If you run a warehouse, distribution centre or manufacturing plant, you already know the problem: 150 people on a night shift, a break room with a microwave and a kettle, and the nearest open store a 15-minute drive away. Vending solves it — but only when the machines are built for the volume and the operator keeps up. Here is how we approach industrial sites across Canada, and how to get machines installed at no cost.
Why industrial sites are different
- Volume. A 200-person plant on two or three shifts can empty a standard snack machine in two days. Industrial sites need high-capacity machines and more frequent restocking.
- Timing. Night and weekend shifts cannot wait for Monday’s route. Telemetry that reports stock in real time is essential, not a bonus.
- Products. Shift workers buy meals and energy, not just chips: sandwiches, wraps, frozen entrées, protein bars, energy drinks, large-format water and coffee at 3 a.m.
- Environment. Dust, forklift traffic and temperature swings are hard on machines. Equipment has to be robust and serviced regularly.
The machines we place at warehouses and plants
- High-capacity snack machines with large spirals for family-size bags and bars.
- Glass-front drink machines holding water, sports drinks, energy drinks, juice and pop — the top sellers on shift work.
- Fresh and frozen food machines with meals that reheat in the break-room microwave, for sites without a cafeteria or with overnight shifts.
- Bean-to-cup coffee machines that replace the burnt drip pot.
- Bottleless water coolers for hydration on the floor.
What it costs the plant
Nothing. We supply new or fully refurbished machines, install them, keep them stocked and clean, and repair them — all at $0. We earn from product sales, which is why high-traffic industrial sites are exactly the locations we want. There is no contract, and multi-site operators (several plants or DCs) can be covered under one program with one point of contact. See what a full-service program includes.
Options your HR or safety team will ask about
- Subsidized or free vend for staff (free water on hot days, dollar meals on nights) — we bill the company the difference.
- Healthy-choice share if your wellness policy requires it.
- Placement on the floor, not just the break room, so workers do not lose their break walking.
- Reporting on sales by product and time of day, useful when planning cafeteria hours or shift schedules.

Frequently asked questions
How many machines does a 300-person plant need?
Typically a snack machine, a drink machine and a fresh-food or coffee machine per main break area, and often a second drink machine on the floor. We size it from headcount and shift pattern.
Do the machines take cards?
Yes. Every machine accepts tap-to-pay, credit, debit, cash and coins.
Do you serve industrial parks outside major cities?
Yes — our route network covers 2,100+ cities and towns, including industrial areas well outside the city core.
