What is Smart Market? Melbourne's Smarter Workplace Food Solution

By Jake Barker, Smart Market Melbourne  ·  March 2025  ·  5 min read

If you've ever walked past an old vending machine in a Melbourne office or warehouse and thought there has to be a better way, you're right. Smart Market is that better way.

What Exactly is Smart Market?

Smart Market is a fully managed, cashless smart vending machine that we install in Melbourne workplaces completely free of charge. Think of it as a miniature convenience store for your team, stocked with fresh meals, drinks, healthy snacks, and everyday essentials, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Unlike traditional vending machines, Smart Market uses AI-powered cameras to track stock in real time, process cashless tap-and-go payments, and give your team a genuinely modern food experience. No coins, no buttons, no getting your chips stuck in the coil.

How Does It Work for Employees?

It couldn't be simpler. Tap your card or phone on the reader to unlock the door. Take whatever you want while AI cameras track your selections. Close the door and your card is automatically charged for exactly what you took. No app required. No registration. No cash.

What's Inside a Smart Market?

Smart Market carries over 100 products across four categories, and we customise the mix to suit your specific team. Our key differentiator is real meals, not just snacks. Think MyMuscleChef ready meals, curries, noodles, sandwiches, and yoghurt alongside your drinks, energy bars, and everyday snacks.

What Does it Cost Your Business?

Nothing. Smart Market is 100% free to your business. The machine, installation, stocking, cleaning, and maintenance are all handled by us at no cost. We generate revenue from product sales, which means you get a premium employee benefit without spending a cent.

Who is Smart Market For?

Smart Market works beautifully across a wide range of Melbourne workplaces including offices, warehouses, factories, gyms, healthcare facilities, hotels, and schools. If your team needs food and you have a break room or common area, Smart Market is for you.
