Canteen of Northern California, a convenience services operator serving Sonoma, Napa and Marin counties, has deployed Cantaloupe's vending and micro market technology alongside the integration of its Seed software platform into its operations, according to a press release.

A Canteen franchise, Canteen of Northern California operates approximately 550 to 560 vending machines and 20 micro markets.

The transition to Cantaloupe's products and services started in October 2022 and includes a complete changeover to Cantaloupe's G11 card readers, the implementation of the Seed Pro vending management system and the replacement of previous micro market equipment with the Cantaloupe Go line of kiosks. Additionally, CNC is working to add Cantaloupe's Cooler Café in certain locations.

"What really sold us was Cantaloupe's remote price change feature within Seed, which set Cantaloupe apart from competitors and helped us address an urgent need to be able to manage prices and inflation impacts efficiently and effectively," Shaun Dayton, operations manager of Canteen of Northern California, said in the press release.
