A. Purchasing a franchise is as easy as looking in any newspaper classified section. They are always for sale. I worked in this industry for about 8 years 20+ years ago. It's all different now. I'm out of it for a reason. Be careful. If you can make money on these small routes that companies are always flipping and selling they would hire employees and run the business route themselves. You might put out 10-20 thousand for a route and when you see you are not making money you get out and they sell it to someone else. That's how they make their money. Now, if you buy a legitimate company from someone retiring or moving that's running the route and making money then you might find a good deal but people making money usually don't give up their… [cont.]

How should I redesign the vending machines?
Q. I have to redesign a vending machine in my class. I would really appreciate it if I can get some suggestion from you all. The thing is that I need to find out what people like or dislike about the vending machines and what kind of vending machines you prefer to use. Where do you like them to be located? Is it convenient for all people to use? Do you have problem using buttons, bill and change slots or getting the product out? Do you think the display window is good enough visually with the pictures of the product or the actual product as well as the price and number tags under each item? My design has to be a universal design.

A. Are you redesigning the vending machine for Japanese people? Anyway, vending machine is just a machine in Japan. It must be the one you can use it easily. Just like any other vending machines in Japan.

How much money can you make on a vending machine?
Q. I saw an add on craigslist that had a Red Bull vending machine for sale. I was considering buying it, but i didn't because i did not know if it would make enough money. If i did buy it I would place it somewhere in Oviedo/Wintersprings FL area. I need to know how much money I could make on a Red Bull vending machine in Oviedo/Wintersprings FL. -thanks!
Asked by Joey john - Wed Dec 23 19:02:57 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. 1. You will have to put it somewhere which means you will need to pay rent to the person who owns the land/building where you place it. 2. People will break into the machine, steal the money and the product when you aren't guarding it. 3. You will need to keep it in good repair. Do you know how to repair the machine if it breaks down (it is a used machine, right)? If the machine costs more than $5.00, I'd seriously consider using my money in another way.

What does an average candy vending machine make per month?
Q. I am thinking of buying some candy vending machines and was wondering how much they really make. I am talking about the kind where you put in a quarter and turn the knob.

A. I was just looking through this and had to respond. I didn't even have a yahoo password to sign up, but I got one just to answer your question. If I understand your question, you are talking about the machines that hold bulk candy. Like M&M's then you put in a quarter and get a handful. Normally you see these with 3 heads on them. The bulk candy industry actually tracks this stuff and the average is about $20 per month per machine! I owned 100's of these machines, also gumball, video games, pinball, pool tables, and crane games. If I could have made $3000 a month with 6 or 7 machines I wouldn't have sold them all. :-) Hope this helps.

how does the vending machine business work?
Q. In terms of business model, where does the revenue flow to and from? - Do corporate offices typically pay vending machine operators to put in and service machines or do operators pay corporate offices? How willing are offices usually to having machines put in? What are decision criteria used in selecting machines? - Do offices ever "buy" the machines? Or it is usually rented?
Asked by emerveille - Tue Feb 20 22:59:42 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's all location, location, location. You're going to be up against some big competition from established vending companies that have sometimes hundreds of machines in tons of locations. I would start small. Find a great location that doesn't already have a machine. A busy break room at a smaller company or business is one of the best places to start. Next you'll need a machine...the combo drink/snack machines are a great place to start. Also, bulk machines...such as candy/nuts/mints that you pay a quarter for a handful. Keep in mind that you don't want to have your machine somewhere it could get vandalized or broken into.

A. Better yet - check out this one: www.moobella.com I'm the engineer behind the pneumatic system in this machine. I'm not about to explain how it works, but there are about 40 motors, and 500 feet of tubing that allow it to make hard scoop ice cream on the spot from the raw ingredients - takes about 40 seconds, and it's SO much better than soft serve.

A. I've found for the most part that gyms aren't a very good location for vending. We've had Powerade and Vitamin Water in a few local mid size gyms (about half the size of a Gold's Gym) and the best machines do maybe $60 in a week, some have done less than $20 in a week. (That's $1 for 20oz Powerade and $1.50 for 20oz Vitamin Water) These machines really have trouble selling the product before it goes out of date. We do have a machine at a Lady Fitness that sells over $120 of Dasani a week (5 Cases) despite the fact that the machine is right in front of a water fountain. I'm guessing that the customers buy the Dasani and reuse the bottles at the fountain? Either way, you'll find that gyms are really hit or miss.
