What we look at during a Palo Alto site walk
Placement
Where the machine sits relative to where people already stop. Break rooms, lobbies, and shift entrances outperform back corridors every time.
Power and clearance
A standard grounded 110V outlet within reach, plus enough clearance for delivery and ventilation.
Access windows
When our route team can restock without interrupting your operation, including badge or gate access if needed.
Product fit
Who is buying and when. Second-shift crews and daytime office staff need very different mixes.
Palo Alto placement questions
- What does a vending machine cost a business in Palo Alto?
- Nothing. There is no purchase price, lease, deposit, or monthly fee for Palo Alto businesses. We own the equipment and earn from product sales, so our incentive is to keep it stocked with what your people actually buy.
- How much traffic does my Palo Alto location need?
- Around 40 or more people on site on a typical day is the usual bar. Locations in Stanford Research Park and similar areas with extended hours, shift work, or limited nearby food options often qualify with less.
- How soon can you install in Palo Alto?
- We are on route in Palo Alto regularly, so most installations happen within 7 to 14 days of approval, including the site walk.
- Who restocks the machine in Palo Alto?
- Our route team. Visits are scheduled around your operating hours and adjusted based on sales volume, and remote monitoring flags low stock between visits.
- What kind of space and power does the machine need?
- About 40 inches of wall width, a few feet of clearance in front, and a standard 110V grounded outlet on a circuit that is not already loaded. Break rooms, lobbies, and hallway alcoves in Palo Alto buildings almost always work.
- Can we choose the products stocked at our Palo Alto location?
- Yes. You tell us what your people want and what you would rather not see in the machine, and we adjust the planogram after the first few restocks based on what actually sells on site.
- What happens if the machine does not perform in Palo Alto?
- We adjust the product mix and pricing first. If the location still does not support the machine, we remove it at our expense with no cost or penalty to your business.
- Do you serve areas outside central Palo Alto?
- Yes. Our routes cover Stanford Research Park, University Avenue, Embarcadero corridor and the surrounding business corridors, so most addresses in and around Palo Alto are serviceable.
