Free vending machines for your business

Smart grab-and-go cooler vending machine with a glass door in an office lobby

Smart grab-and-go coolers

Best for modern offices, apartment lobbies, hotels and 24-hour facilities

The newest kind of vending machine, and the easiest to use. Tap a card or phone, the glass door unlocks, and you take what you want. Sensors inside the cooler track what left the shelf and charge you only for that. No buttons, no spirals, nothing to get stuck.

Because it's a true cooler with open shelves, it can hold things a traditional machine can't: sandwiches, salads, yogurt and fruit cups alongside the usual cold drinks and snacks. It's the option we recommend for locations that want a small-market feel without the staff.

  • About 3 feet wide, plugs into a standard outlet
  • Pays by card, phone tap or mobile wallet
  • Fits offices, coworking spaces, apartment and condo lobbies, hotels, medical offices, and warehouses with night shifts
Combination snack and drink vending machine in a small office break area

Combination snack and drink machines

Best for break rooms, small offices, auto shops and anywhere floor space is tight

Snacks on top, cold drinks below, one footprint. A combo machine gives a smaller location the full HappyDrop lineup, chips, candy, protein bars, sodas, water and energy drinks, without needing room for two machines.

If you've been looking for a free vending machine for your business but only have a corner to spare, this is usually the answer. It fits where a single traditional machine would, and we stock it based on what your people actually buy.

  • About 3 feet wide and 6 feet tall, standard outlet
  • Pays by card, phone tap or cash
  • Right for 25 to 100 people a day: small and mid-size offices, auto shops and dealerships, laundromats, medical and dental offices, churches, car washes
Full-size snack vending machine next to a glass-front drink vending machine in a hallway

Side-by-side snack and drink machines

Best for high-volume locations: plants, warehouses, schools and large apartment communities

A full-size snack machine next to a dedicated glass-front drink machine. This is the classic setup for a reason: the most selection, the most capacity, and the fewest sold-out rows between restocks.

For locations with 100 or more people coming through each day, two machines keep up where one can't. The drink machine carries the full lineup, Coke and Pepsi products, water, Gatorade, energy drinks and iced tea, and the snack machine has room for the old favorites plus a healthier row.

  • About 6 to 7 feet wide total, two standard outlets
  • Pays by card, phone tap or cash
  • Built for 100+ people a day: manufacturing plants, warehouses and distribution centers, schools and staff lounges, large apartment communities, gyms, hospitals and clinics

Which one fits your location?

Not sure? Tell us about your space on the request form and we'll recommend one. Our vending services include delivery, installation, stocking, cleaning, repairs and refunds, so the only thing you provide is the outlet and the floor space.

Looking for something special?

Not every location fits a standard machine, and that's fine. We can source custom and specialty vending solutions: machines wrapped in your branding, coffee and hot drink machines, frozen treats and ice cream, fresh-food micro markets, and supply or PPE vending for workplaces. If you have a vending need that isn't covered above, tell us what you're after and we'll find the right setup.

Frequently asked questions

Cost and agreements

What does it cost?

Not a dime. We own the machines, stock them and service them. All we need is a standard outlet, and every new location gets an ENERGY STAR certified machine to keep power use to a minimum. Some higher-traffic locations even earn a commission on sales. Ask us and we’ll let you know if yours qualifies.

Is there a contract?

Simple and flexible. Most locations sign a straightforward one-page agreement confirming that we own the machine. Terms can vary by location, and we’ll walk you through yours before anything is signed. No surprises, guaranteed.

Do we earn anything from the machine?

At higher-traffic locations, yes: a percentage of sales, paid monthly. At smaller locations the machine is a perk for your people rather than a revenue line.

Service

How often do you restock?

As often as it takes. Our machines report sales and inventory to us remotely, so we know what’s running low before you do. Busy spot? We’ll be there more often to keep every row full.

What if the machine takes someone's money?

Our local team takes care of it. Every HappyDrop machine has our phone number right on the front, so customers can call or text a real person right here in North Carolina. Card refunds go straight back to the card, and cash refunds are sent through Cash App or Venmo.

What happens if the machine breaks?

Our local team fixes it fast. We service every machine ourselves, so repairs get done quickly. No waiting on outside techs, no back-and-forth.

The machines

Can we choose what goes in it?

We start with a selection that works well for most locations, then adjust based on what your people buy and request. Want more protein bars, a specific energy drink, or a healthier row? Just let us know.

How do people pay?

Tap a card or phone, or pay with cash. Every machine we place accepts card and mobile payments.

How much space and power do you need?

Less than you’d think. Most machines take up about 3 feet wide by 3 feet deep and stand around 6 feet tall, with a standard outlet nearby. We have other sizes to fit tighter or bigger spaces, and covered outdoor areas can work too. Not sure about your spot? We’ll take a look and find the right fit.

We already have a machine nobody services. Can you replace it?

We can usually swap it out. Just tell us who owns it and we’ll handle the transition from there. In fact, this is how a lot of our locations got started with HappyDrop.

Service area

Where do you serve?

Franklin County and the surrounding area: Louisburg, Youngsville, Wake Forest, Franklinton, Bunn, Zebulon, Rolesville, Oxford and Henderson. If you're a little outside that, ask; we may still be able to help.

Who we are

They bring hard work, professionalism and attention to detail to every machine they run, from a spotless display to a perfectly filled row. When you work with HappyDrop, you’re working with neighbors who take pride in doing things right.
