Straight answers before install.

$0. NightShift owns and provides the machine at no cost to the venue. We handle installation, inventory, monitoring, restocking, maintenance, payment operations, and customer support. You provide an approved location and access to power; we take care of everything else.

Yes. NightShift offers revenue-sharing agreements, fixed monthly rent, or a combination of both. The structure and amount are based on venue traffic and the final placement agreement, with all terms confirmed in writing before installation.

No. NightShift is a fully managed vending service. We handle product selection, purchasing, monitoring, restocking, routine maintenance, payment operations, and customer support. Your staff does not need to operate or manage the machine. If they notice an issue, they can contact NightShift and we will take care of it.

Most placements need a secure, approved location and one standard 110-volt outlet nearby. Venue Wi-Fi is preferred, but a cellular connection can be configured when Wi-Fi is unavailable or unreliable. We confirm measurements, connectivity, delivery path, and placement details during the site review.

NightShift can professionally wall mount compatible machines after confirming the wall construction and placement approval. A pedestal stand is also available when the venue prefers a freestanding installation or the wall is not suitable.

Yes. Every NightShift machine includes an ID reader, regardless of venue type or product mix. It adds another layer of age verification and scrutiny, reinforcing a professional, compliance-conscious installation. The reader complements, but does not replace, venue eligibility requirements, access controls, or applicable law.

Yes. Product boundaries are agreed before launch. Venue partners can request relevant categories and exclude items that conflict with their brand or operating policies, subject to the overall viability of the placement.

Yes. A qualified venue that admits guests age 18 and older may be considered for a non-nicotine assortment. The final catalog is still under development. Nicotine products cannot be included in an 18+ placement.

The venue may still be considered for a non-nicotine setup. A nicotine-equipped vending machine is not appropriate when people under 21 are present or permitted to enter at any time, including under-21 events, daytime access, or other exceptions to a continuous 21+ policy.

No. A specific return cannot be projected responsibly without verified location data. Actual performance depends on traffic, placement, audience, pricing, assortment, and venue operations.

Term length, access, revenue participation, removal rights, service expectations, and responsibilities are documented in the venue-specific agreement and reviewed before installation.
