§ How It Works

Three weeks from handshake to first sale.

Every Outpost starts with a real conversation about your space. We walk the space, learn about the community, and build a stock list that suits your mission. Then we install, restock, and stay on call. All at no cost to you.

Site Survey

We walk your space with you to map out the ideal setup. By evaluating your layout and community needs, we build a clear blueprint of what should live on your shelves and exactly where the machine fits best. No pressure. No obligation.

  • On-Site Walk-Through: A collaborative look at the space with the owner or manager.
  • Preference Assessment: A conversation about who uses the space and what they actually want and need.
  • Utility & Footprint Check: An evaluation of power, WIFI access, and physical dimensions.
  • Q&A: A discussion to answer any questions about the machines, products, or process.
  • The Blueprint: A written summary and proposal contract within three business days.

Custom Build & Product Lineup

We don't do cookie-cutter inventory. We build a custom product lineup tailored specifically to your needs. From high-performance protein and hydration to meal preps and local products, every item is sourced through verified suppliers and priced for your location.

  • Equipment Order: We order any machines, equipment, or products required for your space.
  • Finalize Product Lineup: We provide a curated product list built around your specific preferences and collaborate until we get the right fit.

Outpost Goes Live

We handle the delivery, installation, and setup from start to finish. Our team positions the machine, connects utilities, stocks the shelves, and confirms everything is in working order. We stick around to train you and your team, answer any questions, and make sure you have our direct contact info before we leave.

  • Delivery & Placement: Transporting and positioning the machine in your designated spot.
  • Initial Stocking: Loading and organizing the approved product inventory.
  • System Testing: Connecting and verifying card, tap, and mobile payment processors.
  • Team Overview: Providing a brief walk-through to answer questions and share direct contact information for support.

§ FAQ

The questions space owners ask first.

What does it cost?

Placing an Outpost in your space costs you nothing. We supply the machine, the products, and the service. You provide the spot and the power. If your space fits a different arrangement, we can talk through it on the survey call.

Who restocks the machine?

We do. Every Outpost is monitored via a remote inventory system and restocked when low. We are happy to accommodate any specific location requirements or restrictions. If the machine ever runs low between visits, you can text or call and we will come early.

Can we customize what is stocked?

Absolutely. Each Outpost is adaptable to support each unique community and their mission.

How do payments work?

Every Outpost takes card and tap-to-pay. Customers transact directly with the machine. You are not handling money and there is no cash on site.

How long does setup take?

Two to four weeks from initial request to an operating Outpost. The site survey takes roughly three days, the custom build and product lineup takes roughly fourteen days, and the Outpost goes live in roughly one day.
