How Apartment Communities Can Add a 24/7 Resident Amenity for Free
Adding a new resident amenity doesn't always have to come with a large investment or another expense for the property.
A food & beverage mini market can give residents convenient access to drinks, snacks, and everyday essentials while the property provides the space and pays nothing for the equipment or operation.
A Simple Concept
APT Amenity Management provides the food & beverage mini market as a resident amenity.
APT owns the machine, installs it, stocks it, maintains it, and manages the market. The property simply provides suitable unused space within the community.
There is no equipment purchase for the property and no inventory to manage.
Residents purchase the products they want, and the property receives 10% of sales.
Why Residents Use It
The value of the market comes down to convenience.
If a resident wants a bottle of water, a drink, or a quick snack, they don't necessarily want to leave the community to get it. Having those products available on-site gives residents another everyday convenience right where they live.
The markets are available 24/7, so residents can use them whenever they need something.
We've also seen the market become part of the community itself. At one of our placements, we saw increased use of lounge and common areas after the market was installed.
What the Property Gets
The property gets more than just a machine.
It gets a modern resident amenity, an additional source of revenue, and a service that APT manages from beginning to end.
The property doesn't purchase the equipment, purchase inventory, or handle restocking and maintenance.
The revenue share can also be used by the property however it chooses.
How Long Does It Take?
The process is straightforward.
Once an agreement is in place, APT handles the rest. A typical installation takes about four weeks from agreement to operation, with the actual installation completed in about one day.
Once the market is operating, APT continues to manage it.
For apartment communities looking for a way to add something residents can actually use without spending money on another amenity, a food & beverage mini market can be a simple option.
