The lead time for a micro market can be dependent on the size of your micro market and the number of machines you take out. Smaller coffee machine stations for an office may take only a few weeks to install, whilst a large micro market with bespoke branded housing units, multiple machine types and payment options can take around 2 -3 months to achieve based on your needs.

We understand not all offices have the space to incorporate a full break-out area for their staff. Which is why with a bespoke office micro market, we create a market to fit any wall space that you have available. As long as you have an unoccupied wall in the building to use, we can help you to create a custom solution that works around you.
Micro markets tend to work best for businesses with over 100 staff members on site that have an unoccupied wall to use, a dedicated break room or staff kitchen area.
