How to get a vending machine for your business in NYC.

If you own or manage a building, gym, laundromat, warehouse, or office in New York City, you can have a fully stocked, cashless vending machine installed in your space at no cost — and earn a monthly check from it. Here's exactly how it works.

1. What Spedchka provides

Spedchka is a full-service vending operator. We own the machine, stock it, service it, insure it, and pay you a share of sales. You provide a small floor space and a wall outlet — we handle everything else.

  • Zero upfront cost to you
  • Zero labor — no restocking, cleaning, or repairs
  • Cashless payments (tap, chip, swipe, mobile wallets)
  • 10% of net machine profit deposited monthly
  • Real-time sales dashboard

2. Confirm your location qualifies

Operators look for spaces with steady, captive foot traffic — people who spend more than a few minutes in the building and want a quick snack or drink. The strongest fits in NYC:

Laundromats
Warehouses & distribution centers
Auto repair, tire shops & car washes
Large apartment buildings
Gyms, boxing & martial arts studios
Medical offices & urgent care clinics
Office buildings
Schools, colleges & trade schools
Hotels & motels
Construction yards & contractor shops

3. Check the basic requirements

Before applying, make sure your space has:

  • A wall outlet (standard 110V) within ~6 feet of the install spot
  • A flat, hard floor with roughly 3 ft × 3 ft of clearance
  • Indoor or covered location, climate-controlled
  • Authority to approve the install (owner, GM, or property manager)

4. Understand the economics

With a full-service operator there's no equipment cost, no inventory cost, and no labor cost on your side. You provide the floor space; the operator covers everything else. Spedchka pays hosts 10% of net machine profit, deposited monthly, with real-time reporting.

What "net" means: gross sales from the machine minus product cost, payment processing fees, and servicing (restocking labor, parts, route logistics). No marketing fees, no admin charges, no hidden deductions — every line item is visible in your dashboard.

Actual revenue depends on foot traffic and dwell time. A busy laundromat or 200-unit residential lobby typically generates far more than a small private office.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost the host?

Nothing. Spedchka owns the machine, the inventory, and the insurance. You provide the space and the outlet.

What does 'net machine profit' include?

Gross sales from the machine minus product cost, payment processing fees, and servicing (restocking labor, parts, route logistics). Hosts receive 10% of that figure, deposited monthly. Every line item is itemized in the dashboard.

Do I need to restock or clean it?

No. Our team handles all restocking, cleaning, and service visits on a route schedule.

What if the machine breaks?

We monitor every machine remotely. Service tickets are usually resolved within one business day.

Is it cashless?

Yes — tap-to-pay, chip, swipe, and mobile wallets. No coins, no cash handling on your end.

How long is the contract?

Month-to-month after a brief initial term. Either side can end the arrangement with 30 days' notice.
