Business Description
Vendizone Berkeley operates from a prime, high-foot-traffic, strategic location near UC Berkeley, providing consistent daily exposure to students, locals, and visitors. The business benefits from a secure, established placement with strong visibility and steady demand.

The sale includes five fully operational, modern smart vending machines offering a flexible and diversified product mix, including snacks, beverages, hot food, and espresso-based coffee + matcha. This multi-machine setup allows for increased revenue potential and the ability to cater to a wide range of customer preferences throughout the day.

All machines are equipped with cashless payment systems (credit card, tap-to-pay, and mobile payments) and are cloud-based, allowing for remote access to monitor sales, track inventory, and manage operations in real time from anywhere. The equipment is well-maintained and set up for immediate continued operation.

The space also includes a dedicated back area with storage and a small office, ideal for inventory organization, restocking operations, or use as a business workspace. This added functionality provides flexibility for an owner-operator or for someone looking to utilize the space for additional business needs.

A security camera system with remote access is also included, providing added oversight, protection, and peace of mind for off-site management.

The current landlord has been supportive of the business and is open to working with a new owner to exercise a lease extension, providing added stability and long-term potential at this established location.

Also included in the sale:

All vending equipment and fixtures currently in use
Existing product setup and supplier relationships
Inventory on hand at time of sale
Branding and business name (VendiZone)
Operational know-how, including sourcing, pricing strategy, and restocking process

The business is turnkey and requires minimal space, with low overhead and no traditional buildout or staffing requirements. It is ideal for an owner-operator or as an addition to an existing vending or automated retail portfolio. Potential for growth and replication of concept.

Facilities & Assets
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully built, modern smart vending cafe concept located near UC Berkeley. The business features five automated vending machines, including a high-end hot pizza machine (original cost ~$50,000), all integrated into a 24/7 self-service retail model.

The infrastructure, equipment, and concept are fully in place. Due to limited owner availability, the business has not been actively optimized and is currently operating around break-even or with slight profits, no loss. This creates a strong opportunity for a new owner to step in, apply consistent management, and unlock its full potential
