What property teams are dealing with.
Residents want quick on-site access to drinks, snacks, and small essentials, especially late at night, on weekends, and in bad weather. Most communities offer nothing, an old vending machine, or a coffee bar nobody keeps stocked.
That gap shows up on tours, in resident reviews, and in the front-office inbox every week. Property teams want a real amenity without taking on another project.
A self-serve setup, fully coordinated.
We place a smart cooler or compact micro market in the right spot for your building and run it for you. Residents tap a card or phone, take what they want, and the system charges them automatically. No staff, no cash, no app.
RevoMart owns the day-to-day work: equipment, the curated product mix, restocking, cleaning, payment technology, and maintenance. Your team approves placement and gives us building access. That is the full lift on your side.
Configurations we deploy.
Every recommendation comes from a short on-site assessment, we never force a format into a space that doesn't suit it.
One glass-front cooler in a high-traffic spot. Roughly 3 feet of wall space, plugs into a standard outlet. Works in almost any community.
Open shelving plus coolers and a self-checkout kiosk. A real convenience-store feel for Class-A and high-traffic communities.
Coordinated coolers and markets across multiple buildings or properties under one RevoMart relationship.
Stocked for who actually uses it.
We tune the assortment to your audience and refine it during the pilot based on what actually moves.
- Cold drinks, sparkling water, and energy
- Snacks, chips, jerky, and sweets
- Better-for-you and protein options
- Fresh grab-and-go meals (where the format fits)
- Pantry basics, coffee, milk, eggs
- Personal care quick-grabs
Real benefits, no operational lift.
- A real amenity residents notice
Something concrete to point at on tours instead of a feature buried in a brochure.
- Premium feel, zero staffing
Open 24/7 with no part-time hires, no cafe hours, and no inventory work for your team.
- Helps reviews and retention
On-site convenience consistently shows up in resident reviews, especially for late-night and bad-weather moments.
- Built for multifamily realities
Compact footprint, cashless checkout, modern presentation. Fits Class-A, mid-market, senior living, and affordable housing.
A short list, that's it.
- Floor or wall space (a smart cooler fits in about 3 feet)
- A standard 120V wall outlet within reach
- Written approval to install on the property
- Building access so our team can restock and service the unit
A simple, low-risk start.
- 1Site walk and approval
We visit the property, confirm the placement, and lock in the format (smart cooler, micro market, or both).
- 2Install and stock
We bring the equipment, plug it in, set up the cashless checkout, and stock it with a starting product mix tuned to your residents.
- 3Run and refine for 60-90 days
Residents use it 24/7. We monitor inventory, restock on a regular cadence, and adjust the mix based on what actually sells.
- 4Review together
At the end of the pilot we review usage and revenue with you and decide whether to continue, expand, or wrap up. No long-term commitment to start.
Common questions
What is a smart cooler or micro market in an apartment building?
It is a self-serve, on-site convenience setup for residents. A smart cooler is a single glass-front fridge with cashless checkout built into the door. A micro market is an open shelf-and-cooler layout with a self-checkout kiosk. Both run 24/7 and are unattended.
Where does it usually go?
Lobbies, mailrooms, clubrooms, and amenity floors. We confirm the right spot during a short site assessment based on resident traffic and what space you have available.
What does the property need to provide?
Floor or wall space, a standard 120V outlet, written approval to install, and reasonable building access for our team to restock and service the unit. That is it.
Is there an upfront cost?
For qualifying sites we cover equipment and setup as part of a 60-90 day pilot. After the pilot we review real usage together and decide on long-term terms.
How is this different from a vending machine?
It looks like a small store, not a vending bank. Real product on display, fresh and refrigerated items, tap-to-pay checkout, and no coin slots or jammed coils. It shows well on resident tours.
