Free Smart Coolers for Niagara & Hamilton Businesses
What is a smart cooler?
A smart cooler is a self-serve fridge stocked with fresh and cold items. It brings a wider range of chilled food and drinks to your location in a clean, modern format.
Smart coolers suit workplaces and buildings that want to offer more than packaged snacks. Our family-owned Beamsville team installs and maintains them for free across the Niagara Region and Hamilton.
How a smart cooler works
Tap your credit or debit card, phone or watch on the reader to unlock the door.
Open the door and take what you want. You can pick items up and put them back before you close it.
Close the door. Sensors in the cooler detect which items you took.
Your card is charged automatically, only for the items you took.
Because the cooler stays locked until someone taps to pay, it can hold fresh and larger items that don't fit a regular vending machine, like salads, sandwiches, wraps, yogurt and meal options, and people can see and choose exactly what they want.
What you can stock
Choose the fresh and cold items your people will love, such as:
- Cold drinks
- Fresh grab-and-go foods
- Dairy and chilled snacks
- Fruit and healthier choices
