How it works
The hardware in the hallway. The fulfillment that keeps it stocked. The optional design feature that lets students drive the next drop. The revenue that comes back to the school.
A wrapped vending machine stocked with your school's standard spirit wear — hoodies, tees, caps, accessories. Tap to pay, grab from the locker. We install, service, and restock.
Standard spirit-wear inventory is manufactured, shipped, and restocked by us. Schools never hold inventory and never run a fundraiser. Revenue settles automatically.
Activate this and students submit designs through the app, vote on classmates' work, and watch winners get manufactured and added to the machine. Designers earn a royalty. Leave it off and just sell standard merch.
Your school earns from every sale — no order forms, no volunteers, no cafeteria-table fundraiser. When you turn on the design feature, students get paid for the work they already do.
Optional · A design drop cycle
When the school activates the design feature. Otherwise the machine just sells standard spirit wear on a normal restock cadence.
Students upload designs in the app. Templates and freeform both work.
Approved entries go to the leaderboard. Voting closes after 72 hours.
Winning designs go to print. POD for new SKUs, bulk for proven hits.
Inventory ships to the machine. Push notification: new drop just landed.
Nothing upfront. No purchase order, no capital expenditure, no budget approval needed. Revenue-sharing agreement only — your school keeps 30% of net profit, paid quarterly. Many schools authorize this without a board vote.
Locker Loot owns and insures the machine. If it's damaged, we handle replacement and repair at our cost — schools are not liable. Standard placement is in a supervised hallway or commons area.
Standard school spirit wear by default — hoodies, tees, caps, accessories from your approved lineup. If the school activates the optional design feature, top-voted student designs also get manufactured and added to the next restock.
No. The design feature is opt-in. Plenty of schools just want the vending machine selling their standard spirit wear, earning 30% per sale, with no design cycles to run. You can activate the feature later when you're ready.
Every submission runs through automated checks for inappropriate content, plus a human review by our team. School admins also have a final yes/no on every winning design before it gets manufactured.
About 30 days from a signed agreement to the first drop. That includes installation, student onboarding, and the first design submission window.
Yes. Winning designers earn a royalty on every unit sold. Payouts go to a parent-linked account or a digital gift card, depending on age and school preference.
We print on demand for new drops, so there's no overstock risk. Once a design proves it sells, we move it to bulk runs.
The machine stays in place and powers down through summer break. Drop cycles pause; the app keeps running so students can prep designs for the fall. We schedule a service visit before the first day back.
Standard 110V outlet plus reliable Wi-Fi (or we provision LTE if Wi-Fi is restricted). Total power draw is well under what a typical school vending machine uses.
Yes, with age-appropriate moderation. Elementary drops are admin-curated with student input rather than open voting; middle and high schools run full open submission and voting under school-admin approval.
Yes. Parents can disable submissions, voting, or purchasing for their student in the parent portal at any time. We honor the opt-out across all drop cycles.
