Close but not there yet?

If you\u2019re under 50 daily users, we can usually still help \u2014 with a smaller smart cooler, an ambient pantry, or a shared placement across two floors of the same building. Tell us what you\u2019re working with; we\u2019ll be honest about what fits.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the minimum headcount for a no-cost Micromart?

Roughly 50 regular on-site users per day. Below that, unit economics get tight — we’ll usually still propose a smaller smart cooler or ambient pantry with a light service fee if you want the amenity.

Do we need a dedicated room?

No. A wall in a break room, lobby corner, amenity floor, or warehouse hallway is enough. We need roughly 6–12 linear feet with power and a Wi-Fi or Ethernet signal.

What are the power and network requirements?

A standard 120V 20A outlet is sufficient for most cooler + shelf combos. We prefer a wired network drop but a strong 5 GHz Wi-Fi signal in the placement zone works. Cellular fallback is available for warehouses and remote sites.

Does the building need to be open 24/7?

No. Micromart works in any hours pattern — 9–5 offices, 24/7 warehouses, and residential amenity spaces. The AI cooler runs on-demand as users approach.

What disqualifies a site?

Very low daily traffic (< 25 people), outdoor-only placement, no reliable power, or a location where the equipment can’t be reasonably secured overnight.
