About Chicago Vending Express
A marketplace, not a vending company.
We don't own a single vending machine. What we do is connect Chicago businesses to the right local operator from our vetted network — and stay out of the way once the match is made.
How the Model Works
Two-sided problem. One simple bridge.
Most businesses don't know where to start with vending. They get cold-called by aggressive sales reps and end up with whoever follows up first. Meanwhile, the best Chicago operators — meticulous, locally-owned, route-disciplined — are too small to outbid the larger players for the inbound leads.
We sit in between. We've vetted a network of operators by area, business type, and service category. When you tell us about your business, we match you with the one that fits. The operator funds the equipment and service; we keep doing the matchmaking; you get a better outcome than the cold-call would have given you.
Nothing about this should feel novel. The way it should have worked all along.
What we stand for
Four things we hold ourselves to
Operator quality is the product
We don't own machines. Our entire job is choosing the right Chicago operator for your business — and dropping ones who let service slip.
Matched, not sold
A different operator is right for an Evanston medical office than for a Schaumburg distribution center. We match on business type, area, headcount, and product expectations.
Chicago-area only
Every operator in our network is Chicago-based with active routes in your area. Same-day service is achievable because the truck isn't far away.
Accountable after the match
If a placement isn't working — bad mix, slow restocking, anything — tell us. We'll work the problem with the operator, and re-match you if it comes to that.
Where we work
Chicago, plus the inner suburbs
Ten areas today. Expanding through the rest of the metro as we grow the operator network.
