BlindVending Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hey guys Just landed a location at one of my favorite wing/rib restaurants. The biggest vendor in my area and one of the largest in Canada had a rack that I got booted for mine (score 1 for the little guy) Anyhow the owner mentioned me throwing a handful of black winner gumballs in a head possibly paying a free pound of wwings. What is normal procedure on this. Do they bill you at next service cycle or are they expected to give it free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandJGroup Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Owners comp food a lot especially at the big chains. I wouldn't say a word about paying for the wings since it was his idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWvend Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'd factor it in with cog , also depends on when commission you have agreed on. Wings can be expensive, maybe you could suggest a less expensive item like a slice of pizza. I wouldn't let him take the hit on the free item himself no matter what you give as a prize.

musser Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Do not offer to pay anything it was his idea after all how many gum balls would it take to pay for a dinner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoniocinisi Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 when I had an outside vendor in my restaurant she did the winner gumballs,I would sell her personal pizzas at a discount but I wouldn't donate it! she would have an increase in sales in her vending machine and I would lose out on profit if I just gave it to her! 75% of the time they would take their free personal home and not even buy a soda with it so there really was no advantage the restaurant having winner gumballs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havending Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 There's a hungry howies near us that owns it's own machines. They give a free pizza with a blue gumball. I could get free lunch I happen to have a few blue gumballs lol. I tried to sell the owner on a nice rack but he likes his LYPC junk. One head missing (broke) one has coin jam several months.
