FAQs

Questions & Answers

Everything you need to know about bringing a SmartMart to your location.

Is there any cost to my organization to host a SmartMart?
▼
No — absolutely none. Aric Group Vending provides the SmartMart unit, installs it, stocks it, maintains it, and services it entirely at our expense. There is also no long-term commitment required from your organization.
How does the AI checkout technology work?
▼
Our SmartMarts use advanced computer vision cameras inside the unit that track which items you pick up or put back. When you close the door, the system processes your selections and charges your linked payment method automatically — no scanning required.
How do customers pay for their items?
▼
Customers scan a QR code on the SmartMart door, which links to a secure payment app. Credit cards, debit cards, and digital wallets are all accepted. The charge processes automatically when the door is closed.
What kind of products are stocked in the SmartMart?
▼
We stock a curated selection of healthy snacks, beverages, fresh meals, and everyday essentials. We also work with location managers to tailor the product mix to the preferences of their specific team or customer base.
Who is responsible for stocking and maintenance?
▼
We handle all restocking, cleaning, and technical maintenance. We monitor inventory remotely in real time and dispatch our team before products run out. You won't need to manage or coordinate anything on your end.
How much space does a SmartMart require?
▼
SmartMart units are compact and designed to fit in standard break rooms, hallways, or lobbies. The footprint is similar to a large refrigerator. Our team will assess your space during the initial consultation and recommend the best placement.
What types of locations qualify for a SmartMart?
▼
We work with offices, manufacturing facilities, government buildings, healthcare campuses, schools, hotels, gyms, and more. If your location has regular foot traffic and a need for convenient food access, we can likely place a SmartMart there — contact us and we'll evaluate your location.
