Sidobox runs smart fridges end to end: the hardware is HaHa, the stock and the site visits are ours, and the back office behind it is our own software, Maimava. Depending on what you bring, you can hand the whole thing to us or run it yourself on our rails.
Five ways to work with us — from lending us a corner for a revenue share, to owning a fleet with our systems behind it. Pick the one that matches what you have.
Four doors, one system behind them. If none of these quite fits, say so on WhatsApp and we'll work out which shape makes sense.
Lend us a corner in your gym, office, halls or hotel. We install, stock and run it; you take a share of every sale.
10% + £30/mo guaranteed I want to tradeLease a fridge from us or buy your own, and run the round as your business — with our stock routes, training and systems behind you.
Lease or buy I have fridgesAlready running HaHa fridges? Put Maimava behind them — sales, stock, costs, VAT records and host invoicing, without changing anything else.

Customer helpWhichever way you come in, the same machinery is underneath — because we built it for our own round first, and it is what makes the smaller sites worth doing at all.
The difference between them is only who owns the fridge, who restocks it, and who carries the trade. Everyone gets the same visibility over what their box is doing.
| Arrangement | You bring | We bring | You get | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hostwe operate | The corner, and a plug. | Fridge, stock, restocking, payments, insurance, food registration — everything. | 10% of net sales, minimum £30 a month guaranteed. Paid within 5 working days of month end. | Gyms, offices, student halls, hotels, launderettes. |
| Co-operateyour team restocks | The corner, and a pair of hands to refill it. | Fridge, stock, systems, compliance, and a login for whoever restocks. | A larger share than hosting, set per site against the work your team takes on. | Sites with staff already on the floor and steady footfall. |
| Leaseyou operate | Your time, and the sites you can win. | The fridge on a monthly lease, wholesale access, training, and the full back office. | The trade is yours. No capital tied up in hardware. | Anyone who wants a round of their own without buying machines. |
| Buyyou own outright | The capital, and the ambition. | Machines supplied through HaHa's UK distributor, configured and installed, plus the software and training. | You own the assets and every penny of the trade. | Operators building a fleet. |
| Software onlyyour fridges | HaHa fridges you already run. | Maimava on top: sales, stock, FIFO costs, VAT records, host invoicing, P&L. | Your operation unchanged, minus the spreadsheets. | Existing HaHa operators anywhere in the UK. |
Lease rates, machine prices and software pricing depend on the number of boxes and where they go, so we quote them in a conversation rather than printing a headline number nobody's site matches. What we will not do is model your earnings for you before we've seen the footfall — tell us about the site and we'll work it out together.
The industry's own floor is around a hundred employees before a micro-market stacks up. Ours is far lower, because the paperwork that usually eats the margin is automated.
We're in Bristol and restocking is a short drive, not a route van from another county. That's what makes a single box at a modest site worth serving.
Maimava tracks every sale to the item, costs it against the actual supplier invoice, keeps the VAT records, and produces the host's statement and self-billed invoice each month.
It's live software running our own fridge today — not a slide.
The cabinets are made by HaHa, who report more than 150,000 units in service worldwide with over 13,000 operators. We buy through their UK distributor and can supply partners the same way.
Food business registration, allergen and date-code discipline, VAT treatment per product, host self-billing. On the arrangements we operate it's simply ours; on the ones you operate we set it up with you.
Finding a good corner is the hard part of this business, so we built the tooling for it — venues scored on footfall, access and fit before anyone knocks on a door.
One box, live since June 2026, and a second wave of sites in progress. We'd rather tell you that than claim a fleet — everything above is either running today or supplied by a partner who has done it 150,000 times.
What you have — a site, time, capital, or fridges already running — and which of the five arrangements fits it. WhatsApp is usually fastest.
Footfall, access, power, the range that suits the crowd. You get our read on whether it works, including when the answer is that it doesn't.
One page of terms, an hour to install, and the box starts trading. Everyone with a stake in it gets a login showing exactly what it's doing.
A site, an idea, a fleet, or just a question — this reaches the person who runs it, not a call centre. Usually answered the same day.
Most of this is quicker said than typed. WhatsApp reaches the person who stocks the fridges.
