Office vending in Atlantis, FL, for the medical practices around the JFK hospital campus.

Medical staff eat whenever there is a gap between patients. A cooler in the office break room is open whenever the office is: pay with a tapped card or phone, then take a sandwich, snack plate or protein shake, and get back to work. We start with those items, along with water, and change the mix based on what your staff buys.

Most single practices are smaller than our usual minimum. In a medical office building with several practices, we talk to the property manager about one cooler in a shared space.

Practice managers in JFK Drive buildings tend to have the same questions. Will it look professional? Yes. It is a clean glass-front cooler, not a spiral-coil vending machine. Who stocks it? We do, on a set schedule. Will patients use it? That is up to you. Most practices put it in the staff area. Does it need plumbing? No, only a standard outlet. Bring us the number of clinical and front-office staff working there on a typical day. If several practices share space, list them all.

A solo practice with six staff is not going to sell enough to keep a fresh-food cooler restocked. Sandwiches have a shelf life, and slow sales mean waste. That is why we ask about the whole building, not one suite. Several practices on one floor, or a large group practice near the hospital, can make it work. If you are unsure, send the address and a rough count anyway. Checking takes us a few minutes, and you will get a clear yes or no.
