What can you do with Cantaloupe Go?
Micro markets are unstaffed, self-service retail spaces that provide food and drink options in unexpected locations. Instead of an employee at a register, micro markets have a self-checkout kiosk for customers to “grab, pay and go.” They’re popping up in break rooms, lobbies and other locations where people are looking for easy food options — often as a replacement for a vending machine.
The estimated cost of a micro market can vary based on the size of the market and how many customers you expect to serve. We encourage you to talk to a Cantaloupe representative, who can help you come up with a more accurate estimate.
Each Cantaloupe Go micro market is customised to the space it occupies and your sales rep has reference photos of markets created by other Cantaloupe customers to give you an idea of the finished product. Additionally, our team can create a mock-up of your future market based on space dimensions and photos of the intended location.
There are several aspects of your market that can be customised. Not only can we help you create custom signage and fixture headers to represent your brand or your clients’ brand, but you can also customise your kiosk screens in the Cantaloupe Go web dashboard.
If you’re ready to set up a new micro market, connect with a Cantaloupe sales rep to plan your market and place your order.
Our self-service kiosks for micro markets fully integrate with many vending management systems, including Vendmanager.
Ask your Cantaloupe rep for more details about our monthly fee structure for markets.
Opening a micro market business is smart because it costs less, offers more products than vending machines, and can be open all day. They’re easy to set up, fit in many places, and follow trends with contactless shopping and loyalty programs.
In a pre-Brexit world, large-scale organisations in the UK and in Europe historically operated onsite canteen facilities with lunch and snack options which provided employees with a fuller working experience. But micro markets are contributing to a culture change.
Micro markets are ideal for busy areas like universities, hospitals, and hotels. They require minimal space, cater to small crowds, use smart technology for convenient shopping, and with proper security, can expand to public places like airports.
