Is your site a fit for a no-cost Micromart?
Flyby Vending does not place a unit everywhere it physically fits. We place where the experience pays off for everyone involved — enough foot traffic to keep product fresh, the right space to make it feel intentional, and a building that wants it there for the long run. This page is the honest version of our criteria, written so you can size up your own site before you spend a minute on a form.
If you read through it and you are close but not certain, send the request anyway. Borderline sites are exactly the ones worth a conversation, and a twenty-minute walkthrough answers questions no form can.
Two related reads if you are earlier in the process: what "free" actually covers in a no-cost placement and how to get a machine into your building when the decision involves ownership or property management.
Is your site a fit?
We focus where the experience pays off for everyone — high foot traffic, the right space, and a long-term home for the unit.
- Offices, campuses, or shared workspaces with 50+ daily users
- Class A & B commercial buildings with lobby, breakroom, or amenity space
- Residential multifamily with active resident lounges or common areas
- Gyms, urgent care facilities, and hospitals with steady member or patient traffic
- 24/7 warehouses and distribution centers keeping every shift fueled around the clock
- 24/7 or extended-hours access for staff and visitors
- Happy to share your smart store with both employees and clients alike
- 3-year partnership — locked-in $0 cost, priority service, and free hardware refreshes as Micromart evolves
- Locations with fewer than 50 regular on-site users
- Sites without reliable power or basic connectivity
- Locations where exclusive Micromart placement isn't feasible
- Spaces where a Micromart can't be positioned for easy client access
The six things we actually evaluate
A survey takes about twenty minutes, and these are the six things we are weighing while we walk your space. None of them is a hard gate on its own — a strong showing in one can carry a soft spot in another.
People, and when they are there
Headcount matters, but the shape of the day matters more. A hundred people on one shift behaves very differently from a hundred spread across three. We look at when your break room is busy, whether weekends are active, and whether visitors add to the base. Around fifty regular on-site users is the practical floor for a placement that stays fresh and well stocked.
A wall the unit can call home
We need roughly three to six feet of clear wall depending on the format, a standard 120V outlet within reach, and a spot people already walk past. Units tucked into a back hallway underperform, not because the hardware is different, but because nobody remembers they exist.
Power and signal
A dedicated circuit is ideal but not required. Cellular connectivity is how the unit reports sales and temperature; in basements and deep interior rooms we check signal during the survey and place accordingly rather than discovering the problem after install.
Exclusivity for the term
A qualified site keeps Micromart as its single unattended retail provider for the placement term. That is what funds the hardware, the product, and the route service at zero cost to the building.
A long-term home
We are placing capital equipment. Sites planning to relocate in six months, or buildings where the amenity space is about to be gutted, are better served by waiting until the dust settles. Tell us if that is you and we will pick the timing together.
Someone who will champion it
The strongest placements have one person — an office manager, a property manager, a plant supervisor — who is glad it is there and will tell us when something is off. That single relationship is worth more than any spreadsheet.
Property types that qualify most often
Across Dallas–Fort Worth these six categories account for nearly every placement we run. If your building is not on the list, that is not a no — it is a reason to describe it to us in your own words.
- Offices and campuses
- Breakroom and lounge placements for teams of 50 to 1,000+, including multi-tenant floors.
- Warehouses and distribution
- Round-the-clock shifts where the nearest open store is a fifteen-minute drive.
- Apartment communities
- Resident lounges, clubhouses, and package rooms where the amenity is on display.
- Gyms and studios
- Protein, recovery drinks, and cold beverages at the exact moment members want them.
- Clinics and hospitals
- Staff and family access at hours when the cafeteria is closed.
- Class A and B commercial
- Lobby-appropriate wood enclosure formats for buildings that care how it looks.
What happens after you send the form
A person reads it — usually the same business day. If your site looks like a fit we reach out to schedule the walkthrough, and we tell you up front which Micromart format we think belongs there so the conversation starts somewhere concrete.
If it is not a fit, you get a straight answer and the reason behind it. We would rather lose a placement than install a unit that ends up half empty and blamed on the vendor. Sites we decline are kept on file, and we check back when something changes.
Either way there is no obligation and no sales sequence waiting for you. Our guide on what qualifies a site goes deeper if you want to read before you write.
Common questions
What is the minimum headcount to qualify?
Roughly fifty regular on-site users is the practical floor. Below that, sales rarely support the freshness and service standard we hold ourselves to, and the experience suffers for the people you were trying to take care of.
Our building is under fifty people but has heavy visitor traffic. Does that count?
Often yes. Clinics, gyms, and lobbies in multi-tenant buildings can qualify on visitor volume even when the resident headcount is small. Tell us the daily foot traffic and we will look at it honestly.
Why does the placement have to be exclusive?
Because Flyby Vending buys the hardware and carries the product cost. Exclusivity for the term is what makes a no-cost premium placement viable instead of a stripped-down machine that nobody wants to use.
What is the term length?
Three years. In exchange the site keeps a locked-in $0 cost, priority service, and free hardware refreshes as the Micromart platform evolves.
What if we do not qualify today?
We will tell you plainly and explain what would change the answer — usually headcount growth, a lease consolidation, or a renovation that opens up the right wall. Sites that were a no in one year are frequently a yes in the next.
