A fully managed Micro Market inside your building — available 24/7 where building access allows.
Food, drinks and everyday essentials in an open self-service space we install, stock and run for you, available 24/7 where building access allows. Under the standard managed-service model, your facility team does not operate the market. We do.
Based in Sofia and serving offices, business centres, coworking spaces and modern buildings in other parts of Bulgaria as well.
What is a Micro Market?
A Micro Market is a small, open shop inside your own building. It operates without the need for a permanent cashier or on-site attendant. People walk up, take what they want from the shelves and chillers, pay at a self-checkout and go back to work.
It replaces the idea of a machine in the corridor with something closer to a small convenience store: real shelves, a real chiller, a visible assortment and room for fresh food that a vending machine cannot hold.
- Open and self-service — nothing is hidden behind glass
- Available 24/7, including night shifts and weekends, where building access allows
- Cashless checkout, no queue, no cashier
- Installed, stocked and serviced entirely by Chill&Bite
What people find there
The assortment is built for the building it sits in and adjusted as we learn what people actually buy.
Fresh and chilled food
Ready meals, sandwiches, salads, yoghurt and fruit, where the site and the volume support daily freshness.
Snacks
Sweet and salty, everyday options alongside lighter and higher-protein alternatives.
Drinks
Water, soft drinks, juices, energy and chilled options in the cold section.
Coffee
A coffee point can be part of the same space, or run separately, depending on what the building already has.
Everyday essentials
The small things people leave the building for — where there is demand for them.
Not every category is available at every location. The final assortment depends on the size of the site, the number of people and how the space is used.
Simple for your people. Managed on our side.

What sells stays, what does not sell is replaced. The assortment keeps changing with the building.
Chill&Bite manages the whole service.
The point of a Micro Market is that it does not become another thing for your office or facility team to run.
- Assortment planning for the specific site
- Procurement and supplier relationships
- Replenishment and delivery
- Merchandising and product rotation
- Cashless payments and checkout equipment
- Operational monitoring of sales, stock and equipment
- Support for users and for your facility team
- Ongoing optimisation based on what the site actually consumes
You provide the space and the people. We provide and run the market.
Micro Market or vending machine?
Both have their place. The difference is mostly about what the format can physically hold and how it is managed.
| Micro Market | Traditional vending | |
|---|---|---|
| Assortment | Broad — shelves and chillers hold many more lines | Limited by the number of spirals and slots |
| Fresh food | Possible where the site supports daily freshness | Rarely practical |
| Experience | Open, shop-like, products can be picked up and read | Selection through glass and a keypad |
| Flexibility | The assortment can be changed quickly | Changes are constrained by the machine layout |
| Replenishment | Managed on a schedule based on real consumption | Often route-based |
| Optimisation | Sales data informs what stays and what goes | Varies by operator |
A vending machine can still be the right answer for a small site or a specific location inside a building. We will say so if that is the case.

Better operations behind every Micro Market.
Our own operational technology is what allows one team to keep many sites stocked, clean and working. It supports the service — it is not something your people need to learn.
Sales and stock visibility
We see how each site is performing and what it is running out of.
Replenishment decisions
Restocking is planned around real consumption rather than a fixed route.
Field operations
MicroOps™ gives our on-site team its daily tasks, checks and confirmations.
Service monitoring
Equipment and service issues are picked up and handled, with QR Support™ available at the market itself.
The technology sits behind the counter, so to speak. What your people see is a shop that is stocked and working.
