We Are Based in Jacksonville
Canteen is a national provider. We are a local Jacksonville vending company, and we pride ourselves on it. Our team owns and stocks the snack vending machines, drink vending machines, AI vending machines, and micro-markets we install here.
After install, we refill sold-out drinks and snacks, remove expired products, and clean the vending machines. Employees and visitors pay for the products they buy, and office coffee is billed as coffee service.
Qualifying workplaces in Cecil Commerce Center, Imeson, the airport area, Downtown, and Southside can receive free vending machine placement: equipment, installation, stocking, and service with no upfront equipment cost.

Where a Local Vending Company Fits
Larger staff rooms can support a micro-market. Smaller sites use vending machines or coffee. Too few people, no indoor power, or no way to restock would not qualify.
Plants
Indoor staff rooms only. Heat, dust, and safety rule out the production floor.
Plants vendingHospitals
Staff breakrooms and waiting rooms. Not clinical floors.
Hospitals vendingOffices
Coffee, snack vending machines, drink vending machines, AI vending machines, and a micro-market when the breakroom is large enough.

Canteen Alternative FAQs
Is VendSmart affiliated with Canteen?
No. We are a Jacksonville vending company and we are not affiliated with Canteen, Avenue C, or Compass Group.
Who restocks after install?
We do. Our team refills sold-out drinks and snacks, removes expired products, and cleans the vending machines.
Do we have to buy the vending machines?
Qualifying locations do not. Free vending machine placement means equipment, installation, stocking, and service with no upfront equipment cost. Employees pay for what they take. Coffee is billed as coffee service.
Can VendSmart replace an existing vending company?
Yes, when your current agreement allows it. We look at the workplace, then install snack vending machines, drink vending machines, AI vending machines, a micro-market, or coffee, and we take over the stocking and service.
What would not qualify?
The workplace does not have enough people on site, an indoor room with power, or access for restocking. We do not service vending machines you already own.
Does VendSmart repair vending machines?
No. If a vending machine we stock stops working, call us. Do not open or unplug it.
