What we do

Everything your vending machine needs —
handled by us

You give us a corner and an outlet. We take care of the rest, start to finish.

Smart cooler placement

We carry a range of footprints, from compact units for smaller spaces up to larger, higher-capacity coolers for busy sites — we recommend the right size after seeing your space. Every model is refrigerated, keeps drinks cold, and holds snacks alongside bottled and canned drinks. All it needs is a wall and an outlet.

Custom product mix

Eleven categories, from chips and candy to protein bars and iced coffee — see the full lineup below. Your team tells us what they want and we adjust the mix as tastes change.

Restocking & service

The cooler reports its own inventory, so low shelves get flagged before anyone notices. Restocks run on a set schedule, the glass gets wiped, and repairs are handled the same week.

Cashless by design

No coin mechanism means none of the usual vending failures — no jams, no stuck snacks, no swallowed bills. Nothing mechanical to break, nothing for you to fix by hand.

About Chippy

A local Portland operator, not a call center

Chippy started with one machine and one observation: most break rooms and lobbies are either empty or stocked with things nobody reaches for. We thought a vending machine should feel like a small perk instead of a last resort.

Today Chippy places and services machines across the Portland metro area. It is an owner-operated business, which means one person knows every machine, every location, and exactly what is in it.

  • Nothing on your to-do list

    We install it, keep it stocked, and handle every repair. Payment is fully cashless, so there is no cash to count and no supplier for you to call.

  • Responsive, not reactive

    Restocks happen before you would think to ask. If you do reach out, by text or email, you hear back within one business day.

  • Licensed & insured

    Fully insured equipment and operations, with a certificate of insurance available on request.

Questions

The things people ask first

Is it really free?

Yes — we make money when people buy from the machine, not from you. There is no purchase, lease, minimum, and no maintenance for you to manage. If a location does not sell enough to sustain a machine, we remove it at no charge to you.

How many people do we need?

We look for around 30 or more people on site regularly, but foot traffic matters more than headcount — buildings with visitors, shift workers, or late hours often do well with fewer.

Who sets the prices?

We do, in line with nearby convenience stores.

Do the coolers take cash?

No, and that is deliberate. Card, tap, Apple Pay and Google Pay only. There is no cash box on your property to worry about, no coin jams, and no one asking the front desk for change.

What if something is charged wrong?

Text the number on the door. Refunds are issued within one business day.

Do you offer commission to host locations?

Commission programs are available for higher-volume sites. Mention it when you reach out and we will include the numbers in your proposal.

What does the cooler need from us?

A flat spot against a wall and a standard 110V outlet. Sizes run 23–32 inches wide, 76–80 inches tall — we recommend the right one for your space. Every unit is refrigerated and rolls in on casters.

What kind of machine is it?

An AI-vision cooler, not a traditional spiral machine. Cameras track what you take off the shelf, so there is nothing to scan and no buttons to press — the system bills you automatically once the door closes.
