100% free for your business
A claw machine.
For free. Really.
We place, stock, and maintain premium claw machines at cafés, restaurants, and campuses across the San Francisco Bay Area and San Diego — or rent one for your next event.
Full-size or compact — whichever fits.

Our actual machines,
in actual rooms
No renders, no stock photos. These are California Claw machines on real floors — a pizzeria, a lobby, an event — stocked with the plush we buy and restock ourselves.
Every cabinet gets restocked on a schedule. When one runs low or a claw acts up, that's our problem to solve, not yours.

Every day is a chance to spark joy
We're a small team in the San Francisco Bay Area. We started California Claw because a claw machine turns a dead corner into the thing people remember about a shop — and most owners never get one because of the cost and the hassle.
So we removed both. We buy the machine, stock it, fix it, and split nothing out of your register. You give us a corner and an outlet.
- We answer within 24 hours
- Every request gets a real reply from a person, not an autoresponder.
- We restock on a schedule
- You never have to call us about an empty cabinet or a jammed claw.
- You can end it whenever
- No contracts, no notice period. If it stops working for you, we collect it.
