Clerk replaces the aisles inside your existing convenience store with modular smart-store units, every item secured behind glass and machine-dispensed after payment.
Most convenience stores are single-location businesses. They staff a counter all day, go dark overnight, and absorb shrink they can't see.
Labor is the biggest controllable cost, and it caps the hours you can afford to be open.
Late-night demand doesn't disappear. It goes to whoever stayed open.
Theft, miscounts and unrecorded sales quietly erode margin, usually unseen.
You keep the location, the customers and the margin. The hours stop costing you anything.
Configured to the footprint you already have, whatever shape the aisles used to be.
Pick the modules your neighborhood buys from, then add or swap them as demand changes. Seven categories cover everything the old aisles held.
Refrigerated water, energy, soda and ready-to-drink coffee, with temperature reported to the platform.
Everything the traditional aisles held: chips, candy, grocery staples, personal care and the things people run out for at midnight.
Nicotine, alcohol and other age-gated products, sold only after verified ID, with compliance handled by us.
Sandwiches, salads, wraps and fruit, date-tracked by the platform and rotated on every restock.
A robotic barista behind glass: bean-to-cup espresso and a tea selection, poured on demand.
Scratch-offs dispensed after verified ID, with the same compliance handling as the restricted counter.
Every module carries a screen up top, always on: brand campaigns, delivery-app promos and what's in stock, at the point of purchase.
Every module reports to one cloud platform, and the four things a manager used to watch are watched for you.
Live stock levels from every module. Nothing sells out unnoticed.
Set rules by hour, category or campaign. Every screen updates at once.
Temperature, door, payment and dispense health, with faults flagged before a customer notices.
Restock lists built from what actually sold, by module and by hour. Clerk-supplied inventory: coming soon.
Brands buy placement next to the product itself, in every store on the network.
Shrink goes to zero because there is nothing to take.
Part of the monthly subscription, sized to your store, for owners who want Clerk to bring the customers, not just serve them.
We run the store's Google listing, reviews, social and local promotions so the neighborhood finds it. A marketing team, without hiring one.
We onboard the store to delivery apps and keep menus synced to live inventory, so nothing sells that isn't on the shelf.
Customers pay online and pick up from the module. No marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
Two revenue relationships in one store: the owner's, and the brands' on the owner's screens and shelves.
Modular units configured for your footprint, installed and maintained by our team. The hardware is paid upfront; after that it's a small monthly subscription tailored to what your store needs. Your sign stays yours; a small “powered by Clerk” mark is all we ask.
Included in the subscription, with updates and support for as long as the store runs on Clerk.
Optional tier on the same subscription; add it when you want Clerk bringing customers, drop it when you don't.
Brands pay for the screens; a share of that revenue goes back to the store owner.
Aggregated, anonymized sell-through data licensed to CPG brands, with the owner sharing in the revenue.
I didn't start with a slide. I started with a fleet of machines, a warehouse and a restock route, and built the store I wished I could buy.
Clerk is built by an operator, not a committee. Micah founded and runs CloudStation, a profitable smart-vending company, and Clerk is the store he kept wishing he could sell his own customers.
A profitable operator of smart vending machines in nightlife, hospitality and retail venues, the proving ground for everything in a Clerk store.
Machines in the field on multiple continents, with the logistics and support to keep them running.
Overseas manufacturing relationships and a field crew that has installed and serviced machines at scale. You keep your suppliers and your restock routine; Clerk-supplied inventory is next on the roadmap.
ID-verified nicotine sales across dozens of machines, with the licensing, insurance and audit trail already in place.
We review your existing floor plan, foot traffic and product mix, and recommend which aisles become modules.
ConsultationChoose the modules, the categories and the payment and verification options. We handle permits, insurance and compliance.
DesignOur team removes the old shelving, installs the modules, connects them to the platform and loads the opening inventory.
InstallationWe monitor and maintain the modules; you keep stocking the products you already sell, guided by the dashboard.
