FAQ

Straight answers before you sign.

What if it breaks?

Apex Fuel handles repairs, remote monitoring, restocking, and machine uptime. Your staff are not expected to troubleshoot hardware.

What about hygiene and food safety?

The machine uses sealed ingredients, a self-cleaning hot flush cycle, controlled water chilling, and documented cleaning routines. We manage the compliance process.

What if sales are low?

There is no upfront cost to the gym. If a location does not perform, the 30-day exit clause keeps the arrangement simple.

Can I end the arrangement?

Yes. The agreement includes a plain 30-day exit process, subject to agreed notice terms.

Do I need to do anything daily?

No daily operation. We ask for floor space, power, reasonable access, and a light weekly exterior wipe-down.
