""Champagne has always been synonymous with life celebrations, but we think you should celebrate every day," says Bridgette O'Neil, director of marketing at this NoMa hotel."
""We try to balance our offerings, so no matter what you're craving, there's going to be something," says Mike Galyen, a partner at Guerilla Vending, which operates more than 30 machines in the region, including ones at the Yotel on Capitol Hill and Maketto on H Street, Northeast."
""And we monitor in real time what's selling and what isn't.""
""It always turns heads," says Stellina co-owner Antonio Matarazzo, adding that more locations are in the works."
Vending machines have evolved to offer luxe drinks and boutique bites beyond conventional snacks. Hotel lobbies feature machines dispensing miniature bottles of Moët & Chandon after purchasing an engraved gold coin. Operators curate selections with local brands such as Popcorn Queens, Whisked, My Dad's Chips, and Berg energy bites while monitoring sales in real time to optimize inventory. Refrigerated units provide jarred sauces, freshly made pastas, panini, pizza kits, cannoli, and tiramisu for residents and visitors. Machines are placed in hotels, restaurants, and apartment buildings, with plans to expand to additional locations.
