Canteen is the largest unattended retail provider in the US, built around the workplace: vending, micro markets, coffee and dining for offices, campuses, hospitals and plants. Modern Amenities is built for properties: apartments, hotels, gyms and student housing, at no cost to the owner and with a share of every sale.
Canteen figures are quoted from Canteen's own pages, read October 1, 2026. Numbers link to their source.
Each criterion is scored 1 to 5 from what each company publishes. 5 means the claim is specific and public; a criterion we cannot verify for a competitor scores 3, not 1.
