  1. Chris, I'm taking another swing at being retired! It didn't last long when I tried it before, maybe now it will... but I'm still searching the business ads for the anonymous millionaire opening!
  2. After 12 years and some few months, I have sold all my vending locations and am leaving the business! Right now I am working to transition everything to the buyer, so I will be around for a little while. So I am probably going to end up with a lot of older parts the buyer will not want or need, and if I do I will probably have a "vending garage sale" to help clear out my warehouse. If any of y'all are nearby or interested in coming to sunny Florida in December, let me know! I am just a little south of Daytona Beach on the east coast and just off I-95. Hoping to dispose of any leftovers locally and not deal with shipping, we will see... will update here as things happen! Best of luck to you fighting guys and gals still in the vending trenches!!

  3. My .02, just adjust your regular pricing. I have never done two-tier pricing myself because I know the customers find it confusing, and don't understand or care about the justification anyway.
  4. Two things come to mind - first, when you installed the units did they ever work for cards? Sometimes on a new install you might need to reboot once or twice to force the readers to make contact. Cycle the power and watch the display while it powers on and tries to make contact. Check signal strength once they are booted up. Check the troubleshooting card that came in the box for suggestions. Second, I had some new units lately that were not shipped with proper setups; they can download the info quickly to correct these issues. Call early AM (they start at 0800 ET) if you want to get tech support by phone. Later in the day the queue gets too long...
  5. Have you thought about using a Cantaloupe unit? If you are going to buy something, buy something that is not scheduled to be obsolete soon....
  6. "Makes 100K a year" - is that total sales, gross profit, or net profit? Details?
  7. I have had a very basic website almost from the beginning. I got the domain thru GoDaddy along with email service and used their design tools to set it up myself. I renew it all on an annual basis for a couple hundred. I need to spend some more time keeping it up to date and adding new content to help the SEO, but I mostly ignore it. I have received a few good accounts thru the website, since almost anyone looking for anything these days is searching the web. My wife's experience with web designer services in a prior job left me convinced that most of them are overpriced and hard to work with, so not worth using.
  8. That's a spacer for smaller packages. It's used to set up a selection for 12 oz cans along with the proper shim. Obviously was not inserted fully in the tray.
  9. Parlevel has a healthy inventory/ warehouse module that probably does all you want, I don't know if it would integrate with QB. I use QBO for accounting and manage inventory in Parlevel with no issues. I don't think that makes me a poor business operator...
  10. Pastries should be available at Sams Club or Costco (Big Tex rolls, danish, honey buns). Lance crackers (Toastchee, Toasty, Nekot) usually sell well. Energy drinks (Monster) are big right now. Grandma's cookies, Kars sweet and salty mix, pop tarts are all good selections.
  11. If your coin mech has a removable cassette make sure the proper cassette code is programmed in. Also check your escrow settings on the bill validator. Gizmo is spot on about the tray contacts. Look for anything obstructing the contacts and also make sure both shelf latches are setting properly.
  12. Yea the guac did ok for a while a few years ago but slacked off, the voodoo's are about done for this run too but the Salsitas I almost always have (when I can get them) love that long shelf life too....
  13. I have 2 refresh machines, one works fine, the other.... is the reason you are turning off auto calibration! Have been working with them for 2 months trying to get the machine right but mine has picker issues that won't go away. Dropping product is as CV says a cleaning issue in most cases. Be sure you are putting the product in fully and not leaving the first item stuck in the gate. Get some food grade silicone spray to help you clean and lube the gates and levers.
