Give Your Residents an Amenity They'll Actually Use.

A fully stocked vending machine in your lobby — snacks, beverages, hot food, everyday essentials, and personal care items — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Stocked specifically for your residents. Free to install. Free to maintain. Always stocked. And it costs your building absolutely nothing.

Your Residents Are Looking for More.

In a competitive NYC rental market, amenities matter. Residents compare buildings not just on square footage and price — but on how convenient and comfortable their daily life will be. A gym, a rooftop, a laundry room. And increasingly, a 24/7 amenity in the lobby that actually serves their real needs.

Most building vending machines — if they exist at all — are stale, underserving, and frustrating. Wrong products. Frequent empty slots. Machines that break and sit idle for days. Residents notice. Prospective tenants notice. Online reviews notice.

Lumi changes that entirely.

Built for the Way NYC Residents Actually Live.

Residential vending isn't just "a snack machine in the lobby." It's a 24/7 convenience resource that residents reach for at 7am before work, midnight after a long shift, or 3am when they're out of pain reliever. The product mix has to reflect that — and so does the service.

What makes our residential service different:

  • Stocked for residents, not just commuters — Toiletries, pain relievers, phone chargers, hot food, and the everyday essentials people need outside business hours. Not just chips and soda.

  • 24-hour maintenance response — Issues resolved within 24 hours. Restocking within 48 hours of running low. Property managers don't get complaints because we move first.

  • Remote inventory monitoring — We see when slots are getting low before residents do. The machine stays full.

  • Modern cashless machines — Credit, debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay. No cash. No fumbling. No lost sales.

  • Direct point of contact — Property managers and supers get a real human — not a call center ticket queue.

  • Full liability insurance — Nothing lands on your building or management company. Documentation available if your legal team asks.

Customized to Your Residents — Not a Generic Catalog.

Late-night snacks-

Chips, chocolates, granola bars, and the classics people reach for at the end of a long day.

everyday essentials-

Pain relievers, cold medicine, bandages, hand sanitizer, feminine hygiene products.

Personal care & toiletries-

Deodorant, lip balm, toothbrush kits, face wipes.

Protein bars, organic snacks, low-calorie drinks for health-conscious residents.

Warm meals available around the clock for residents who don't want to go out.

The result? Residents who feel taken care of. Fewer complaints. A lobby that feels like a building that actually thinks about the people living in it.

Yes, Really —
Zero Cost to Your Building.
Here's How.

We know what you're thinking — what's the catch? There isn't one.

Our business model is simple: we earn revenue on product sales.
Every item purchased from the machine generates our income.
That means the machine itself, delivery, installation, ongoing maintenance, and restocking are all our investment — not yours.
The better we serve your residents, the more they buy, and the better the model works for everyone.

You Introduce It. You Get the Credit.

Whether you're a property manager, building superintendent, leasing director, or owner — adding a Lumi machine is one of the easiest wins you'll have all year.

Your residents notice when their building improves. A well-stocked, modern vending machine in the lobby is a visible, tangible upgrade that people mention to their neighbors, highlight in reviews, and remember when lease renewal comes around. You made that happen.

And the best part? You don't have to manage a single thing after it's installed. No inventory decisions. No repair calls. No restocking coordination. Many of our building contacts genuinely forget we're there — which is exactly how it should be.

Cost to your business

What you won't have to deal with:

Fielding complaints about an empty or broken machine-

We monitor remotely and act before you hear about it.

Managing vendor relationships or contracts-

One conversation with us and it's handled.

Any cost to your building, ever-

Not now, not later.

Liability concerns-

Fully covered by our insurance.

How Lumi works

Step 1: Tell us about your building.

A quick conversation about your building — how many units, roughly how many residents, what the lobby traffic looks like, and what your residents would most benefit from having available. Takes about 10 minutes.

Step 2: We handle everything.

Once we confirm your building is a good fit, we schedule delivery and installation at a time that works for you. Our team arrives, installs the machine, and stocks it — all in under two hours. You don't lift a finger.

Step 3: Your residents start using it immediately.

The machine is stocked and ready from day one. Cashless payments — card, Apple Pay, Google Pay — so residents never need cash.

Step 4: We keep it running, always.

We monitor inventory remotely and restock before it runs low. Maintenance issues are resolved within 24 hours. Your dedicated Lumi contact is a real person, not a call center — always reachable when you need them.

From first call to fully stocked — here's what to expect.

Questions From Property Managers — Answered.

Is there really no cost to my building?

None at all. No rental fees, no installation charges, no maintenance costs, no restocking fees. Ever. We earn on product sales — that's our entire business model. Your building pays nothing.

What if our building already has a vending machine?

Most buildings we work with do. The question worth asking is: is it actually working? Is it consistently stocked? Does it carry what your residents actually need — not just chips and soda? Does it get serviced quickly when it breaks? If the answer to any of those is no, it's worth a conversation. We're happy to give you an honest assessment.

Who is liable if something happens with the machine?

We are. Lumi carries full liability insurance on all of our machines. There is no liability exposure for your building, your management company, or your landlord. We're happy to provide documentation if your legal team or insurance company needs it.

What if we want the machine removed?

Just say the word. We'll schedule a pickup at your convenience — no penalties, no exit fees, no complicated process. We want to be in buildings where we're genuinely adding value for residents. If that changes, we'd rather know.

Do residents have to pay in cash?

No. All Lumi machines accept credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. No cash required — which is exactly how your residents want it.

How much space does the machine need?

We have compact models designed specifically for tighter lobby and common area spaces. Before we commit to anything, we're happy to take a look at your available space and recommend the right machine size for your building.

Can we choose what goes in the machine?

Absolutely — that's the whole point. Before installation we have a conversation about your residents and what they'd most benefit from. We stock around that. And if you want to make changes after installation — add something, remove something, swap for seasonal items — just let us know.

How quickly can we get a machine installed?

Most accounts are up and running within two to three weeks of first contact. Once we confirm your building is a good fit, we move quickly.

Most accounts are up and running within two to three weeks of first contact.
