A warm, modern communal lounge in a Köln building

Built for Köln’s international residences, gyms, and coworking spaces — with English-speaking service, modern cashless machines, and a real person who picks up.

The problem

Your people want snacks and drinks around the clock. Giving them that shouldn’t be your problem.

Your residents and members expect something to eat or drink at any hour — but setting that up usually means cost, staff, and hassle you don’t have time for.

So you’re left with bad options:

  • Run a mini-shop yourself — cost, staff, and hassle.
  • Sign a big operator that installs a machine and disappears.
  • Offer nothing — and field the complaints.

None of those are good. There’s a better one.

The fix

A modern vending operator that actually shows up.

Stocked is a small, fast, tech-first vending operator built for three kinds of Köln spaces: international student residences, unstaffed gyms, and coworkings. We don’t drop a generic machine and vanish — we tailor the selection to your people, keep it full with live telemetry, and answer as a person, not a ticket number.

Big operators

  • Slow and bureaucratic
  • Generic, one-size assortment
  • German-only, install-and-vanish

Stocked

  • Quick and hands-on
  • Curated for your people
  • Runs in English — a real person answers

The catch

Free, with no catch — here’s how that works.

A free machine sounds too good, so here’s the honest version: we make our money on a margin of what sells, not from you. We cover the machine, the stock, and the service. We only do well when your people actually buy — so your incentives and ours point the same way.

  1. You provide the space
  2. Your people buy
  3. You earn a share — we take a margin

What you get

  • Zero cost, real upside

    You pay nothing to install or run it. You provide the space and earn a share of every sale, paid out transparently.

  • We handle everything

    Install, restocking, maintenance, payments, and insurance — all on us. Hands-off for you, start to finish.

  • Tailored to your space

    A student residence isn’t a gym. We curate the assortment to your people — drinks, snacks, protein, essentials — and adjust as we learn what sells.

  • Modern and cashless

    Card and mobile payments, no coins. Clean machines that fit a modern building, not a 1990s break room.

  • See every sale, live

    A transparent dashboard shows your sales in real time. No black box, no guessing what you’re owed.

  • Run in English

    Service, support, and your sales dashboard — all in English. Built for international buildings, not translated as an afterthought.

Setup · 03 steps

Up and running in three steps

  1. Tell us about your space

    Share your building type and rough foot traffic. We’ll recommend the right machine and assortment.

  2. We install it free

    We deliver, set up, and stock the machine. You don’t lift a finger and you don’t pay a cent.

  3. Your people buy, you earn

    Sales start day one. You watch them live on your dashboard and receive your share — while we keep everything full and running.

A note from the founder

You’ll deal with me directly — not a call center. Stocked is small on purpose. When you sign up, you get one person who knows your building, picks the assortment, and answers the phone. Big operators hand you a contract and a ticket queue. I’d rather earn a handful of Köln buildings by actually showing up.

The 3-month no-risk trial

Try Stocked for three months. We install and run everything at no cost. If it’s not pulling its weight by then — too little traffic, wrong fit, whatever the reason — we take the machine back, no questions and no bill. The risk of trying us is ours, not yours.

Q & A

The honest answers

You’re new — do you have experience?

We’re a small, modern operator, not a legacy giant that installs and forgets. And the 3-month no-risk trial puts the burden of proof on us, not you.

I don’t want to lock into a long contract.

You don’t. Try it for three months. If it’s not working, we take the machine back. No lock-in.

We already have (or had) a machine.

Then compare. We bring a tailored assortment, a live dashboard, and a person who answers — for three months at no cost. Most generic operators give you none of that.

What if it runs empty or breaks?

Telemetry flags low stock and faults early, so we restock and fix fast. When something’s wrong, you reach a person, not a queue.

What does it cost me?

Nothing. You provide the space; we handle everything else and share the revenue. We’ll walk through the numbers on a quick call.

What do you need from me?

A bit of floor space and a power socket. That’s it — we bring the machine, stock it, run the payments, and keep it maintained.

Give your building 24/7 snacks and drinks — at zero cost and zero risk.

Provide the space. We’ll handle the rest and share the revenue. If three months in it’s not a fit, we take the machine back. That simple.
