$7.50 per $30 sale to you
Built for nightclubs, dive bars, and late-night venues. You keep 25% of every sale — we own the machine, stock it, service it, and carry all the compliance. It never touches your liquor licence.
$0 to install · you keep 25% · cancel in 30 days and we remove it, free
How it actually works
Most venue equipment proposals get vague about who does what. Here it is in two columns. No fine print, no surprises.

Going live
No build-out, no downtime, no learning curve. Here is the entire process, start to finish.
Tell us about your venue. We confirm it's a fit and answer anything — no pressure, no paperwork yet.
We mount the machine behind your bar in about 30 minutes. One 120V outlet, roughly 30 inches of wall. We own it and maintain it.
The same 19+ ID check they already do, an unlock on a small remote, hand it over, relock. About 30 seconds per sale.
You keep 25% at your POS. We reconcile monthly and handle all compliance and restocking. Cancel any time on 30 days notice.

Compliance
Every aspect of the operation is structured under federal and Ontario regulatory requirements. The venue is a designated agent under the Smoke-Free Ontario Act — Cho's is the licensed seller and carries the regulatory load.
Federally compliant products. Bilingual packaging. Excise-duty stamped. Single SKU. Product specifics shared with licensed venue operators on request.
Staff-operated only. The machine is inert without an RF unlock from venue staff. Compliant with Section 10(2)(b) of the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017.
Mint and tobacco flavours only. No fruit, no candy, no flavour-restricted SKUs.
19+ verified at the POS. Handled by venue staff using the AGCO age-check process already in place at every licensed Ontario establishment.
Registered Ontario corporation, HST-registered with the CRA, operating in good standing.
Public-health engagement. Cho's Vending operates under written guidance from Ontario public health authorities under the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017. Every regulatory deliverable is on file.
Venue exposure: zero. Cho's is the licensed principal seller and the designated party on every regulatory filing and inspection. Under the SFOA agency model, the indemnity flows from Cho's to the venue — not the other way around. The venue's only role on the regulatory side is the same 19+ ID check the bar already performs at the POS for every other age-restricted product.

About
Cho's Vending Inc. is an Ontario corporation built to do one thing exceptionally well: deploy staff-operated vape vending into licensed bars and nightclubs the right way, with the regulatory paperwork in place from day one. Founded in 2026 and led by Ryan Cho, our team manages installation, stocking, compliance, and reporting end-to-end across the province.
Your venue gets the revenue without inheriting the regulatory work. The staff-operated agency model under SFOA s.10(2)(b) is the structure that makes that possible — it puts every compliance obligation on us, and the legal architecture is built before the machine arrives. Our model is on file with Toronto Public Health, and we're engaged with Region of Waterloo Public Health on our Kitchener-Waterloo deployment. That's the part your team never has to think about.
