musser Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I GO EVERY 6-8 WEEKS, ANYTHING SLOWER YOU NEED TO REPLACE ASAP! A NW S60 holds enough 850 gum to have about $70 in it when it goes mt, 1080 gum or 1430 much more, so you would move a machine that does less than $35 a month?

dromero Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 When I did my candy route it was every 12 weeks anything longer and they will think you abandoned the machine. 12 weeks for single headed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dromero Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 No more than every 6 weeks for a few reasons: My 3 busiest locations may run out of a product if I wait longer. I can keep lower levels in the machines that are not busy. Machines can get dirty or sometimes something gets spilled on them. A problem, like lock mechs becoming loose or jammed. It shows the locations that I care about the upkeep. Why dont you just go through the route that sell the most and give the other ones an 8 week interval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dromero Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I never fill my candy to the top for 2 reasons. Firstly, the product will go stale at all but the most active of locations. Secondly, the psychology of viewing a full machine makes people think that no one else is eating it so why should they. A partially empty machine has shown that someone came before and ate. I am probably just spewing mumbo jumbo but that is how I run my route and the results have been favorable. IN THE NORTHWESTERN WEBPAGE THEY SAY THAT STUDIES SHOW THAT A FULL MACHINES SELLS MORE!!!

dromero Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I agree with this! The only time I have filled the machine to the top was an employee break room that called me after 3 days, after I filled it halfway, to let me know it was empty. I had to fill that one to the top in order to only visit it weekly. (Luckily it was 1/2 mile from my house) WHAT TYPE of business was that and how many employees were there???

rodney69 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I know its not the main part of this thread but would like to get more peoples opinions on filling up thier machines vs half When I start a location i start 1/2 full unless I already know about what it's going to do and how long it will be. If it's close, then fill half way and check in 2-4 weeks depending on equipment, product and location, but most likely half full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
