Clerk replaces the aisles inside your existing convenience store with modular smart-store units, every item secured and machine-dispensed, run by a cloud platform that handles inventory, pricing, diagnostics and restocking.
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.
Every product is secured in a module and dispensed after payment. You keep the location, the customers and the margin, and stop paying for hours.
Each module senses its own stock, verifies the sale and reports to the platform the moment a door opens, whatever shape the aisles used to be.
A Clerk location is a set of smart-store modules, each one a secured, machine-dispensed unit with its own screen, payments and inventory sensing. Combine them to fit the footprint and the neighborhood, then add or swap modules as demand changes.
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.
Bean-to-cup coffee and a tea selection, brewed on demand at the module, with no counter to staff.
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. It's the clerk that never clocks out: it knows what's in stock, what to charge, when a module needs attention, and what to load on the next restock run.
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, watched around the clock.
Restock lists built from what actually sold, by module and by hour. Clerk-supplied inventory: coming soon.
Brands reach the shopper at the exact moment of purchase, on every module, in every store on the network, with placement next to the product being promoted.
The door only opens after payment clears, and the platform logs the sale the moment it does.
An optional monthly service for store 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.
Each store gets an ordering site tied to real-time inventory; customers pay online and pick up from a secured module. No commission, and the customer stays yours.
Owners get a store that runs without a counter. Brands get the shelf and the screen in front of the customer, and the data behind the sale.
Modular units configured for your footprint, installed and maintained by our team. Your sign stays yours; a small “powered by Clerk” mark is all we ask.
The software that runs the store day and night: inventory, pricing, diagnostics, analytics and restock planning.
Marketing and SEO, delivery-app onboarding and a 24/7 online ordering storefront, run for the store as a monthly service.
A screen on every module at the moment of purchase, across a network of always-open stores.
SKU-level sales by store, module and hour, as it happens. Big-retailer visibility for the convenience channel.
We didn't start with a slide. We started with a fleet of machines, a warehouse and a restock route, and built the store we wished we could buy.
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, compliance and support to keep them stocked and running.
Overseas manufacturing relationships and a field team that has installed and serviced machines at scale. You keep your suppliers and your restock routine; Clerk-supplied inventory is next on the roadmap.
Advertising and exclusive product partnerships have run on our machines for years. The retail media network isn't a plan, it's a practice.
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.
InstallationYour store reopens without a counter. We monitor and maintain the modules; you keep stocking the products you already sell, guided by the dashboard.
