Machines should be Clean, Full and Working. Only take on accounts that make over $100 a week. Buy good equipment. There you are now mini Canteen without the overhead or franchise fees.

Basically, to become a canteen franchise, you need to already have an established business. They generally don't want small accounts that do less than maybe $5,000/year. They want large accounts. If you aren't a relatively large and established business, then you're wasting your time even asking about them. It's not something where you pay a fee to become a franchise and they hook you up with everything you need to become a big operator... Most companies I have known about that have joined canteen did so because they wanted to retire.

You can't be a Canteen franchise unless they come to you because they want to buy you out. They won't even consider that unless you have multiple routes that do millions in sales. They are a national company and don't care about small operations at all. You aren't even in anybody's sights as you are a miniscule business.
