The honest questions, answered straight

Pricing depends on the model. Manna Doppio Ice is a separate smart kiosk with a built-in ice maker. Request access through the site to see the full lineup and a personalized quote.

Most kiosks net $800–1,200 per month in their first year. That figure is what is left after supplies, payment-processing fees, and the monthly license — based on roughly 30–50 cups a day at about $3.75 a cup.

The illustrative economics table compares payback for Doppio and Solo at different traffic levels. Payback depends on the model, program and location; a slow location can stretch past 24 months, when relocating the kiosk may help.

A realistic return is 50–80% annual ROI on the capital you put in, calculated as net monthly profit times twelve, divided by the kiosk price. Manna's marketing has quoted higher; the conservative 50–80% range is what holds up when you run the numbers honestly.

Plan on roughly 3–8 hours per kiosk per week — restocking, light cleaning, and the occasional small fix. Most operators handle it in two visits.

No — it is a real small business that needs your attention, not hands-off income. The work is light and predictable, but a kiosk still needs restocking and cleaning, and you are responsible for keeping it running well.

No prior coffee or retail experience is required. The kiosk grinds, brews, and guides you through cleaning itself, and you get onboarding and training as part of the license.

Look for steady foot traffic — roughly 200 or more people passing each day — power for your model (120V for Solo, Doppio and Doppio Ice or 208V for Grande), and a host who genuinely wants the kiosk there. Hospitals, medical offices, hotel lobbies, gyms, and Class-A office lobbies tend to perform well.

You still earn, just more slowly, and because a kiosk is portable it can be moved. A slow spot often improves after the first month once the menu, pricing, or signage is adjusted; the rest can be relocated.

Yes — every kiosk is portable; relocating one mostly costs the move itself.

The monthly license covers the operating system, payment processing, remote monitoring, software updates, and human support. Onboarding and training are included so you are not left to figure the kiosk out alone.

Remote monitoring catches most issues early, and a regional technician is dispatched for anything that needs hands-on attention. Software-fixable problems are pushed remotely, so many fixes need no visit at all.

You choose your own suppliers — there are recommended roasters in each region, but you are not locked into them. Many partners use a local specialty roaster for the branding it brings.

It is a straightforward license. You pay a monthly license for the operating system, payment infrastructure, monitoring, and support, with no royalty on your sales and no recurring percentage fee taken on revenue.

It covers the operating system, payment processing, remote monitoring, software updates, and human support. It does not include consumables, and there is no royalty taken on your revenue.

Yes — the kiosk is yours to own and to sell. You operate under your own company, and if you ever decide to move on, the kiosk can be resold and the new operator signs a fresh license.

Production takes 30–40 days from order depending on the model, with kiosks built in Miami. Solo and Doppio plug into a standard 120V outlet; Doppio Ice runs on 120V; Grande needs a 208V commercial line. No plumbing is required.
