HOW IT WORKS: A SIMPLE, LOW-LIFT PATH TO BETTER VENDING
Most facilities don’t stick with outdated vending because they want to. They stick with it because changing providers feels like a hassle: contracts, coordination, and one more operational task in a packed season.
You’re not wrong — switching can feel awkward on the front end.
But the part most leaders fear is rarely the part that takes effort. And the rest, we make straightforward and supported.
Here’s what it actually looks like to bring Perry’s Pantry into your space.
Step 1: A Quick Conversation to Learn About Your Space
We start with a short call or visit to understand your facility, your community, and what “better vending” means for your environment.
We’ll talk through:
who uses your space (families, students, staff, patients)
average daily visitors
peak hours and flow
any current vending frustrations or gaps
This is a fit check for both sides.
Step 2: On-Site Review & Personalized Plan
If it feels like a match, we’ll walk the space with you to look at:
best placement for visibility and ease of use
electrical and access needs
your goals for nutrition, experience, and member/visitor support
From there, we recommend a machine configuration tailored to your space and access.
Step 3: Delivery & Installation (We Handle the Heavy Lifting)
Your machine setup typically arrives within 2–8 weeks, depending on your configuration.
What we handle:
coordinating freight delivery
accepting the machine on arrival
installation and full setup
ensuring everything is operational and ready to serve
inventory
What your team handles:
letting us in the building
That’s it.
Step 4: Launch & Stocking
We stock everything for you — thoughtfully curated to your community, with a balance of nutritious options and fun picks that keep engagement high.
We also provide:
signage + how-to use info
QR code for walk-through video (if Smart Store)
soft launch support if needed
Step 5: Ongoing Service & Inventory Management
Your service schedule is based on product mix and volume, monitored through our real-time inventory tracking.
What this means for you:
no empty shelves
no unclear restocking schedule
no guessing whether the machine is being maintained
We show up before issues show up.
Step 6: Maintenance & Support
If anything needs attention, you (and your customers) have direct contact for quick resolution of:
refunds
technical issues
product requests
We keep things running smoothly — and if something needs us, we’re easy to reach.
A Note About Existing Contracts
If you’re currently with another provider, you’re not alone — most places are. And yes, that part can feel uncomfortable to navigate.
We don’t insert ourselves into your vendor relationship, but we can share what we’ve seen others do, what to look for in your agreement, and a few simple questions that help clarify timing.
There’s no rush or pressure. You can explore, ask questions, and consider a future transition on your timeline.
When You’re Ready
You don’t have to map this out alone, and there’s no commitment required to start the conversation.
When the time is right, we’re here to make the switch simple, supported, and genuinely worth it for the people you serve.
If you’re curious how this could look in your space, we’re happy to talk through possibilities — no pressure.
