Micro-Markets — FAQ
What is a micro-market?
A micro-market is a small, unattended retail space — like a mini convenience store — built into a workplace break room. It uses open shelving, glass-door coolers and freezers, and a self-checkout kiosk, so employees grab what they want and check themselves out in seconds. No cash, no lines, no leaving the building.
How is it different from vending machines?
A micro-market offers hundreds of fresh and packaged items on open shelves instead of a few dozen behind glass. It carries real meals and healthier options, accepts tap/card/mobile payment, and is restocked proactively — not left empty and cash-only.
What does a micro-market cost the employer?
With Canyon Markets, nothing. Equipment, installation, restocking, and maintenance are all free — we earn through product sales. Most markets are live within 14 days.
Is it secure if no one is watching it?
Yes. Self-checkout and security cameras are built in, and our remote monitoring tracks inventory. It runs unattended and self-serve, with no staffing required from you.
