We are aware of an issue currently blocking devices from being able to properly start up and load the Snackpass software. We've identified that the root cause is due to an outage at Esper, the device management software company that we partner with for our Snackpass devices. For now, if your device is not affect, please do NOT restart it. For affected devices, please let it continue to load. Once Esper resolves the outage on their end, the device should start properly with a reboot. We are actively in communication with them to reach an expedited solution soon. We truly apologize for the inconvenience and deeply appreciate your understanding.
