Looking for a good machine vendor.

Post by **Combustiva** » February 5th, 2012, 9:09 pm

Hello All,

I'm looking to make my first vending business experiment. I have already discuss to put snack and drink machine into an office building in my city.

The building has 400 office type employees separated into 3 levels. Here are my questions?

1) How many machines to buy?
2) New, refurbish or used.
3) Since I'm in the Caribbean, I'll have to learn to repair myself or sent parts to repair. What machines models are the more maintenance free. Can somebody mention a couple of good models to research?
4) Machine Vendors, can somebody mention reputable machine dealers that I can start conversing back and forth?

I appreciate all your help.

Mich

Hi Mich,

Not too sure on models available to you however dixie narco drink vendors are very reliable and little maintenance needed apart from cleaning out coin mechs occasionally and cleaning grills on chiller, for your snack machines crane focus are the best I would say.

Dont bother buying new remanufactured would be fine and expect to pay about 1/3 for a decent refurb.

Would say you need at least 4 machines but if possible get six, two machines on each level of office. If one of the areas has slightly less in then maye a combi would be adequate

Hope this helps a little.

Thanks Matt,

Can you suggest companies that do well preparing refurbish machines to accept foreign coins and bills?
