Is Canteen legit?
LegitPlenty of US break rooms run on Canteen, a real vending and office coffee company, but the machine in your building is run by a local branch or franchise. That split shapes any refund: the branch deals with cash, while a card payment is refunded through the card-reader company named on your statement.
What we checked
- Vending company since 1929
- Part of Compass Group North America
Watch out for
- A machine that kept your money and dropped nothing, where a refund request needs the machine number.
- A card payment at a machine showing up under a card-reader company's name instead of Canteen's.
- A purchase at a self-checkout break-room market, where refunds go through the local branch, not the card-reader company.

Canteen says its main corporate customer service department is open Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 4:30pm Eastern time. For a broken machine, a market purchase or a breakroom order, Canteen sends people to the local branch that services the building, and asks anyone unsure which branch that is to contact it through the website.

How do I get a refund from a Canteen vending machine?
A Canteen vending refund depends on how you paid. Canteen's FAQ says cash lost in a vending machine goes to the local branch, and so do purchases at an Avenue C or Smart Market. For a card or mobile-wallet payment at a vending machine, Canteen sends you to the card-reader company named on your statement: a USA Canteen Vending line goes to USA Technologies, now Cantaloupe, and a CMS Vend*CV line to Crane. The refund request on Canteen's Customer Service form asks for the machine number, the original payment and the amount, and pays out by Venmo, PayPal or eCheck.
Paid at a Canteen machine and got nothing? Bring it through our complaint process: we help you write the refund claim in minutes, with the machine, the payment and the statement line set out.
How do I report a broken Canteen vending machine?
To report a broken Canteen vending machine, contact the local Canteen branch that services your building: Canteen's FAQ says the branch handles machines that are not working, and the Customer Service form on the Canteen website has a service request option. Give the building and where the machine stands, the machine number and what is wrong, such as a coil that does not turn, a card reader that declines or a display error. Tell your facilities or office manager as well, because the workplace is usually Canteen's client.
