Sleek, compact, and perfect for tighter spaces. The Vertical fits boutique amenity rooms, lobbies, and hallways without dominating the space. Big AI, small footprint.
The signature amenity. Designed for premium apartment communities and mid-size corporate campuses where residents expect more than a coffee maker in the lobby. This is the one people talk about.
For properties that want more. The Plus brings increased capacity, a taller profile, and a wider product range โ perfect for larger communities that want the full market experience.
The flagship. Custom-sized, enterprise-level, full market experience built to fit your exact space and serve your entire community. Built for large-scale, high-demand environments where a machine just won't cut it.
For locations that prefer a cash option or need a supplemental unit alongside a Smart Market. Modern, reliable, restocked and maintained entirely by us โ zero cost to you.
We work with property managers, building owners, and business leaders who understand that great amenities aren't a nice-to-have โ they're a competitive advantage. Ideal locations have 125+ residents or employees on-site daily.
