Snack Vending Machine Advise

[Munchiesvend]

Hi all looking for some advise help,
I have been approached by one of my customers where i have a tower sited, they are looking for a snack vending machine for confectionary/crisps as they don't want the hassle anymore, currently they do around 100/150 pw but this should go up because availability would be better.
So I would like to know your thoughts re best machines, new/old probably reconditioned, I dont have any experience with these machines, i have been asked before for snack/drink machines and feel it may be a good time to dip my toe into this area.
Any input re profits avg per machine snack/snack and can/ can only machines just rough ideas.

Thanks for your help

You need a lot of machines before you start to make a profit due to cost of stock until your buying a decent amount.

Maintenance can be an issue if you dont have some emectrical mechanical experience.

You can buy a new machone with maintenace included bit would need to be a busy site to cover your costs.

It has been discussed in previous posts i think ic you do a search.

Any other info just ask

Thanks Matt I realise the stock cost issue that goes hand in hand with most business, and everyone has to start somewhere.

I'm sure for instance if I was to buy a machine from you for instance and later down the line I had an issue I could phone you you or ask on this forum for help.

Quite capable of switching out parts.

I'm thinking more towards a reconditioned machine

thx

Also when you say a lot of machines how many?

Would say maybe 5 if just snacks but 10 total mahines is a point where you can start to get by

Yes i can offer support using my technical hotline that some other people on here use ey steve???

Your advise is no good though?

More advise please, still none the wiser.... apart from needing 5-10 machines HELP

try and find find a local company to rent machine with maintenace second hand for about 20- 25 a week. Profit on 100-150 with cost you would be paying maybe 35-70 a week less cost of machine.

So you can see why you need a lot of machines and they must be performing well. You need more machines as well for rotation of stock if some are slow sellers.
