After a 30+ year career in vending automation our CEO and Founder, Jim Brinton, had an inspirational idea to help companies provide fresh food at work and reinvent the company break room.
How? By inventing a self-checkout micro market with an array of fresh, healthy food options for onsite food service. At the time it was revolutionary concept.
It also took guts and stamina. Many of Jim's peers in the vending industry were skeptical of the open market concept with self-checkout due to high risk of theft.
In 2009 the first micro market, the Avanti Market, was installed as a company break room at a local TV station in Seattle. It was a success.
