zjtaylor Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 It's amazing to me that you are bringing in that much per week with this business. I've never had any interest in honor boxes because I assumed they didn't bring in that much money but it seems like you are doing great. What's your mile radius for your locations? And about how many miles do you drive per week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And about how many miles do you drive per week? I average about 375 miles a week. My farthest location right now is 43 miles from me. I have 15 boxes in that area. As far as boxes themselves, I would say they are all within 10 miles of a particular area, if that makes sense lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again, hope Im not troubling No, sir, you aren't troubling me at all. I have read about Lyons vending, but after getting burned a few times, I now run anytime i hear the words business opportunity. Are you looking to do full line, bulk, or what type of vending are you looking at and no, i do not carry any type of business insurance at this time. That is probably something I will do after my business gets bigger. Did you look at my website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work a full time job but have one day off during the week and would like to get into vending and maybe at some point have the opportunity to go full time at it. I would love to go with a soda machine and full size snack machine but I am deathly afraid of having repairs for I know nothing about fixing them. I'm lucky if I can put a bulb in a lamp. Ugh! I did check out your website, thank you. It looks great and very informative. Really like how you state that the business owner is no way responsible for anything. Whats your thoughts on someone getting a full size soda and snack machine that has no mechanical experience to fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhumphrey829 Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Weekly update: 5 new locations, pulled Hi there, thanks so much for your help. I work a full time job but have one day off during the week and would like to get into vending and maybe at some point have the opportunity to go full time at it. I would love to go with a soda machine and full size snack machine but I am deathly afraid of having repairs for I know nothing about fixing them. I'm lucky if I can put a bulb in a lamp. Ugh! I did check out your website, thank you. It looks great and very informative. Really like how you state that the business owner is no way responsible for anything. Whats your thoughts on someone getting a full size soda and snack machine that has no mechanical experience to fix? LOL, you sound a lot like me. I actually had some older soda and snack machines on location and the very reason I sold them was because I knew that if anything ever went wrong with them I was going to be out money because I have no clue how to fix anything at all. Having said that, there are plenty of great people on here that could probably walk you through any problems that may arise, but I just like my snack boxes because there is no maintenance required other than putting them together. I do have 3 soda machines that I am a third party vendor for coke a cola. I like that because if anything goes wrong with the machines, they will come out and fix them. Full line vending is just too expensive for me but if you have the money to invest it's a great business as you can tell from the guys on here.

What kind of system do you put in place to collect all 194 boxes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I use vend-trak for my business. It Let's me know what locations are due each day of the week and i take that information and put the routes together for the week. I service between 65 and 80 boxes a week. It varies because some of my locations are based on 2 week services and some are on 3 weeks. Hope this answered your questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlindVending Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Great thread. Love the consistent updates. How many hours a week do you spend on entire business? How many days/hours do you spend servicing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhumphrey829 Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 On a 70 box service week. I do 20 boxes a day on Monday, Tues, Wed, and thurs then 15 on Friday. As far as time goes, a lot of that depends on how far my route is for that day, but overall, it averages 6.5 hours a day. That includes filling boxes and counting the money. Running the route itself usually only takes about 2.5 hours to 3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poplady1 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 One of our best locations was a small community police department. We always got more than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhumphrey829 Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 I haven't tried any police stations, I figured they already had vending machines in there, or they couldn't commit to just one charity. I may have to give it a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
