A smarter alternative to traditional vending
Open the door. Take what you want. Walk away.
An AI smart cooler works like a refrigerator with checkout built in. No buttons, no coils, no product codes. People grab a full lunch in one visit instead of feeding a machine one item at a time.
Traditional vending
- One item per purchase
- Codes, coils and stuck products
- Mostly chips, candy and soda
- Refund complaints land at your front desk
Phoenix AI smart cooler
- Several items in a single visit
- No buttons, coils or drop slots
- Fresh meals, breakfast, snacks and drinks
- Refunds handled directly by our team
How it works
Four steps. Checkout takes care of itself.
-
01
Tap to unlock
A credit card, debit card, Apple Pay or phone tap unlocks the door.
-
02
Open and choose
Items come straight off the shelf. A drink, a sandwich and a snack in one go.
-
03
AI recognizes the items
Built-in vision technology sees what was taken, and what was put back.
-
04
Close and go
The purchase completes when the door closes. No line, no cashier.
What's included
Everything is covered. Your cost is $0.
The people who use the cooler pay for what they take. That's how we earn, so your business never receives an invoice from us.

Product mix
Stocked for the people in your building
Direct shelf access means a much wider selection than a coil machine can hold. We plan the mix around what your people actually buy, and adjust it as we go.
If your team wants plantain chips instead of regular chips, that's what goes on the shelf.

Why Phoenix Refreshment Group
Smart equipment. Local, family-run service.
Robert DeNicola has spent more than 30 years in vending, starting in New Jersey before bringing the business to Fort Lauderdale. Phoenix is still run by Robert and his family, which means the people who install your cooler are the same people who answer when you call.
-
One accountable team
Installation, stocking, service and support all come from the same local crew. No hand-offs to a national call center.
-
Fast response
When something needs attention, we pick up the phone and send someone. Larger operators can take a week.
-
Refunds never reach your desk
Every cooler carries a text code. If a purchase goes wrong, the customer texts us and we refund them directly.

Is it really free for our business?
Yes. There's no charge for the cooler, installation, stocking, service or repairs. The people who use it pay for what they take.
How does Phoenix make money?
From product sales. That's why we work with locations that have steady daily traffic.
What does a location need to qualify?
Usually 100 or more people on site on a typical day, and a spot for the cooler near a power outlet. We confirm everything during the free evaluation.
We already have a vending provider. Can we switch?
Yes. Most of the locations we talk to already have a vendor. During the evaluation we look at your current setup and plan the switch around your schedule.
How quickly can it be installed?
Qualifying locations can be up and running in as little as 7 days, depending on equipment availability.
Can we choose what's stocked?
Yes. We start with a mix of fresh food, drinks and snacks, then adjust it based on what sells and what your people ask for.
Do you offer micro markets too?
Yes. For larger break rooms and lobbies, we also set up micro markets with open shelves and a self-checkout kiosk. We'll tell you which option fits your space during the evaluation.
Which areas do you serve?
Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties, from Jupiter to Miami, including Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and Weston.
