Snacks students actually want—that still pass the rules
Compliance and taste aren't a trade-off. We stock the better-for-you items kids reach for on their own, so the machine moves product and your nutrition policy stays intact.
-
Better-for-you picks kids reach for
Baked chips, trail mix, granola bars, water, and low-sugar drinks—familiar names, not punishment snacks. We track what sells at your school and adjust.
-
Built around Smart Snacks limits
Every in-school item is mapped to USDA calorie, sugar, sodium, and whole-grain standards before it loads. You review and sign off on the list.
-
No artificial colors or flavors
Cleaner labels for the products you put in front of students, with whole-grain-rich and low-sodium choices front and center.
USDA Smart Snacks Compliant
We offer a wide range of products that meet or exceed USDA Smart Snacks in School standards. We make it easy to provide nutritious options that kids actually want to eat.
- Low sugar and low sodium options
- Whole grain rich snacks
- No artificial colors or flavors
How it works for your school or district
Four steps from first call to a stocked machine. You make two decisions—say yes, and approve the product list. We handle the rest, with one point of contact the whole way.
Request a consult
Tell us about your campus—student count, building layout, and any wellness or nutrition policy you have to meet. A single point of contact handles it from there, so you are not chasing four vendors.
We design a compliant planogram
You get a product map built around USDA Smart Snacks rules for the school day, with the right mix for your students and the faculty lounge. You approve every item before anything ships.
Free installation
We deliver, place, and set up the machines at no cost to your school. No equipment purchase, no lease, no install fee—we own the hardware and you keep the floor space useful.
We stock and service it
Restocking, repairs, cashless payment, and remote monitoring are all on us. If a machine goes down, our 24/7 service team handles it. Your staff never has to count coins or call a repair line.
Questions schools ask us
Is it really free for our school?
Yes. There is $0 cost to your business. We provide the machines, install them, stock them, and service them. You give us the floor space and access; we cover the equipment and the labor. There is no purchase, lease, or install fee.
How do you meet USDA Smart Snacks rules?
We build your planogram around the USDA Smart Snacks in School standards—calorie, sugar, sodium, and whole-grain limits that apply during the school day. You approve the product list before launch, and we keep the in-school selection compliant so you stay aligned with your wellness policy.
Is there revenue share for the school?
Commission depends on the location and volume, and we are upfront about it during your consult rather than promising a number that does not fit your campus. For many schools the bigger value is removing the equipment cost and the service headache entirely, with one point of contact handling everything.
Who maintains the machines?
We do—all of it. Restocking, cleaning, cashless payment hardware, and repairs are our responsibility, backed by 24/7 service and support. Your facilities team has nothing to manage and no parts to order.
Do you serve K-12 schools and universities?
Both. We work with K-12 districts that need strict Smart Snacks compliance and with colleges and universities that want broader product variety, 24/7 access for dorms and libraries, and cashless payment. We serve all 50 states, so a multi-site district is no problem.
