Home / About Us
hi, we're tap and takeThe corner store, rebuilt for right now.
We're a forward-thinking, fast-moving San Diego company that uses the latest technology to make shopping frictionless. Our AI-assisted smart coolers and self-checkout micro markets bring snacks and drinks to apartments, offices, and gyms, free for the places that host them.
Grabbing a snack shouldn't be a chore.
You know the routine. The vending machine that swallows your dollar. The breakroom that's picked clean by midweek. The drive across town for one cold drink. We figured the people in our buildings deserved better, and the technology to make it better had finally arrived.
So we built Tap and Take around one simple promise: tap your card, open the door, take what you want, and go. Behind the scenes, smart tech and a local team keep every cooler stocked, running, and fresh.
Make everyday shopping frictionless for everyone in the buildings we serve, with the latest technology and a whole lot of neighborly care.
The latest tech, working quietly in the background.
You'll never have to think about any of it. That's the point.
AI-assisted checkout
Vision tech recognizes what you take off the shelf, so checkout happens on its own. No scanning, no cashier.
Cashless tap-to-pay
Tap a card to unlock the door. Nothing to download, nothing to sign up for, no cash to dig for.
Remote monitoring
Every cooler checks in with our team, so we can keep an eye on inventory and spot machine issues without a site visit.
Data-driven restocking
Real sales data tells us what your people love. We restock around it and rotate in new favorites.
