Protein shake machines

Both machines run fully on their own. No staff needed.

People pick any flavor on the menu, plus add-ins, right on the touchscreen. The powder containers feed the mixer automatically, then the machine mixes the shake and serves it.

Countertop shake machine
Four powder containers. Fits a front desk or a stand.
Hybrid
Floor-standing. Hot and cold from one machine: fresh-ground espresso coffee, protein shakes, protein lattes and cappuccinos, milkshakes, and functional drinks like BCAA, L-carnitine and energy, plus sparkling lemonades with the optional carbonation module. Eight powder containers, six syrup containers and a coffee bean hopper keep a wide menu stocked, with room for about 340 cups. Members order on a 32-inch touchscreen and pay by tap, and QR codes work for loyalty sign-in and promo codes. The machine rinses itself with hot water on a schedule, and the lit glass panel shows the shake pouring as it's made and can glow in your colors. An optional snack module adds combos like a shake and a protein bar side by side.
  • Optional wrap in your branding
  • No cash for your staff to handle

Smart combo vending

Snacks and cold drinks in one unit.

People tap to open the door and grab what they want. Cameras recognize each item, and checkout runs automatically when the door closes. No coils, so nothing gets stuck. Run it on its own or next to a shake machine.

  • Built-in refrigeration
  • Grab several items in one visit
  • Available for gyms, alone or with a shake machine

Smart barista coffee

Fresh espresso drinks from a touchscreen.

People pick a drink on the screen, and the machine makes it to order. No barista needed. Run it on its own or next to your other machines.

  • Made to order on the spot
  • A fit for schools and campuses

Brandon Elton, founder of Fuel Bar Co.

Hi, I’m Brandon.

Exercise science taught me what the body needs after a workout. My shaker bottle taught me why I so often went without it. It was always somewhere else: on the counter at home, rolling around my car or sitting unwashed in the sink.

I was born in Beulah, North Dakota, and I’ve lived in Fargo for six years. Sports were a big part of growing up, and health is still my passion. I’ve learned the simpler something is, the more often it gets done, so Fuel Bar Company puts good nutrition right where people already are.

If you host a machine, your members get more out of what they already pay for. My job is to make the membership you sell worth a little more every time a member walks out the door, and a little harder to cancel.

Questions hosts ask.

Something else on your mind? Email [email protected].

Who restocks and cleans the machine?

We do. Our trained technicians restock and clean every machine we place, so your staff doesn’t have to touch it.

How often do you service it?

As needed. We monitor every machine remotely, and our technicians service it whenever it needs attention.

What happens if it breaks?

The machine reports its status to us remotely, so we often know about a problem before you do. Repairs and normal wear are on us, and the agreement spells out the exceptions, like damage from misuse.

How do payments work?

People pay at the machine by card or phone, so nobody on your staff handles cash. Your percentage of sales is paid monthly, with no invoices on your end.

How long is the agreement?

Our standard first term is 12 months, and it starts the day the machine goes live, not the day you sign. After that it runs month to month. New agreements also include a 90-day check-in where either side can walk away with nothing owed.
