Micro Market FAQs

Micro markets are unstaffed, self-service retail spaces that provide food and drink options in unexpected locations. Instead of an employee at a register, micro markets have a self-checkout kiosk for customers to “grab, pay, and go.” They’re popping up in break rooms, lobbies, and other locations where people are looking for easy food options — often as a replacement for a vending machine.

The estimated cost of a micro market can vary based on the size of the market and how many customers you expect to serve. We encourage you to talk to a Cantaloupe representative, who can help you come up with a more accurate estimate.

Each micro market is customized to the space it occupies, and your sales rep has reference photos of markets created by other operators to give you an idea of the finished product. Additionally, our team can create a mockup of your future market based on space dimensions and photos of the intended location.

There are several aspects of your market that can be customized. Not only can we help you create custom signage and fixture headers to represent your brand or your clients’ brand, but you can also customize your kiosk screens in the backend dashboard 

If you’re ready to set up a new micro market, connect with a Cantaloupe sales rep to plan your market and place your order. You’ll have the option to build your new market with our installation team or build yourself with support from our Customer Success Team. Once you have your market built out, you’ll onboard with one of our Customer Success Managers and create your first store and warehouse.

Our self-service kiosks for micro markets fully integrate with the Seed platform as well as other vending management systems, including VendMAX and VendSys. Additionally, our kiosks integrate with Lightspeed for warehouse and inventory management.
