Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this more expensive for the consumer?

Not at all. Our snacks and drinks are priced competitively with traditional vending options - typically around $3 - $4, the same as a soda or chocolate bar. The difference is in the quality: you’re getting clean ingredients, better nutrition, Canadian-made products, and no artificial additives. In other words, your patrons get more value and wellness at the same price point.

2. Are all products Canadian?

Yes - 100% Canadian-sourced. We proudly partner only with local Canadian food vendors. Every product we stock supports small businesses, strengthens Canada’s food ecosystem, and highlights the best healthy snacks and beverages made in Canada.

3. Is the food “health-washed”?

Our team follows a strict product selection process that goes far beyond marketing buzzwords. We never stock items with unnecessary additives, refined seed oils, or artificial dyes. Every snack and drink is carefully vetted against nutritional standards, so your community enjoys genuinely healthier choices - not clever branding.

4. How can I find out if I qualify?

To qualify for BetterVending service, your site should demonstrate:

High daily foot traffic

If you think your workplace, school, or facility is a good fit, reach out to us at sales@bettervending.ca. We’d love to explore a partnership and bring better snacks to your space.

5. What if my patrons don’t like the food?

They will - because it’s delicious, nutritious, and tailored to your community. Studies show Canadians are actively seeking healthier snack and drink options where they work, study, and play. We also customize every machine to suit its environment:

Co-working hubs → natural energy drinks & protein-packed snacks
Recreation centres → kid-friendly, low-sugar options

On top of that, we run ongoing feedback loops with hosts to ensure machines stay stocked with the snacks your patrons actually love.

6. Do the machines show nutrition information?

Yes. Every BetterVending machine is tech-enabled with an interactive QR code that provides full nutritional transparency. Patrons can instantly view:

Ingredients
Allergens
Nutritional facts

This makes healthy choices easier, more informed, and more accessible.

7. What makes BetterVending different from other vending companies?

Most vending companies rely on stocking cheap, processed junk food with artificial additives - all for maximum profit.

BetterVending was built as the healthier, values-driven alternative. We prove that profit and health can work together by focusing on:

Minimally processed, Canadian-made snacks and drinks
Transparent, tech-enabled machines with nutrition info
Community reinvestment through health initiatives

It’s vending with purpose.
