redmms250713 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 im getting my first crane location in a local grocery store, with hopefully bulk vending soon as well. but crane to satrt for now, my question is do you have them sign contracts? what is the split? do you take the prize prices out before the split? i was thinking of doing a quarterly report with pay, that is 50/50 AFTER prize prices are taken out and that would be itemized on the report as well.

havending Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Keep it simple. Rule of thumb on cranes is 33.3 all around. Split even on prizes, location, operator. Some guys will to a 40% and deduct prize cost. Figure out what's best for you then keep it simple. Dump the reports etc. Crsne type? Size? Source? Just asking because lots of help here on those 3.

TWvend Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Treasure Chest is out of business thus very hard to get parts for. I/f you have problems with it your off to a rough start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coast to Coast stocks all the parts for United. Twisted quarter even stocks some. I would stick to the latest version they made. We have some and zero issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanihotdog Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 buying used machines make sense if you are testing the waters, however can be a catch 22. You never know what you are going to get! You may get lucky and buy the machine at last for 5 years with no problems, or you may have a machine that is a moneypit and leaves a bad taste in your mouth! Long term you really need to find a manufacturer that you can trust and stick with one machine to streamline your business. The last thing you want is to learn the ins and outs of five different machines, and have to train your employees to service and repair all of them, and stock parts for all of them.
