Hotel and Extended-Stay Vending in Dallas–Fort Worth
Flyby Vending replaces the tired sundry shop with a 24/7 smart market, gives extended-stay guests real food options, and takes the front desk out of the vending business entirely.
No cost to the property. Cashless payment. 24/7 availability.
A guest amenity that runs itself.
Guests arrive at every hour, and most of them are hungry, tired, or both. A tired sundry shop with a locked door and a handwritten price list does not solve that. Flyby places, stocks, and services smart markets and coolers so guests can get a real snack or meal at 2 a.m. without anyone at the front desk lifting a finger.

A fully managed hotel vending program.
Flyby owns the hardware, stocking, service, and payment processing so property staff never have to touch it.
Smart market and cooler placement
Site walk-through and equipment sized to your lobby, pantry closet, or off-lobby nook.
Real-food product mix
Sandwiches, protein, salads, and grab-and-go meals alongside snacks and drinks — not just candy and chips.
Overnight-ready stocking
A cadence built around guest turnover, not a 9-to-5 delivery schedule.
Cashless, contactless payment
Card and tap-to-pay only. No cash drawer for the front desk to manage or reconcile.
Maintenance and service coordination
Flyby fields equipment issues directly so front-desk staff never troubleshoot a jammed machine.
Ongoing product tuning
Selections adjusted for occupancy patterns, extended-stay guests, and seasonal travel mix.
The problems this actually solves.
Retire the sundry shop
A staffed sundry shop or a half-stocked pantry market is a cost center that looks worse every year it runs. A Micromart smart market replaces it with a self-checkout footprint that restocks itself into staying full — and it costs the property nothing to place.
Coverage for the hours nobody is at the desk
Late check-ins, red-eye departures, and 2 a.m. cravings do not wait for the front desk to reopen a closet. A smart cooler or market is available around the clock, with no one needing to unlock a door or ring up a sale.
Extended-stay guests want meals, not just candy
Guests staying a week or a month are cooking less and eating on-site more. They want protein, sandwiches, and something that resembles dinner — not just a wall of chips. Flyby stocks toward real food for extended-stay traffic.
It shows up in guest reviews
A dark vending machine or an empty shelf next to the elevator gets mentioned in reviews. A stocked, modern market is the kind of small detail that quietly protects your score instead of dinging it.
Front-desk staff stop being shopkeepers
Ringing up a bag of chips or fielding a jammed machine call is not what front-desk staff should be doing. Flyby owns stocking, service, and payments, so your team goes back to running the desk.
DFW’s hotel density plays to this
The airport corridor along DFW and Love Field, plus the Mid-Cities hotel clusters in Irving, Grapevine, and Arlington, run high turnover and odd-hour arrivals. That is exactly the traffic pattern a 24/7 smart market is built for.
Matched to your lobby and guest mix.
Not every property needs the same footprint. Flyby helps identify the right format based on lobby space, guest mix, and traffic.
Micromart smart coolers
Grab-and-go drinks, protein, and fresh items with computer-vision checkout — no PIN pad, no attendant.
Micromart smart stores
A larger open-shelf footprint for lobbies and pantry rooms with a broader mix of food and essentials.
Ambient pantries
Shelf-stable snacks and travel essentials for smaller properties or secondary placements.
Wood-enclosure edition
A furniture-grade cabinet finish for boutique lobbies where equipment needs to match the design.
