Your total cost
We buy the machine, deliver it, install it, stock it, service it, insure it and carry the product cost. No equipment purchase, no lease, no service contract. If it comes out, that's on us too.
For venue owners
Two square feet.
Two square feet.
A cut of every sale.
Your customers already buy these products — just somewhere else, on the way to you or on the way home. A machine keeps that spend in the building, and you don't stock it, sell it, or ID anyone.
The offer
Three things, and that's the whole pitch
Your cut of every sale
Calculated from the machine's own electronic sales record — nothing to reconcile by hand. We don't post a fixed rate; the split depends on your traffic and your venue, and it's negotiable.
Or none, on a wall
Roughly 2 ft by 3 ft and under nine inches deep. Hang it and it costs you no floor at all; put it on a pedestal stand and it's about two square feet you can move. Most venues pick a spot near the restrooms, the patio door or the entrance.
The logic
Why this works in a 21+ room
A vape vending machine is a bad idea almost everywhere. It's a good idea in exactly one place: a venue where everyone has been carded at the door, people stay for hours, and the nearest smoke shop is closed or a drive away.
That's the whole thesis. Not lobbies and laundromats — rooms where the customer is already an adult, already on premises, and already inconvenienced by having to leave.
- Your door is already the first age check. The machine's ID scan is the second.
- Dwell time is long. People are there for hours, not ninety seconds.
- The alternative is leaving. A customer who steps out for a vape run may not come back.
- It runs when you're busiest. Late nights, when nothing else nearby is open.
What we ask of your staff
Nothing.
They don't stock it, unlock it, check IDs for it, handle its cash (there is none), process its refunds or fix it. Our number is on the machine. A customer with a problem at 1am calls us, not your bar manager.
All we need from your team is access during agreed restocking hours.
Straight answers
The objections worth raising
If you're seriously considering this, you have concerns. Here are the four we hear most, answered before installation rather than after.
"What's my exposure if a minor gets hold of it?"
Legitimate — it's why the ID scanner exists. The machine won't release product without reading a government-issued ID and clearing the 21+ check, and it takes no cash, which closes the usual workaround.
We won't tell you this leaves you with no exposure. FDA guidance puts responsibility for a machine on the facility operator whether or not they own it. The real protections are a site that actually qualifies and responsibilities in writing. Tell us about your venue and we'll walk you through it.
"Will it make my venue look cheap?"
Fair — plenty of vending hardware is ugly. These units are modern, lit, and closer to a card-payment kiosk than a break-room snack machine.
More usefully: you choose the placement and can say no to the spot we suggest. If the only place it fits would hurt your room, we should both pass on the site.
"What if it gets damaged or broken into?"
It holds no cash, which removes most of the motive. The machine is our property and our insurance responsibility; we cover repairs from ordinary use, faults and incidental damage.
We cover theft and vandalism too. The one exception is theft by your own staff — that's on you, and it's the only way hosting a machine can cost you anything.
"What if it just doesn't sell?"
Then we both earn nothing. We'd rather turn down a site than install a machine that sits dead — a dead placement costs us stock, service trips and capital.
No minimum term traps you with a machine you regret. Ask us to remove it and we will, at our cost.
One more, honestly: Cloud Access is a new company and this is our first wave of placements. We don't have a decade of installs to point at. What we can offer is the equipment, terms in writing, and a no-penalty exit — the deal a new operator should be offering.
