Multifamily proptech company has hand-selected Fontana Coffee & Tea to be its exclusive roaster partner in the Orlando and Tampa markets.
Chicago - (September 21, 2023) SipWithMe is now available in Orlando and Tampa, enabling multifamily properties to provide residents a bean-to-cup amenity featuring locally roasted coffee beverages from Fontana Coffee & Tea.
SipWithMe has been elevating resident coffee in properties across the country since 2021. SipWithMe devices feature locally sourced, craft roasted coffee beans and can brew more than 20 roast-to-order beverages, each ready in under 60 seconds. Residents have the ability to customize and order drinks through their electronic devices or using the machine’s built-in HD screen.
As SipWithMe’s exclusive roaster partner, Fontana will be supplying devices in Orlando and Tampa with three different hand-selected blends.
“Fontana Coffee & Tea’s dedication to quality control and product consistency will ensure our devices are always dispensing the barista-quality beverages for which we are known,” says Jim Carbone, vice president of operations for WithMe, Inc., parent company of SipWithMe. “Additionally, the urgency and great care with which they deliver their products will help us fulfill our commitment to offer our partners expert inventory management and support.”
Fontana Coffee & Tea sources its beans from the top 1% of estate coffee farms owned by the farmers themselves. Because they are focused on quality at every level, they support growers, customers and everyone else along the chain by conforming to standards that promote fair trade and economic opportunity for all. As a weekly ritual, they do cupping to taste for nuances in the coffees and to identify the rich, ideal roast. This helps ensure high levels of roast quality.
“We are excited to see the growth in this partnership and to have the opportunity to serve our freshly roasted coffee throughout Orlando and Tampa,” says Alex Urbina, Fontana Coffee & Tea’s director of operations. “We are local to Orlando and always eager and happy to serve our products locally.

Every year, Multifamily Leadership hosts the Multifamily Women Summit, a transformative two-day conference designed to help female multifamily leaders strengthen their networks, expertise and influence.
Women on the WithMe leadership team had the opportunity to attend this year’s conference in Phoenix, and they left with several valuable pieces of wisdom and inspiration.
It’s time to get back to the basics.
The multifamily industry is experiencing implementation fatigue after deploying a wild array of technologies, services and solutions in a desperate attempt to navigate the “new normal” and the unknowns caused by the pandemic.
Now, trying to understand what to keep, what to get rid of and what to add is an exhausting game. It's time to get back to the basics. At the end of the day, the ultimate goal should be to drive value for residents.
Ready or not, AI is coming.
There are big concerns and scary realities involved with the emergence of AI, but when leveraged correctly, it can be used to enhance experiences. To make the technology less intimidating, be proactive in educating yourself about it and uncovering the best ways to utilize it in your unique situation.
To take things to the next level and drive the results you’re totally capable of, you need to push boundaries, be creative, be innovative and play.
"You've gotta go slow to go fast."
It’s important to take the time to slow down, train your team, define terms and get on the same page. In the moment, it may feel tedious, but it pays dividends to be able to run fast once you’re out of the gate.
We’re all in this together.
Conferences like Multifamily Women provide an important reminder that multifamily is a rare and unique industry. At the end of the day, everyone is kind and willing to help each other out. Many people have accidentally stumbled their way into it, but once you get into multifamily, you stay in multifamily because the people are unmatched. Whenever you feel alone or overwhelmed, remember help and support are always a phone call, text or social media message away.
Building community is more important than ever.
Our country is facing an “Epidemic of Loneliness.” The Surgeon General reports that 1 in 2 American adults report experiencing loneliness - and that was well before the pandemic forever changed the world.
And loneliness is far more than just a bad feeling. It increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety and even premature death.
Suffice it to say, residents are craving connectedness. They want to feel like their walls are not merely a place to sleep, but a place they can truly call home.
At the end of a lease, the feeling of belonging and connectedness typically carries more weight than the rate itself when making the decision to renew.
Shared amenities can be incredibly powerful community-building tools. They encourage resident interaction and can become the focal point of events and social gatherings. If you’re looking to level up your amenities, the team at WithMe is here to help you not only find the right solutions for your property, but to help you utilize them to bring your residents together and strengthen your community.
Multifamily proptech company hires renowned sales leader to support rapid growth.
Chicago - (September 18, 2023) WithMe, Inc. is pleased to announce that Dave Dexter has joined its leadership team as Senior Vice President of Global Sales, bringing extensive sales leadership and multifamily expertise to the organization.
Dexter is an experienced sales leader in the multifamily space. Prior to joining WithMe, he served as Vice President of Multifamily Sales for Luxer One for 3 years. He also spent nearly a decade leading winning sales teams at RentPath.
An ardent believer in the associations shaping the industry, Dexter has proudly served as a member and a leader of multiple multifamily organizations. He has served on the board of directors of the Space Coast Apartment Association (SCAA), The First Coast Apartment Association (FCAA), the Southeast Florida Apartment Association (SEFAA) and as an alternate board member for the Florida Apartment Association (FAA).
Dexter is also a proud member of the National Apartment Association (NAA). He currently serves on the technology committee, but has also been part of the Apartmentalize conference committee.
"It is an honor and a privilege to join the WithMe team," says Dexter. "WithMe’s amenity solutions are truly exceptional, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to further the company’s mission to make life better for property management professionals and residents."
"We are thrilled to have Dave at the helm of our sales team,” says Jonathan Treble, WithMe’s Founder and CEO. “His incredible track record of success, paired with his extensive knowledge of the multifamily industry and his unparalleled leadership skills, will help WithMe continue to grow and become an undisputed leader in tech-enabled amenities.”

At WithMe, one of our core values is customer obsession. We routinely survey our clients to gather feedback about their experience and satisfaction with our resident coffee amenity, SipWithMe.
Our latest survey was completed by multifamily professionals representing properties all across the United States. We asked participants to tell us which aspects of SipWithMe they find most valuable - and why. Here are the top five answers, accompanied by candid feedback.
SipWithMe is hassle-free for residents and on-site teams. Residents can quickly customize and order beverages on their electronic devices or the machine's built-in HD screen. On-site teams are thoroughly trained on simple maintenance procedures to keep the device operating efficiently, and supplies can be ordered directly through the machine. Plus, if anything goes wrong, live support is available 7 days a week.
“The machine is better, and the quality of the coffee is better. It’s a nicer experience visually and way more user-friendly. We can count on SipWithMe if something goes wrong, which was not the experience I had with prior companies.” -Allison Kolman, Bozzuto
SipWithMe partners with a local craft roaster in every market to ensure devices are always stocked with fresh, high-quality beans and consistently dispensing barista-quality beverages. Coffee lovers can choose from a wide variety of options ranging from traditional black coffee to velvety lattes, while those not looking for a caffeine buzz can opt for decaf or decadent hot chocolate. It's an amenity with something for everyone.
"Our residents love the new SipWithMe coffee and machine. I have received multiple compliments on the variety of brews they can select from, how easy the machine is to use, and the flavor of the coffee. The team here is very impressed with the machine and the quality of the coffee!” -Sherry Haney, Security Properties Residential
Residents love free coffee - but some of them also love to take advantage of it. SipWithMe's proprietary Cup Allowance technology gives property managers the unique ability to select the number of free cups each resident receives each month, helping to control costs and usage.
“We were seeing expenses in some of the buildings where it was, at the height of it, $8,000 a month in coffee supplies. That's a massive number. So if you can trim down and set a flat number for that, your investors are so much happier with you. You're forward thinking.” -Juan Mendoza, Peak Properties
Budgeting for coffee amenities, particularly DIY setups, can be exasperating. With no way to control usage, wild variances and skyrocketing costs are all too common. SipWithMe helps property managers regain control of their coffee amenities. Packages are all-inclusive, completely taking the guesswork out of budgeting.
"I value the ability to successfully manage my budget due to the static cost." -Jeff Holmes, Bozzuto
SipWithMe's clean lines and glossy black finish were designed to complement even the most well-appointed, high-end spaces. A stunning HD video screen, customizable LED lighting, and transparent coffee bean hoppers create a magnificent visual display that delights residents.
"It's snazzy and cool." -Nicole Gibson, Morgan Group
Multifamily property owners are always on the lookout for ways to stand out and attract more residents, and with rising rent prices (and the rising cost of living in general), innovation is crucial.
One trend that's gaining traction is the addition of high-quality amenities that not only add value but also enhance the living experience. In today’s competitive market, owning a property is so much more than just offering a place to live. You've got to create a community and lifestyle that residents want to be a part of.
Integrating amenities such as SipWithMe cultivates an environment where residents feel at home, engaged, and taken care of. This shift towards more lifestyle-oriented amenities reflects the evolving expectations of residents who are looking for convenience, quality, and a touch of luxury in their living spaces.
Coffee is much more than just a morning ritual or a midday pick-me-up. A cup a day is a ritual for many, and coffee is a universally loved beverage that brings people together.
Implementing a coffee amenity for multifamily properties brings moments of connection and community.
With SipWithMe, residents have access to a high-quality, self-serve coffee station right within their living complex, making it easier than ever to grab a cup of their favorite brew.
This amenity encourages residents to gather, share conversations, and strengthen community ties, all over a delicious cup of coffee. It's a simple yet incredibly effective way to foster a sense of belonging and togetherness among residents.
Aside from its ability to bring people together, coffee boasts numerous health benefits that are sure to appeal to your residents.
Coffee is rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients, contributing to overall health and well-being. Regular coffee consumption has been linked to a lower risk of several diseases, including Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. It also enhances mental alertness and improves mood, making it a fantastic way to start the day or get through a sluggish afternoon.

We often think that receiving a treat has to include some kind of trade-off, because normally it does. You want a fancy car? It'll cost a pretty penny. Want a hotel with a great view? You'll probably have to pay up. It's natural to think that adding an elevated amenity like SipWithMe would require rent prices to increase, and the last thing property managers want to do is drive away residents.
But that isn't true! SipWithMe was designed to treat your residents to convenient, barista-quality without sacrificing affordability. In fact, SipWithMe can actually help you save money in the long run! With all-inclusive monthly pricing and customizable cup allowance packages, property managers have more control over their budgets and can better manage expenses. The added convenience of a self-serve coffee station can even help increase revenue over time, commanding the attention of prospective residents.

One of WithMe's core values is customer obsession. We routinely survey our clients to gather feedback about their experience and satisfaction with our resident printer amenity, PrintWithMe.
Our latest survey was completed by multifamily professionals representing hundreds of properties across the United States. We asked participants to tell us which aspects of PrintWithMe they find most valuable - and why. Here are the top five answers, accompanied by candid feedback.
PrintWithMe was designed to make resident printing simple and convenient. Completely wireless and self-serve, residents can quickly print from any electronic device by uploading documents via the PrintWithMe website, iOS app, or email.
"I absolutely love PrintWithMe. They make it so easy to keep the machine up and running. The technology is user-friendly for my residents, and we always get our supply shipments on time. This has become a much more popular amenity in my building since we switched to PrintWithMe!" -Hayley Morgan, Greystar.
PrintWithMe is virtually hands-off for on-site teams. Devices are remotely monitored for technical issues, and low supply levels. When paper or toner runs low, replacements are automatically shipped. Plus, all technical support is handled by the PrintWithMe team.
"PrintWithMe has been an easy solution to an amenity that was constantly causing headaches for residents and our staff. We know the monthly cost, and there is an inherent value in not having unexpected issues with the printer itself, supplies on hand or resident error." - Emily Paulino, Village Green.
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that a community printer was the most-desired amenity in multifamily.
PrintWithMe offers residents 24/7 access to wireless printing, as well as live support 7 days a week. They no longer have to rely on on-site teams to print their documents during normal business hours - or deal with the constant aggravation of an unreliable device. Convenient, reliable access to a top amenity leads to increased resident satisfaction and higher retention.
"PrintWithMe has been an excellent solution to our residents' printing needs. It's easy, convenient, and works great. I was surprised at how much use it gets! Plus, it reduces our workload and requires practically no maintenance. Truly a must-have for any residential property!" - Stephen Seltzner, Simpson Housing.
The WithMe team remotely monitors the paper and toner levels of every PrintWithMe device. As soon as one starts to get low, a new supply is shipped immediately. The only thing the property has to worry about is filling the paper tray and installing new cartridges.
"PrintWithMe takes printing out of the property's hands almost completely. Our residents find it easy to use, and we never have to worry about running out of paper or toner! PrintWithMe takes care of everything in the background, and we get to forget about our printer until a new paper delivery arrives - a delivery we didn't have to ask for!" -Chelsey Brinson, Core Spaces.
PrintWithMe gives residents 24/7 access to wireless printing. Documents can be uploaded at any time, anywhere, from any wireless device through our website, in our app, or by email.
"The communication with PrintWithMe is fantastic. They are always responsive to our needs, and our residents enjoy the ease of not having to disturb management for copies. It's self-serve, which is what people want." -Conrad Fultz, RC Residential Management.
Interested in finding out even more reasons why multifamily professionals love PrintWithMe? Check out our survey results report.
Our survey shed light on the top reasons multifamily properties love PrintWithMe.
But there’s more.
You're already aware of the staples that make a multifamily property stand out — modern amenities, strategic location, and top-notch security. And you're undoubtedly aware of the reasons multifamily property owners love PrintWithMe. But what if we told you there's so much more that self-service printers bring to the table? From convenience to savings, PrintWithMe adds so much more that changes how current and potential residents see your property.
Self-service amenities are swiftly becoming a cornerstone of modern living as residents increasingly seek ways to streamline and simplify various aspects of their daily routines. This growing demand spans a wide array of services, from the convenience of using printers to the simplicity of grabbing a morning coffee from an automated machine. The essence of this shift lies in the desire for immediacy, efficiency, and autonomy in managing one's time and tasks without the need for direct interaction or assistance.
The appeal of PrintWithMe resonates strongly with the modern resident's preference for self-service solutions. PrintWithMe directly addresses the growing demand while making life easier for multifamily property owners. This effortless solution takes the stress out of growing and advancing your property.
Let's talk numbers. Owning a personal printer sounds great until you start adding up the costs of ink, paper, and maintenance.

By providing a communal, high-quality printer, both residents and property owners can enjoy the flexibility of printing whenever they need without the financial burden of owning and maintaining a printer. This setup is wallet-friendly while bringing quality prints and tech to your building.
Prospective tenants touring your property and discovering a PrintWithMe printer on-site add profound benefits. This amenity instantly elevates the property's appeal, showcasing your commitment to modern conveniences and technology. In an age where renters have countless options at their fingertips, amenities like these can set your property apart. A self-serve printer can help make a statement that your property can and will meet the lifestyle demands of today's and tomorrow's renters.
Residents are increasingly looking for eco-friendly living options, and PrintWithMe printers align perfectly with this ethos. By centralizing printing services, property managers can significantly reduce waste and promote more responsible use of resources. This can also bring a larger culture of sustainability within your community. Plus, with advanced features, PrintWithMe printers make it easy for residents to play their part in protecting the planet.
Beyond the convenience and cost savings, PrintWithMe printers foster a sense of community among residents. Shared amenities create natural gathering points and opportunities for interaction, strengthening the social fabric of your property. Whether it's a quick chat while waiting for a document to print or a shared appreciation for the convenience of on-site printing while working from home, these interactions add to a vibrant, connected community. That adds a level of comfort that separates your multifamily property from others.
PrintWithMe is about providing an indispensable amenity that enhances the living experience for every resident. From bolstering the appeal of your property to supporting eco-friendly initiatives and fostering a sense of community, the benefits of incorporating PrintWithMe printers are massive.
Embrace the future of multifamily amenities with PrintWithMe. Elevate your property, delight your residents, and join the ranks of innovative property owners who understand the value of convenience, community, and sustainability.

There’s something invigorating about having a fitness center just a few steps away from your doorstep. The convenience factor is a massive draw, especially for those balancing busy schedules. A quick morning workout or an evening session to de-stress becomes infinitely easier. Plus, the savings on gym memberships and travel time are nothing to scoff at.
These apartment amenities support physical health while fostering a sense of community among residents who regularly use the facility.
With the integration of smart home technology, your fitness center can even bring personalized workout suggestions and progress tracking, further enhancing the user experience.
If you're not an avid coffee drinker, you might not get it. But PLENTY of people love coffee, so the convenience of having access to it right in your home is something that makes a big difference.
There's a reason why people craft their own coffee stations and why many TikTok and YouTube lifestyle videos start with a cup of coffee.
At this point, it's a lifestyle at this point, so you don't want to miss out on adding a coffee bar or station to your property.
An added benefit?
People love to chat it up and have a great time with the community around them, and a coffee station is just one area where you can encourage that. Students love coffee, too! With many studying late into the night and early morning, having access to a coffee bar at their apartment complex can be a major convenience for them. It can also be a great selling point for student housing properties looking to attract new residents.
Green spaces, rooftop gardens, or even simple BBQ areas significantly enhance the quality of life in multifamily housing. They offer a slice of nature and a breath of fresh air amidst urban settings, making them invaluable community amenities. These outdoor spaces are communal hubs where all your residents can connect and unwind. Whether it’s hosting a weekend grill party or enjoying a quiet read under the sun, the allure of well-maintained outdoor amenities is something you don't want to neglect. Incorporating elements of smart home technology into these areas, such as automated lighting and weather-responsive features, only heightens their appeal.
The need for physical documents hasn’t vanished. Having access to a printer within a multifamily property eases the stress of last-minute printing needs. This amenity is appreciated by students and professionals alike, highlighting the multifaceted roles apartment amenities play in catering to residents' diverse needs. It's a nod to your residents by showing that you understand the convenience of having a printer.
Online shopping has become a staple of modern living, bringing about the need for secure package handling solutions. Enter package lockers — an amenity that addresses this need perfectly. Package lockers provide a safe and convenient way for your residents to receive their deliveries at any hour, without the worry of theft or misplacement. It brings a layer of convenience and peace of mind to the online shopping experience.
WithMe simplifies the integration of a coffee station or printer amenity, covering the ins and outs so you can focus on providing your residents with exceptional service. Clearly, people value the ability to grab a gourmet coffee on their way out the door or print a document without leaving the building. So why not invest in both? Through streamlined management and maintenance, WithMe keeps your amenities operating at their best, further solidifying the appeal of apartment amenities in the eyes of current and prospective residents.
Back in 2020, Lincoln Property Company partnered with PrintWithMe to offer all-inclusive printing services to their residents nationwide. Since then, nearly 34,000 multifamily apartment homes have enjoyed the benefits of their national partnership.
"When looking for a printing partner, Lincoln was searching for an elevated amenity for our residents while also providing cost and time savings for our teams. PrintWithMe checked all of the boxes, providing support seven days a week, auto-shipping supplies, as well as making our residents' privacy a top concern.

Ranked No. 1492, the multifamily amenities technology company has continued to grow exponentially while maintaining high levels of service and quality.
CHICAGO (August 16, 2023)- WithMe, Inc., the leading supplier of tech-enabled amenities for the multifamily industry, announced today that it has ranked No. 1492 on the 2023 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.
WithMe’s appearance on the annual list is a rare third showing. The company ranked No. 1371 in 2022 and No. 659 in 2021.
The prestigious Inc. 5000 provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses.
“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000—with the fast growth that requires—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.”
The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate ticked up to an astonishing 2,238 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 1,187,266 jobs to the economy over the past three years.
“WithMe is honored to be recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in the United States for the third year in a row,” says Jonathan Treble, WithMe’s founder and CEO. “We now proudly serve over 1 million apartment homes, and our amenity solutions can be found in more than 3,500 locations nationwide. So much of our continued exponential growth is driven by client referrals, which speaks to the exceptional work our team is doing in living out our core values of customer obsession and performance.”

Inc. 5000 Methodology
Companies on the 2023 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2019 to 2022. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2019. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2022. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2019 is $100,000; the minimum for 2022 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.

Coffee.
It’s literally the hottest multifamily amenity trend in Chicago.
And there’s one solution that’s been generating a buzz.
In 2021, the general managers of six luxury high rise buildings in Chicago all made the decision to switch from their existing coffee amenity suppliers to SipWithMe.
Each property was already partnered with WithMe, Inc. to provide resident printer amenities through PrintWithMe. This made implementing coffee services seamless and hassle-free.
Over the course of 8 months, 1,950 residents enjoyed 22,520+ roast-to-order beverages. And the properties reduced their coffee expenses by 49%.
But that’s just the beginning of the story. Download our full case study to find out how they also elevated their resident experience and saved their staff time and hassle.
