Frequently Asked Questions About Smart Market Service
What is a smart market?
A smart market is a self-service, tap-to-open convenience amenity for multifamily properties. It gives apartment residents convenient on-site access to snacks, beverages, everyday essentials, and better-for-you options.
How is a smart market different from a vending machine or traditional micro market?
Unlike a traditional vending machine, a smart market lets residents browse the full assortment at once. Unlike an open micro market, the products remain secured until a resident taps to unlock.The result is the convenience and selection of a residential micro market in a compact, controlled format designed for Class A multifamily properties.
How much does smart market service cost the property?
No. Resident purchases support the service, so there is no cost to the property or ownership. We provide and manage the market without charging the property any equipment, installation, or management fees.
What does our onsite team need to manage?
Nothing. We handle installation, inventory monitoring, restocking, maintenance, transactions, and resident support directly—without adding another operational responsibility for the onsite team.
How does the smart market work for residents?
Residents tap a phone or payment card to unlock the market, take what they want, and close the door. The system identifies the items removed and charges only for those items.Our contact information is displayed on every market, so transaction questions and resident support come directly to us—not the property team.
What products do you stock?
Each market is individually curated with popular snacks, beverages, everyday essentials, and better-for-you options suited to the property and its residents.We monitor sales and inventory, restock as needed, and adjust the product mix over time based on what residents actually buy.
How do you choose the market location, and will it fit our property?
We recommend the location where the market is most likely to see regular resident use—typically the lobby or near a high-traffic resident touchpoint such as the elevators or package room.Our markets come in different designs and proportions—including wider, lower-profile formats and taller, narrower formats—so we can match the available space and property aesthetic instead of forcing the same setup into every location.Larger properties can also have more than one market when resident traffic is spread across multiple areas or buildings.We will provide a custom visual proposal showing the recommended configuration, placement, and appearance of the markets in your space for your approval.
What happens after I get started, and how long does installation take?
Tell us about your property and we’ll follow up within one business day. We’ll then complete a brief site walk to evaluate resident traffic, available space, and potential market locations.Once you approve our recommendation, we coordinate delivery and installation. Markets can typically be operational within weeks.
Is there a long-term commitment?
No. The service can be cancelled at any time with a simple email, and we will remove the market within 60 days.
Do you offer a revenue share?
Yes. Properties can opt for an annual agreement with a revenue share.
