Profitable and Fair Candy Dispense Portion

Recommended Posts

So, I am really new to the vending business.  I have about 6 TripleVend candy stands right now.   I purchase all of my candy at Sams Club.  I am a little concerned about my portion size.  What is a fair amount to give on every turn?  Below are my current portions... will this be profitable or should I lower them?  

 

Peanut M&M's  8-10

Plain M&M's     20-25

Skittles              25-29

Reeses Pieces 12-15

Mike & Ikes      8-10

 

What do you think fair and profitable portion amounts should be?  Thanks for your help!

You're too high on all of them.  Especially your chocolate candies.  Chocolate is too expensive and I'm personally keeping it to a minimum recently.

The numbers GagesVending suggested are almost identical to what I'm running, no complaints yet. I think I run the skittles a bit higher, but not much. The higher margin helps cover the lower margin chocolates
