What Manco stocks in an apartment vending cooler

Manco handles all the stocking. We choose and buy the products, fill and restock the cooler, and adjust the selection based on purchases and resident requests. Your property team can share suggestions or building preferences whenever it’s helpful. Residents pay for what they buy.

What we put in the cooler first

We start with familiar choices like bottled water, sparkling water, and a mix of sweet and salty snacks. Near a fitness room, we might try electrolyte drinks and protein bars. A cooler in a lobby or shared laundry area might make small essentials like travel-size toiletries or tissues more useful. We check that products fit the cooler and that prices are easy to find.

How the building shapes the mix

For a Jenkintown-area community where residents pass the lobby on their way out in the morning, we might give convenient drinks and portable snacks more space. In a Philadelphia building with a busy resident gym, we might try more water and post-workout options. In a New York City apartment building with several shops nearby, we’d ask which items residents still wish they could pick up downstairs. Those are starting ideas for a site review, and every building can land on a different mix.

How Manco decides what to restock

We look at what shoppers bought, what sold out between visits, and what residents ask for. If a drink runs out early, we can test giving it more shelf space. If a snack sits untouched, we can check its visibility and price before trying something else. When residents request an item, we can start with a small quantity to see whether it sells.

What property managers can share

Tell us about common resident requests, product restrictions, and how people use the space. If you already have feedback from a resident survey, we can use it to choose the first assortment. Manco takes it from there. For the resident announcement, our cashless checkout guide explains how to shop.
