Streat

Underground vending for public spaces

Streat puts vending machines under the pavement, so cities get 24/7 snacks and drinks without bulky machines cluttering the street.

Public spaces deserve better than bulky machines

  • Visual clutter Conventional machines dominate sidewalks and plazas with large, appliance-like cabinets.
  • Sidewalk space Dense streets have little room left for wide kiosks without blocking walking routes.
  • Vandalism Exposed glass and stock invite damage, stickers, and after-hours misuse.
  • Weather Heat, sun, dust, and rain wear machines down and make them harder to keep presentable outdoors.

A slim street station. The rest stays underground.

Streat keeps the main vending system below the pavement. On the street, people only see a compact pickup station for browsing, paying, and collecting snacks and drinks.

The result is quieter streetscapes, a more protected system, and unattended retail that feels like city infrastructure—not another bulky appliance bolted to the sidewalk.

What cities and place owners gain

City value: Minimal Footprint, 24/7 Convenience, and Modern City Identity
Minimal Footprint — most of the system stays underground. 24/7 Convenience — essential products any hour without staffed infrastructure. Modern City Identity — a distinctive piece of urban infrastructure. Also: cleaner streets, less vandalism, and new city revenue.

Cleaner streets

Replace bulky cabinets with a slim station that respects the look of plazas, promenades, and campuses.

Less vandalism

With stock protected below street level, there is far less to graffiti, smash, or empty after hours.

New city revenue

Turn unused underground volume into a modest, ongoing retail opportunity for the city or site owner.

Places that want convenience without clutter

Built for municipalities, campuses, malls, transit hubs, and hotels—anywhere foot traffic is high and sidewalk space is scarce.
