I am looking at maybe starting a coffee vending round / business and have some previous experience of a sweet / honesty box round but to honest that did not really work out due to dishonesty. I like the idea of a vending business, especially where it is not so easy to nick the stock but realise the pitfalls and also the inflated sales figures from suppliers rarely stack up. I am interested in coffee machines as most people drink coffee although i appreciate that there is going to be quite a lot of competition, can anyone recommend a supplier or franchise or is it best to go alone and use a site finding service, any advice would be appreciated even a better sector although i don't want to go down sweet vending in any form.
Cheers
Richard

Re: Coffee Vending Business?
Coffee machines are good earners in the right site, trouble is most of the good sites have them and are usually on a cup price of about 12p!!!
You will need some knowledge regarding breakdowns are have some help as they are prone to throwing a wobbler.
There are so many different types of machines for different locations dependent on many different factors, ie cup cost, quality of drink, ease of maintenance, ease of refilling,who fills them, machine budget etc etc
Best advise is to find yourself a decent site pm me and I will help you decide best machine and pricing etc
unless your in the west midlands of course, in that case you would be a competitor
there are a couple of operators who have had a go with coffee machines and are doing okay with it I believe.
site finders are non existent by the way
