micro markets

Custom-designed micro markets that bring
convenience store variety directly to your workplace.

What are micro markets?

Micro markets are a modern alternative to traditional vending machines, giving employees access to fresh meals, snacks, beverages, and healthy options through a convenient self-service experience. Unlike traditional vending, micro markets combine open shelving, refrigerated displays, and a self-checkout kiosk to create an on-site workplace convenience store.

Designed for offices, warehouses, healthcare facilities, schools, hotels, and multifamily communities, micro markets provide 24/7 access to refreshments while requiring minimal oversight from employers. One Source Refreshment designs and manages custom micro market vending solutions throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.

Why businesses choose
micro markets

Businesses choose micro markets because they offer more product variety, fresh food options, and a more engaging experience than traditional vending. By combining the convenience of self-service shopping with modern technology, micro markets help create a breakroom employees want to use.

With One Source, every market is custom designed for your business and professionally managed by our local team. Employees enjoy more choices, while employers benefit from a fully managed micro market vending program that requires little day-to-day oversight. Open product displays, cashless payments, and real-time inventory monitoring create a better breakroom experience that supports employee satisfaction and workplace productivity.

Self-Checkout Kiosk and Cashless
vending machine technology

A self-checkout kiosk makes it easy for employees to browse products, scan purchases, and pay using credit cards, mobile wallets, and contactless payment methods. Similar to a cashless vending machine, micro market technology eliminates the need for cash while creating a faster, more convenient refreshment experience.

By streamlining transactions and supporting secure inventory tracking, self-checkout technology helps businesses deliver a modern breakroom experience that employees appreciate.

micro markets vs
SMART VENDING MACHINES

Both micro markets and smart vending machines offer modern alternatives to traditional vending, providing convenient access to fresh food, snacks, and beverages.

Micro markets use open shelving, coolers, and a self-checkout kiosk to create a workplace convenience store experience. Smart vending machines and smart coolers offer a similar grab-and-go experience in a smaller footprint.

Both solutions support cashless payments, fresh food offerings, and 24/7 convenience. The best fit depends on your available space, employee population, and refreshment goals.
