AMD Snacks Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hey so is the fastest way to service, basically walk in with a new box ready to go and then swap? Seems like it'd be tricky to keep track of what came from where once you got big enough. Also how soon does a box normally need to be checked after initial placement? 1 week?

QuikVend Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I've been at it almost a month here's what I do: 10 of my 50 boxes are for swap outs. I load them with my mints,gran a few extra boxes of mints, load up and head out. If I have a few close together, I'll just swap and head to the next. I'll then restock and record totals, then head to the next. Collection times vary. I'm trying to ruin 2 and 3 week connections. I had one account that emptied in 3 days and 7 days after servicing was only half empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD Snacks Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Ok cool, so you DO check after a week? I'm doing snacks to start, might change to mints, I'm still testing the waters. Unlike my bulk which I sorta got addicted to right off the bat, I'm planning to let my honor boxes prove themselves by being self sustaining before I dive in. How are you counting all those mints? Seems tedious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Well, they called and let me know it emptied in 3 days. I added more mints and gave it 7 days to see if it emptied again. Only got to half, so I'm thinking that it might go to a 2 week schedule with more mints. I just picked up 90 of the snack honor boxes from a local member here, so once I get my mint boxes settled and my new full line accounts settled in, I'm thinking I might pursue the snacks. What kind of box are you using and how many snacks are you going with? Are you at $1 for everything? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD Snacks Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 I'm starting with $1. Might go to $1.25 if I get serious. I'm not doing any chocolate candy which makes $1 doable for now. I'm using the small boxes from Cameron. I like the simplicity of mints, just having the one product. Just haven't tried it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using a variety including mints and it seems that the mints are often left....they don't seem to sell well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you at restaurants? I figured it would work best if I did that at restaurants only. So I serviced my 5 locations I got from Rodney today. Overall did well. Ranged from 50% theft to 0% theft, and my average ended up at 19.2% theft. (the 50% theft warned me he thinks people thought they were free and he had to remind some people not to take em free) One location a sort of sheepish teen was politely asking me how they can back out of the arrangement (me having an honor box there) and I told him I can take it whenever, there's no pressure. But then I asked him why, and he said he's afraid other employees that occasionally work there from other branches are stealing..I told him no worries, and asked if I could at least try for one more week. He said yes, but as I walked out I could see the other employees looking at me wondering why I wasn't removing the box. Oddly enough they only had 3% theft and sold half the box. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this theft/honor box business lol. It's hard to know you're getting robbed. But my calculations, of the possible $149 I could make with the product I bought (with zero theft), at this rate I should still make $121 profit. That's already taking out product costs. It's soo much more math and notes and work than bulk, but definitely seems more profitable.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
