The Mission

Our mission is to make student life more convenient and stress-free by providing instant access to the essentials students often need at the most essential times — especially before or after a night out, when shops are closed. ResQBox installs smart vending machines near student dorms, campuses, and nightlife areas stocked with hygiene items, snacks, painkillers, hydration drinks, and hangover kits. Each machine uses data to restock based on demand and offers digital payments and student discounts. By combining convenience with smart tech and local partnerships, ResQBox ensures students always have what they need — anytime, anywhere.

The Challenge

Students often find themselves in urgent need of basic products at inconvenient times — for example, forgetting hygiene items, running out of snacks while studying late, or needing quick hangover cures after nights out. Traditional stores are often closed at those hours or too far away, leaving no immediate solution. There’s a clear gap in on-demand, accessible convenience for students living in dorms or near nightlife areas.

The solution

ResQBox fills this gap with smart vending machines that are strategically placed in student-heavy areas. Each machine is stocked based on local preferences (via sales data), offers contactless payment, and can display discounts or QR-based rewards redeemable at local bars or cafés. The result: fast access, tailored products, and a community-driven system that’s both profitable and beneficial for students and local businesses.
