Mfarhanonline Social Media News: The Spark of Genius Series highlights a unique feature of startups and is made possible by Microsoft BizSpark . If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here . Name: Snack&Munch Quick Pitch: Snack&Munch is a snack delivery service for your office, college, or anywhere else. Genius Idea: An online vending machine for monthly snack delivery. Sure, your office break room is likely outfitted with a run-of-the-mill vending machine, but those machines are far from reliable. They often run out of your favorite snacks just when you want them most, and they’ll sometimes eat up your change and not spit out your snack. Perhaps Snack&Munch can better satisfy your office snack cravings. The newly launched startup, founded by brothers Farooq and Ammar Yousuf, serves as an online vending machine and lets users build a custom 24-piece snack pack they can have delivered to any home or office address in the United States. Snacks are of the common vending machine variety, though there are more than 250 options spanning seven categories: breakfast, candy, cookies, chips and crackers, gum and mints, nuts, and international. Snack packs cost $24 per pack, and shipping is free. Users also have the option of setting up a monthly plan for reoccurring deliveries and will receive a $1 off discount should they choose to do so. Obviously, Snack&Munch won’t be an immediate solution to your afternoon snack attack, but it could be a more reliable option if you’re prone to candy and/or chips cravings. And if you’re asking yourself, “Wouldn’t it just be cheaper to stop by Costco and pick up snacks at wholesale prices?” the answer is yes. But as most of us who order delivery food know, there’s something to be said (and a price to be paid) for the c! onvenien ce of having items delivered to your doorstep. We suspect the “lazy tax” applied to Snack&Munch goodies will be far from unappetizing for most. Check it out, and let us know what you think in the comments.
