Who we are

We’re building a better way to grab a snack.

Krate was born from a simple idea: vending should feel as fresh and inspiring as the products inside. No blinking lights. No mystery buttons. No stale candy bars.

We wanted something different, something better.

So we built it.

What We Do

Krate is a modern, smart vending solution using open-door coolers, stocked with a rotating selection of local snacks, drinks, and essentials. Each Krate is completely self-service, contactless, and designed to blend into the spaces people actually live and work in—offices, lobbies, co-working spaces, gyms, hotels, and more.

We offer businesses two powerful ways to use Krate:

  • As a wellness perk with our Krate ShopCard system (you give employees a monthly budget, we handle the rest)

  • As a revenue-sharing placement to add smart retail to your public space, effortlessly

     

Why We Started

We were tired of vending that felt outdated.

We love good design, fresh food, and giving local producers a bigger stage.

We believe small daily moments—like grabbing a cold drink or mid-day snack—should feel good, do good, and be ridiculously easy.

Our Promise

  • Local-first: We highlight emerging and regional brands.

  • Healthier by design: No sugar overloads or chemical cocktails.

  • Seamless experience: Tap. Grab. Go. No cash. No friction.

  • Sustainable mindset: Better products, smarter systems, less waste.

Meet the Team

We’re a small, scrappy, and growing crew based in the Netherlands. We’re designers, logistics thinkers, food lovers, and tech builders—obsessed with changing the way people snack at work, on the move, and everywhere in between.
