This isn’t traditional school vending. 👏

It’s YOUR food. YOUR program. YOUR revenue.

With self-operated, POS-connected vending, school nutrition teams can turn vending into an extension of the cafeteria, not an outside vendor competing with it.

🍎 Stock it with the nutritious foods YOU choose
💳 Connect directly to your existing POS and student accounts
🥗 Expand access to fresh meals, snacks, and reimbursable options
⏰ Serve students beyond the traditional lunch line
💰 Keep the revenue in YOUR nutrition program

It’s not just a vending machine. It’s another point of service.

More access for kids. More flexibility for your team. More revenue flowing through the program you already operate.

This is school vending, reimagined.

Kinda chic... 💙

The conversation around school meals in our country is increasingly focused on fresh food, better nutrition, and greater access. So why should school vending still mean soda and candy?

With POS CONNECTED VENDING, schools can transform traditional vending into an extension of their own NUTRITION program, stocked daily with fresh salads, parfaits, sandwiches, complete meals, and more.

And here's what makes this model different: the school nutrition team owns and operates the program. They choose the food. They stock the machines. They stay in control.

The result? Greater access to nutritious food throughout the school day, in the places students already are.

Fresh food. More access. School nutrition in control.
The lunch line just got a little shorter. 💙

Great job, Stillwater! 😍 Your meals look fantastic, and we know your students are going to LOVE this!

We love cheering on another successful implementation of POS-connected meal vending. 🙌

Vend-ucation empowers school districts to take ownership of their vending program and use it as a true extension of the cafeteria. With refrigerated technology and our gentle elevator delivery system, schools can stock fresh meals daily and serve students in more places across campus, while extending access beyond traditional cafeteria service times.

And the best part? Success stories like Stillwater’s are happening across the country. 💚

Self-operated. POS-connected. Fresh food. More access.

Extending the reach of school nutrition and giving more students access to the healthy fuel they need to learn and thrive. 🍎

So exciting! Our meal vending machine is live today! High school students can grab lunch upstairs without having to come down to the student center.

Good to know:
💵The meal costs the same as at the other 3 serving lines. Either $3.05, $0.40, or $0.00 (You can reapply for low-cost meals at any time.)

😀Students still get one lunch per day, even if they shop at another serving line, just one lunch. They can buy another meal at a la carte prices.

🕚 The machine is open starting at 11:00 am.

🕐 After lunch, any lunches available can be purchased at a la carte prices.

Looking good Konocti Unified! 😍 We at Vend-ucation are cheering you on and are SO excited to see the benefits and extended reach this will bring to your nutrition program! We are proud to be able to offer this innovative solution to impact K12 school nutrition across this country.

We’re excited to launch our new vending machines at Lower Lake High School, designed to help students get their school meals faster and more conveniently, with less waiting in line!

And don’t worry… the food hasn’t changed!
Students will still receive the same great meals we’ve been serving at the window—fresh, made daily, and prepared by our Child Nutrition team. The only difference is that now, students have another quick and convenient way to get their meal!

🥪 Breakfast & Lunch Options
🍎 Fruit
🥛 Milk
🥗 Vegetable
🍽️ Main Dish

These meals are part of our free reimbursable school meal program, and students simply use their lunch number to access their meal.

Our goal is simple: less waiting, more time to eat, and the same fresh meals our students know and enjoy!

We’re excited to bring this new option to our high school students! 🎉

At Vend-ucation, we don’t just deliver a vending machine and wish you luck. 💚

We invest in your success.
Have you heard about our hands-on Technician Training Program brings school nutrition teams directly to the factory, where they learn the ins and outs of their equipment, build confidence, and gain the skills to keep their vending programs running smoothly?

And who better to tell you about it than the people who’ve been through it themselves? 🎓

We’re proud to be with our school partners every step of the way, from installation to training to the years ahead.

Because when you succeed, more students have convenient access to the meals they need. And that’s the whole point.

Your machines. Your team. Our support. All along the way.

Upcoming dates for tech training at the factory in Des Moines: Oct 14-16, 2026 or May 5-7, 2027 Contact us today to register- Space is limited!

Sometimes the best way to explain what we do is to let our customers say it. ❤️

POS-connected School vending that is owned by the school nutrition department, isn't just about convenience. It's about removing barriers to student nutrition and finding new ways to make breakfast and meals more accessible throughout the school day.

We love seeing districts take this idea and make it their own, and even more, seeing the impact it can have on the students they serve.

Thank you to the school nutrition professionals who continue to inspire us with the creative ways you're feeding students!

Vend-ucation's POS connected vending solutions help school nutrition programs take meals beyond the traditional cafeteria, giving students convenient access to school meals where they already spend their day.

Less waiting. More access. More opportunities to feed kids.

Okay...maybe it’s more than kinda chic. 😉
