

Three programs, one truck
The machines look similar. What goes in them, and what we are allowed to put in them, does not.
Gyms and rec centers
Protein, electrolytes and cold brew, with card readers only because almost nobody carries cash into a workout. Members tell us what they want and we swap it in.
Clinics and offices
Waiting rooms, staff lounges and night shifts. Real food that holds up in a machine, plus the option of a subsidised staff price you set.
Nutrition data on every shelf tag
Calories, sugar, protein and sodium print on the tag next to the selection number, not just on the back of the wrapper. Parents ask about this constantly and it is easier to just show them.
The same figures are on our product page, so a district can review the whole lineup before signing anything.

What tends to go wrong, and what we do instead
Most districts we take over from had the same three problems.
Compliance by promise
The last operator said everything was compliant and nobody checked. We send a signed product list every semester with the standard each item is measured against.
Machines off during lunch
Federal rules stop competitive sales during meal service. Our machines lock themselves on your bell schedule, so nobody has to remember to flip a switch.
Healthy but unsold
Compliant food nobody eats earns the school nothing. We review sales every quarter and pull anything that is not moving, which is the only reason our lineup keeps changing.
What sites say
Collected at the end of the first full year on service.
The compliance sheet alone was worth switching for. Our previous vendor sent a spreadsheet with no serving sizes on it.
Members had been asking for a cold brew and a decent protein bar for two years. Took Fieldhouse about three weeks.
Our night staff finish at two in the morning. Having actual food rather than crisps has made a difference we did not expect.
Send us your wellness policy
We will read it and come back with a product list built to it, plus what the machines would earn your site. No cost, and nothing to sign to see it.
