What we vend

One machine. Four reasons to walk over.

The same tower runs any mix of these. We start with what fits your room and change it based on what actually sells.

Most requested

Vapes & nicotine

The reason people step outside and don't always come back. Sealed, current-brand disposables and pouches, verified 21+ at the screen, cashless and locked.

  • Age verified on the device, every sale
  • No cash box, no drawer to reconcile
  • Your team never handles a purchase

Trading cards

Pokémon and sealed TCG product. It sounds like a novelty until you watch a table of thirty-somethings open packs for an hour and keep ordering.

  • Genuine sealed product only
  • New releases rotated in
  • Long dwell time, high repeat

Mystery boxes

Fixed price, unknown contents, immediate payoff. The most social thing in the machine, because nobody opens one alone.

  • Price points that suit a bar tab
  • Built for groups and dares
  • Contents themed to your venue

Late-night essentials

The things your bartender currently gets asked for and has to say no to. Phone cables, hangover kits, mints, hair ties, basics.

  • Stops the ask at the bar entirely
  • Low-cost, high-frequency
  • Stocked to what your room asks for

Not sure which mix? We start with the two that fit your crowd, watch a month of real sales, and change it. That's included.

How it works

Three steps. We do the heavy lifting.

01

We install

We deliver and set the machine where you point. It rolls in on locking casters and runs on cellular, so no WiFi, no IT, nothing near your POS. Under an hour, start to finish.

02

We run it

Stocking, restocking, payments, refunds, service calls. Remote monitoring tells us what sold before you'd notice a gap. Completely hands-off for you.

03

We tune it

A month in we know what your room buys. We change the mix, add the sellers, cut the dead slots, and keep doing that. Same machine, better numbers.

Why host with Bar Vends

All upside. No headache.

A guest who walks out to a gas station is a guest who might not walk back in. Keeping that trip inside your four walls protects the tab they already have open.

Zero cost

Nothing to buy, nothing to rent, nothing to maintain. We cover the machine, the product, the permits and every hour of labour.

Fully cashless

Card, tap, Apple Pay, Google Pay. No cash in the box, nothing for anyone to go after, nothing to count at close.

Tabs stay open

Nobody leaves mid-night for a corner-store run. They stay, and the round they were going to skip gets ordered.

It's our licence, not yours

Everything that has to be held, filed or renewed sits with us, under our name. Your venue isn't the applicant on anything.

Small footprint

Four square feet against a wall near an outlet. A corner, a hallway, the patio door. It doesn't take a table's worth of room.

One point of contact

A direct line to the people who actually run the route, not a ticket queue. One venue or thirty, same number.

The machine

Looks like it belongs. Runs like it isn't there.

  • Lit 43-inch touchscreen that sells the product on its own
  • Wrapped in your venue's artwork at no charge
  • Tap-to-pay everything: cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay
  • Runs on cellular — nothing touches your WiFi or POS
  • Age verification on the device for anything that needs it
  • Locking casters, so it moves for a private event and comes back

Venues that admit under-21 guests at any hour work too — we just change what goes in the machine.

For hospitality groups

Built to roll out room by room.

If you operate more than one venue, the program is the same, it just scales. Start with a pilot, review the numbers, expand where it works.

Start with a pilot

Three to five venues, sixty days, nothing to buy and nothing to sign beyond the placement agreement. You review real sales before anyone talks about expanding.

Per-venue reporting

Every machine reports its own sales. You see per-location numbers monthly, verifiable against the machine's own reports.

No IT, no wiring, no cash

Each unit is a cashless tower on cellular. Nothing touches your network or your POS. Your staff never handles product, money or service calls.

A different mix per room

A college bar and a cocktail lounge don't sell the same things. Each machine gets stocked for the room it's standing in.

We own the capital

We buy, wrap, install, stock, insure and service every unit. No equipment cost, no inventory risk and no labour on your side.

Insured, with you named

We carry general liability and provide a certificate naming your company as additional insured before the first machine ships.

FAQ

Good questions, straight answers.

What does it cost me?

Nothing. No purchase, no rental, no maintenance, no minimum. We provide the machine, the product and all the labour. You provide about four square feet and an outlet.

Who picks what goes in it?

We do, and then your customers do. We start with the mix that fits your room, watch a month of real sales, and change it. If something dies in the machine it comes out.

Do my staff have to do anything?

No. Stocking, restocking, repairs, payments and refunds are ours. Your only job is telling us where it goes.

How much space does it need?

Roughly four square feet against a wall near a standard outlet. It rolls in on locking casters and the install takes under an hour.

Does it need my WiFi?

No. The machine runs on its own cellular connection. Nothing touches your network, your POS or your card processing.

Can it be wrapped with our branding?

Yes, at no charge. Send us your artwork and the machine shows up wearing it.

What about the age-restricted products?

Anything age-restricted is verified on the device at the moment of sale, and the permits sit with us under our name. Your venue isn't the applicant on anything.

What if it doesn't work out?

Hosting is month-to-month. If it's not a fit we come take it out. No strings.
