Gyms, clinics and offices
Away from schools the rules come off, which means the lineup is decided by whoever is standing in front of the machine at nine at night.

Gyms and rec centers
The busiest hour in a gym machine is between eight and ten at night, long after any staff member has gone home. That shapes everything: card readers only, nothing that needs a fridge door held open, and a shelf that is roughly half protein.
We survey members directly at the three month mark rather than guessing. It is a two question card at the front desk and it changes the lineup more than any sales report does.
- Card and phone payment only, no coin mechanism to jam
- Protein bars, shakes and jerky as the core of the shelf
- Zero sugar electrolyte and sparkling water on the drink side
- Cold brew, which is the single most requested item we get
- Member survey at three months, then every six

What clinics ask for that nobody else does
- Real food after hoursWraps and egg bites for staff finishing at 2am
- Low sodium optionsFlagged on the tag for cardiac and renal units
- Subsidised staff pricingYou set a lower price for badge holders
- Waiting room separationA gentler lineup out front, a fuller one in the staff lounge
- Quiet machinesCompressor noise matters near patient areas
Clinics and hospitals
Two different audiences in one building. The waiting room wants something to hand a child at four in the afternoon. The staff lounge wants a proper meal at two in the morning, because the cafeteria closed at eight.
We usually run two lineups in the same building, and we can split the pricing so badge holders pay less than visitors. You set that number, we program it, and the difference comes off your quarterly statement.
Offices
The smallest part of what we do and the easiest to get right. Coffee first, cold drinks second, and an afternoon snack peak between two and four that is bigger than most offices expect.
If you would rather your team paid nothing, we can run it as a pantry instead: you set a monthly ceiling, we stock to it, and we tell you when you are at eighty percent rather than quietly going over.
What changes between them
Same trucks, same drivers, different shelves.
| Gyms and rec | Clinics | Offices | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Busiest hours | 8pm to 10pm | Overnight | 2pm to 4pm |
| Cash accepted | No | Yes | Yes |
| Protein share of shelf | About half | About a third | About a fifth |
| Fresh food | Rarely worth it | Almost always | Depends on headcount |
| Two price levels | No | Yes, badge holders | Yes, or full pantry |
| Restock | Weekly or twice | Twice weekly | Weekly |
| Smallest site we take | 250 members | 40 staff | 35 people |
The same rules we apply to ourselves
No federal standard applies outside schools. We hold a floor anyway, because it is the reason sites call us rather than a general operator.
Sixty percent under 200 calories
At least six in ten snack selections in any machine we place, whatever the site. It is a floor, not a ceiling, and plenty of sites go further.
Half the drink shelf zero sugar
Water, sparkling water, unsweetened tea and zero sugar options take at least half the drink columns before anything else gets a slot.
Nutrition on every tag
Calories, sugar, protein and sodium next to the selection number. Not a marketing decision, just easier than answering the question forty times.

Headcount, opening hours and whether anyone is there overnight. That is enough for us to say what we would put in and what it would take.
