Closely linked to the vending machine industry, our micro market hubs are completely custom designed and tailored to suit your needs, requirements, space and budget.

Available to businesses in Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and across the East Midlands, they operate in locations that require an unassisted payment experience, allowing employees to purchase fresh food, snacks, drinks and fresh bean to cup coffee using a self-serve checkout.

What is a micro market?

A Micro Market is an alternative canteen area that is traditionally unattended and provides easy access for employees and visitors to select from a range of pre-stocked food and drink. Micro Markets almost function as a convenience store within your workplace.

Options can include, but are not limited to:

  • A quality fresh food service
  • A premium commercial coffee facility

We’re likely to spend over 84,000 hours of our lifetime at work and employers are recognising the benefits of creating a separate space, away from the main office that allows for staff to let off steam which can lead to an uptick in productivity levels, among other lifestyle benefits.

Unmissable Micro Market Features

Micro Markets are more than just a space to grab a snack. They’re tailored, bespoke break-out areas designed to be an extension of your brand and its culture.

Fresh Food & Drinks

Your Micro Market can be stocked with a wide selection of fresh meals, snacks and drinks. All tailored to suit your workforce, as well as any dietary preferences, and of course, refreshed regularly.

Built for Connection

Your Micro Market not only delivers fresh food, it looks great too! Gone are the days of uninspiring canteens and kitchen. Create a space that’s designed to not only connect your staff, but help improve wellness and have a positive impact upon the rest of their working day.

Seamless Payments

Micro Markets can be installed with contactless technology, enabling staff to avoid having to handle money but they can check out within minutes of purchasing their items. They can also integrate mobile payments via our app, which provides rewards with every purchase.

Employee Rewards

Our Micro Markets can also be integrated with our dedicated mobile app, which presents unmissable benefits to all staff. Simply pay, collect rewards, and enjoy exclusive offers with every purchase.

400+ Food Options

That’s not all, we know how important it is to ensure everybody’s needs are met, which is why our Micro Markets can supply over 400 different food items and can be tailored to meet a variety of dietary requirements including vegan.

Secure, 24/7

Our micro market vending solution includes CCTV within the retail space, so that the hub is able to stay open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This means that whether employees are working shifts, doing overtime, starting early or finishing late, they know they’ll be able to sustain themselves and refuel at a time that fits in with their working day.

Why modern workplaces are investing in micro markets

As mentioned, employee culture and wellness are a growing trend among businesses who want to create a culture that’s more than just the usual 9-5.

We’re likely to spend over 84,000 hours of our lifetime at work and employers are recognising the benefits of creating a separate space, away from the main office that allows for staff to let off steam which can lead to an uptick in productivity levels, among other lifestyle benefits.

Healthy food in the workplace has always suffered. Traditional vending machines and canteen spaces may offer quick snacks or lunches with little nutritional benefit, and in some cases are leading to further complications when it comes to employee’s personal health. Although, that’s not to say there aren’t healthy options available, as more healthy snack vending machines become widely available.

With many studies identifying these health issues among the workplace, Micro Markets present an opportunity for businesses to help employees make better food choices as well as allowing them the quality time to step away from their desks.
