Getting Started
Working with us, install timing, and what to expect.
We serve apartment complexes, senior living communities, hospitals and urgent care facilities, gyms, manufacturing plants, auto shops, offices, warehouses, schools, and 24-hour facilities — anywhere with steady foot traffic that could benefit from on-site snacks, drinks, or specialty machines.
We cover Snohomish & Skagit County — Everett, Lake Stevens, Monroe, Marysville, Arlington, Stanwood, Burlington, Sedro-Woolley, and Camano Island. If you're nearby and not on the list, ask us — we can usually accommodate.
Standard install window is two weeks from signed agreement. Most placements happen within 7–10 days. We respond to quote requests within 24 hours.
No hidden multi-year lock-ins. Our agreements are simple, transparent, and built around what works for both sides. If we're not earning your business, we don't deserve it.
Request a quote with a few details about your space — building type, headcount, traffic. We'll respond within 24 hours and set up a site visit if it's a fit.
Our Machines
AI smart coolers, micro markets, biometric tobacco, and traditional vending.
Our AI smart machines (powered by HAHA Vending and PicoCooler Vision) use computer vision to identify products as they're taken from the cooler. You tap your card or phone to unlock, grab whatever you want, and the door closes — you're charged automatically for what you took. No buttons, no spirals, no jams.
A Micro Market is an open self-serve setup with shelves, coolers, and a self-checkout kiosk. Customers browse like a small convenience store, scan their items at the kiosk, and pay with card, phone, or app. Best for break rooms with 75+ employees.
Yes. All current-generation machines we install meet ADA accessibility guidelines for reach, control height, and operation.
All of our modern machines accept credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. Many also support cash, and our AI smart and VapeTM machines integrate with Nayax for secure cellular payments.
Yes — we can apply custom wraps, your logo, or your brand colors to most of our equipment. Ask us during the quote process if branded machines are important for your space.
Service & Support
Restocking, repairs, products, and how to reach us.
Standard cadence is weekly. High-volume locations get visited more often. Our smart machines transmit real-time inventory data, so we know what's running low before you do.
Absolutely. We tailor every machine's product mix to your space, demographic, and feedback. If your team wants a specific brand or product added, we add it. Healthy options, energy drinks, niche snacks — we accommodate.
Call or email us — we usually respond within an hour during business hours, including weekends if needed. We've had multiple instances where someone on our team was on-site within an hour of a service call. We also reimburse customers directly when a machine fails to dispense.
Email us at customer.service@terharfamilyvending.com or call (425) 359-3204. You'll reach the people who actually own and run the company — not a call center.
