Still the most popular of all food service systems ~ The familiar banks of vending machines provided, maintained, and stocked by Canteen offer a friendly place in which to pause during the work day.

Depending upon your requirements, this equipment can dispense hot and cold beverages, candy, sandwiches, frozen foods, and a broad assortment of other hot and cold foods. The route person assigned to you replenishes and cleans the equipment on a daily basis assuring your people of absolutely fresh, spotlessly clean wholesome refreshments.
Canteen's creative approach to full-line vending focuses on our extensive menu of fresh food that that we prepare in our own kitchen. We also feature these Canteen exclusives:
  • Restaurant brands - Blimpies® subs, Mamma Leone's® pizzas and dinner entrees, Au Bon Pain® soups, and Tony Roma's Rib sandwiches.
  • Oversized "Deli" sandwiches including our tasty "Daily Deli" selections.
  • Affordable luncheon sandwiches for customers looking for smaller portions.

We complement our fresh food with a wide array of choices like yogurt, bagels and muffins, carrot and celery sticks, regular and specialty milk selections like Nesquick, and many other items that rotate into our menus.  Great selection, quality fresh food, with valued pricing is our focus - 24 hours a day seven days a week - we guarantee it!


Canteen offers a wide variety of beverages including Pepsi and Coke products, Gatorade, Dole juices and bottled and flavored waters. Canteen's snack program offers a larger variety of national and local brands. We incorporate sensible snacks with our "Balanced Choices" snack program.
