Open micro markets
Houston Micro Markets for Better Breaks
Give people room to choose. An open market brings shelving, refrigeration and self-checkout together inside a workplace or suitable shared space.
More choice without managing a store
A micro market can offer a broader mix than a conventional snack machine. Drinks, familiar favorites, healthier choices and fresh meals can be planned around demand and the equipment installed. Fresh selection varies by location.
Tap & Go handles the product mix, stocking and equipment service. Your team has a local point of contact for feedback and questions.
Is an open market the right fit?
We review actual attendance, access, available space and operating hours. A secure employee breakroom may suit an open layout; a semi-public space may be better served by a controlled-access cooler. There is no single headcount that makes every site a fit.
What does placement cost?
No-cost placement is available for qualifying locations. Customers pay for what they purchase. We review site responsibilities and agreement terms with you before installation.
What to ask a micro-market company
When comparing providers, look at the service behind the equipment. A useful proposal should explain who handles each part of the amenity and how your team gets help after opening day.
- Who plans the layout, installs the equipment and stocks the opening selection?
- How are stocking access and demand across different shifts reviewed?
- How can employees or residents request products?
- Where do shoppers ask about a receipt, payment or equipment issue?
- Which responsibilities, placement terms and any revenue share are confirmed in the agreement?
Plan local service around your property
Tap & Go serves workplaces and suitable properties in Greater Houston. Share the property location, daily users, shifts and access requirements when requesting a review so we can discuss coverage and an appropriate service arrangement.
We visit your property to assess the space. A request is the start of a conversation, not an automatic qualification or a guaranteed installation date.
