VENDING, BUT BETTER

AK Smart Vending is an Alaskan veteran-owned business that truly cares about the communities we serve. We specialize in the newer modern concept of “vending machines”. Imagine a self-serve coffee shop on your office floor, protein shakes in your gym, and hot meals for your hotel. That type of thing.







Because we live and work right here in Alaska, we understand what local workplaces, apartment buildings, clinics, and public spaces need. Our machines are reliable, easy to use, cashless, filled with things you actually want, and they’re not the same eyesore you remember from school.
Please reach us at aksmartvending@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
The owner doesn't deal with maintenance whatsoever. We monitor the machines for restock, clean them regularly, and repair if needed.
They are completely free to the owner.
Through our partners, these systems are already installed at New York’s Metropolitan Museum, Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Amazon warehouses, and many other high-traffic locations across the country.
We're trying to bring this to Alaska because we hate that Alaska always seems to be at the butt-end of every upgrade the rest of the country gets, like some unwanted stepchild getting hand-me-downs.
It's not necessarily a no-go. Of course it's a case by case basis, but we don't directly compete with cafes and the like in all markets. Much of the younger generation doesn't like to go up and talk to people to order food, manned food service usually isn't open 24 hrs, and a few other factors can point to smart self service installations making sense. Best to just give us a call and we can talk about whether or not it would be a good fit.
The great part is that there is no room here for human error. No one can claim poor training, fatigue, or any kind of negligence on part of the owner of the building. Furthermore, these machines have all gone through rigorous testing and received their UL listing. If that's not enough, liability insurance is readily available on these machines, and it's very cheap because insurance companies do not see them as a risky asset.
Our self-serve coffee kiosk is open 24/7, fast, and convenient. It offers great-tasting coffee for people who don’t want to wait or pay coffee shop prices. It complements nearby cafés — it doesn’t compete with them.
Our coffee selection is customized for each location. We can use locally roasted beans or choose the best price-to-quality option on the market. At the moment, LUCAS Coffee is our top choice for its excellent taste and consistency.
Yes. Our machines need only a single 110V outlet, no water line, and about 15 square feet of space.
Call or text anytime. We always have time to share what we have to offer, answer questions, or just set up a time for us to come to your place of business on your schedule.
