Free. No signup. Scored with the same algorithm we use in paid reports.
Every location is scored out of 100. Storefronts and public venues are scored on the five factors below. Factories and distribution sites get their own rubric, because what makes a plant a good spot has nothing to do with Google reviews. The same rubric runs on every location in a paid report, so scores are directly comparable between what you check here and what you buy.
Up to 25 points. Offices, hospitals, and universities score highest, then gyms, hotels, apartments, and government buildings.
Up to 25 points. Review volume acts as a public proxy for how many people actually pass through a location each day.
Up to 20 points, plus a bonus at 4.0 and above. Well-run businesses make more reliable long-term placement partners.
Up to 20 points. Whether the business is currently operating and whether there is a public way to contact a decision-maker.
A plant with 300 people on the floor can have eight Google reviews. So plants are scored on who is inside and when, not on stars.
Up to 25 points. Sites running around the clock or two shifts score highest. Night crews have nowhere else to buy food.
Up to 25 points. Manufacturers score highest, then wholesale and distribution.
Up to 30 points. Bigger sites score higher, using the headcount the plant reports to OSHA each year when it files one. Sites with no restaurants or convenience stores within half a mile score higher too.
Up to 20 points, same as every other location.
The score runs from 0 to 100. For storefronts and public venues it combines five factors: how well the business type matches proven vending venues, the location's Google rating, its review volume as a proxy for foot traffic, whether public contact information is available, and whether the business is currently operating. Factories and distribution sites are scored on their own set of factors built for workplaces: shift hours, site size, how much food is nearby, contact info, and operating status. Star ratings don't count for them, because nobody reviews the plant they work at. It's the same algorithm that scores every location in our paid reports. The one difference: for factories, this free check sizes the site from its reviews and counts nearby food as neutral, while a full report uses the headcount the plant reported to OSHA and looks up the food nearby.
Scores of 80 and above indicate excellent placement potential — typically hospitals, universities, busy gyms, or factories that run more than one shift. 65 to 79 is good, 50 to 64 is fair and worth a visit before committing, and below 50 suggests you'll likely find better options nearby. Most operators focus their outreach on locations scoring 70 or higher.
The strongest vending locations have a captive audience with limited food alternatives nearby, consistent daily foot traffic of 50 or more people, and a decision-maker you can actually reach. Offices with 50+ employees, factories and warehouses, hospitals, gyms, hotels, laundromats, and auto dealerships consistently outperform retail storefronts.
Yes. There's no signup, no email required, and no payment. You can score a handful of addresses per day. If you want to find the best locations in an entire market rather than checking one you already have in mind, that's what the paid location reports are for.
The free scorer shows your total score plus two of the factors that produced it. The full factor breakdown, along with contact details and outreach templates, comes with a location report. The score itself is never withheld or estimated — it's the real number.
The scorer evaluates one address at a time, so it's built for checking a spot you already have in mind — a gym you drive past, a building a friend mentioned. To discover locations you don't know about yet, a location report ranks the 50 to 300 highest-scoring venues within a 25 to 35 mile radius of any ZIP code.
