A letter from Vendini's founders

Hi. Vendini here.

We believe in our mission to make people a bit happier and healthier through snacking.

The vending world has felt stale for a long time - like those chips that expired in 2022 but are still in the machine. Your options are limited and impersonal.

But you are real humans dealing with real properties that need real solutions. Food IS personal. Profit can be important too.

So let’s help each other - and crush cravings at the same time. We promise to make vending feel magical again.

With Love,
Ty + Joe
The NOI-ce Guys

Ty Garretson

Co-Founder

Ty is the operational backbone of Vendini. With extensive experience in manufacturing and automation from 3M, Ty has spent his career making complex systems simple. His stint in business development at American Postal Infrastructure taught him that if you can make the post office run efficiently, you can make anything work. Ty's hands-on approach ensures our partners get more than just a fancy snack dispenser—they get a business partner who won't disappear when things get interesting.
