A More Flexible Business Model

Can a Smart Cooler Create Passive Income?

Smart coolers can help build a semi-passive revenue stream by automating the shopping and payment experience. You do not need a cashier at the cooler for every sale.

  • Automate — product recognition and checkout.
  • Monitor — sales and available inventory.
  • Optimize — pricing, product mix and location.
  • Grow — expand when performance supports it.

Automation does the selling.
Your business drives the results.

Every location is different. Your results will depend on foot traffic, customer demand, product margins, pricing and operating expenses.

Plan for product purchasing, restocking, maintenance, payment fees and location agreements. A smart cooler reduces the need for on-site staffing, but it does not eliminate business operations.
