Sec. 03 · Where we work
Three operations that never stop.
Free zones, hospitals and manufacturing share the same problem: people working when everything else is closed. Shifts, regulation and decision-makers differ — we adapt the location, the catalog and the protocol to each.

Your line doesn't stop. Neither do your people.
Free zones, hospitals and manufacturing plants run hundreds or thousands of people, rotating and night shifts, and strict mobility, security and hygiene controls. PIKKO installs smart vending islands inside the operation — where your people actually are — to sustain continuity 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, across Greater Santo Domingo, the East Region and the Central Cibao.

04.1 — Diagnosis
The 4 pain points of a 24/7 operation and how we solve them
We don't sell a machine: we deliver operational continuity, staff wellbeing and food-safety compliance — as true on a production floor as on a hospital ward.
Pain 01
Night and rotating shifts, 24/7
The problem
Corporate canteens, park cafeterias and hospital cafés close at night and on weekends, leaving shift B and C workers — and on-call staff — with no way to refuel.
PIKKO outcome
Continuous 24/7 service at no additional operating cost. Full coverage of night and weekend shifts with no canteen staff required.
Pain 02
Walking distances inside the facility
The problem
In 5,000 to 20,000 m² facilities — or across hospital floors and wings — reaching the central canteen takes 8 to 12 minutes round trip: it eats the entire break and delays the line or shift restart.
PIKKO outcome
Decentralization through micro refueling points: islands installed next to production modules, secondary break rooms, emergency areas or nursing stations.
Pain 03
Cash handling and checkout queues
The problem
Canteen queues and older machines that jam on bills and coins create crowding, lost time and complaints — critical where staff have minutes to spare or patients are waiting.
PIKKO outcome
Ultra-fast checkout and telemetry: digital payments (card, NFC, tPago, QR and corporate badge) with transactions under 5 seconds and real-time stock monitoring.
Pain 04
EHS, ISO, BRC and hospital hygiene requirements
The problem
Medical device, textile and electronics free zones — and health facilities all the more — are highly rigorous about pest control, waste handling and food contact.
PIKKO outcome
Clean, turnkey operation: enclosed units, sealed packaging, compliance with food-safety standards and maintenance under industrial protocol.

04.3 — Stakeholders
We speak each team's language
In a free zone the decision isn't made in a single office. Here's what each stakeholder gains.
Operations & Plant
Less downtime per break, on-time line restart and full shift coverage without adding staff or infrastructure.
HR & EHS
A tangible always-available corporate benefit: hydration, balanced nutrition and documented food-safety compliance.
Medical Direction & Administration
On-call staff with access to food and hydration without leaving the facility, and a better-served waiting room for patients and companions.
Facilities & Park Management
Zero maintenance load: enclosed unit, service under industrial protocol and an approved convenience-services vendor.
Our proposition in one line
“We optimize your operation's efficiency by keeping your people fed and hydrated 365 days a year. We install smart vending islands inside your plants, facilities and health centers with no capital investment and no load on your Facilities team, with stock monitored by telemetry and 100% coverage of your night shifts and weekends.”
Pilot program, no commitment
One machine, 30 to 60 days, zero risk to your operation.
We install a pilot unit in your main facility, your waiting room or the night-shift break area. We measure usage rate, consumption mix and staff satisfaction — and you decide on real data, not on a promise.

Sec. 05 · The process
From first visit to first sale.
A short, frictionless process for your team: we handle the site survey, the installation and the entire operation.
STEP 01
Site survey
We visit your plant or office, map staff flows by shift and propose the points where a vending island removes walking time.
STEP 02
Location agreement
We define locations, access and EHS protocol with Facilities. Flexible contract, clean exit and zero capital commitment on your side.
STEP 03
Installation and pilot
We only need 1 m² and a 110V outlet. We start with a 30 to 60 day pilot to measure real consumption per shift before scaling.
STEP 04
Operation and data
Telemetry triggers restocking before stock runs out. You get consumption reports; your team gets zero extra tasks.
Sec. 06 · For your operation
Three reasons your operation wins.
This isn't one more vending machine in the hallway: it's a managed service measured in continuity, employee experience and zero administrative risk.
Higher productivity
Cuts the downtime caused by staff leaving the site to buy food or drinks. Increases your teams' operational continuity by keeping refueling inside the work perimeter.
Touchless technology
Digital checkout in under 5 seconds with card, NFC, tPago and QR — no cash, no queues. Real-time telemetry keeps machines stocked, even at shift peaks.
Zero risk · turnkey
A high-value corporate benefit without committing CAPEX or OPEX budget and without adding tasks to your internal staff. We install, restock, maintain and respond.
Comms
Internal communication screen
Use it free for EHS notices, industrial safety, HR campaigns or plant announcements — a channel that reaches every worker on their break.
Facilities
Zero load on your team
PIKKO handles inventory, restocking, equipment cleaning and maintenance under industrial protocol. None of your staff involved.
Data
Telemetry and per-shift reports

A catalog for every shift.
Each vending machine carries more than 60 selections, tuned to your operation. On the plant floor we prioritize hydration drinks, high-energy snacks and substantial portions for long shifts; in hospitals, balanced options and coffee for on-call staff; in the office, lighter and fit alternatives.

Sec. 10 · Frequently asked questions
What plants, hospitals and free zones ask us.
The questions Operations, HR, EHS, Medical Direction and Facilities raise before the first PIKKO island goes in.
Yes — it is our primary focus. We install vending islands inside the facility, near production modules and secondary break rooms, so staff don't lose their break walking to the central canteen. We cover rotating, night and weekend shifts.
Yes — it is one of our three primary focus areas, alongside free zones and manufacturing. A health facility never closes: on-call staff, patients and their companions need options at any hour. We install in waiting rooms, emergency areas and nursing break rooms, with a balanced catalog, enclosed units and a hygiene protocol compatible with the facility's infection-control policies.
We run our own routes across Greater Santo Domingo, the East Region (San Pedro de Macorís, La Romana, Hato Mayor and La Altagracia) and the Central Cibao (Santiago, La Vega, Moca and Bonao). Outside these routes we assess case by case, based on headcount.
Yes. We operate with enclosed units, sealed packaging and an industrial maintenance protocol: pest control, waste handling and food-safety standards. In health facilities we also align with the institution’s hygiene and infection-control protocols. We coordinate access, restocking windows and safety inductions with your EHS and Facilities teams. The PDF data sheet documents all of this for your vendor file.
Yes. We install a pilot unit for 30 to 60 days in your main facility or in the night-shift break area. We measure usage rate, per-shift consumption mix and staff satisfaction, and you decide on real data before scaling to more points.
Our machines accept cash, card, NFC/contactless, tPago and QR, with transactions under 5 seconds. Corporate NFC badge or payroll-balance integration is scoped per project, depending on your systems.
Investment and installation cost for your company is US$ 0. We operate a free managed-service model: we supply the machine, install it, maintain it and keep it stocked with no monthly charges to the organization.
Roughly 1 m² of floor space, a standard 110V / 550W outlet and steady foot traffic — ideally 150 employees or 50 daily visitors per point.
Our technical team performs preventive and corrective maintenance proactively. Remote monitoring lets us detect anomalies before they affect the operation, minimizing downtime.
