A vending machine company called DailyBlends that provides healthy meal options in jars through strategic placement in hospitals and corporate locations. The business model focuses on institutional partnerships rather than general retail locations.

  • Ready-made with simple preparation (just add dressing and mix)
• Strategic Placement Strategy:
  • Target hospitals where healthy options align with institutional mission
  • Focus on corporate partnerships
  • Aim for locations where institutions want better food options for optics
• Business Model:
  • Central kitchen prepares all meals
  • Distribution team stocks vending machines across the city
  • Higher price point than traditional vending ($8 range)
• Competitive Advantage:

  • Fills institutional need for healthier vending options
  • Captures premium market willing to pay more for healthy meals

The model works by securing prime institutional placements where organizations are incentivized to provide healthier options, rather than competing for general retail locations where demand for healthy options may be lower.
