Is it bad to do first collection after 90 days?

[BlindVending]

I have been mass locating lately and getting into busy season at my fulltime job as well as full line. Is it bad to drop a machine and do the first collection 90 days later during my regular "route". I myself prefer to make each stop count and run my route in 60-180 cycles depending on location (I do have a few that empty multiple heads after 3 weeks that I service more).

Anyone?

Yes.  Waiting 90 days for your first collection would be bad business.  I appreciate wanting to make it worth your time but think about it this - you're only burning the bridge with you're GREAT accounts.  The crap locations won't care you waited 90 days but the places that drained the machine in a month won't be happy it sat empty forever.  

 

Now if you make a fly-by after 30 days without collecting and only fill heads that are less than 50% I can't argue with that.

for new locations I only fill each item 1/3 and check after 2 weeks, based on first collection I usually check again after 2 weeks and then decide if it's a 30/60/90 cycle location.
