QuikVend Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 I'm using the candy for a cause boxes. I'm going to call tomorrow to see what they do for destroyed boxes. I'm not too worried about just 1, but if I end up losing anymore I'd like to know the process. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honorbox99 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Lollopops for me work best at nail salons mexican restaurants and bigger car repair/car washes. Choc normaly does better than lolly overall i use mars mostly but when places ask for change i give them hersheys mix and hershey nuggets. I give yorks to most of my sushi/chinese.

lionvending Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Did I read correctly that you put multiple boxes in the same location? I find it difficult for a lot of places to have counter space for one box, let alone more than one. I assume that you could offer multiple products that way, but I would still see issues with it. How many locations do you have then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes: Salon #3 was the first time I've collected since purchasing the boxes/locationsSushi Restaurant was a joke. Told me they no longer wanted the box, all candy was gone(75 pieces mixed candy) and box was partially unfolded and torn. The girl that handed it to me broke the news to me and said "all the money is in there" with only $5 total of a possible $25. Pub #3 made up a bit for the Sushi restaurant. found a $5 and $20 bill in it. Pulled $42.10 of possible $33.Mexican restaurant is one more poor performance from being pulled. After 2 really good services, the owner asked to be removed because they were selling mints for themselves. I offered to change to a mixed candy instead and he agreed. The box I swapped out and the first mixed candy box were both short 70+% after only being short 17% and 19% the first 2 services.

That, or glue sponges on the sides of the trays to help corral them. And make sure you check all your coin mechs each service (and have spare on hand ready to go). I've had a few that the coin holder wore out and the coin feel down too far and jammed as well as one that seemed to work normally, until you turned it counter-clockwise. It would just keep spinning and give away free candy. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrybrooksvendall Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Do you have to line the canister up to where it makes contact with the coin mech? I'm seeming to have that problem.Sent from my Z987 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrybrooksvendall Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 There will be a very small Gap to where it doesn't line up with the coin mech.Sent from my Z987 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrybrooksvendall Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Yeah as far as getting all the quarters out.. We've had fun with that all ready. My 14 year old pointed out a few that I missed.Sent from my Z987 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Even with all the tips and tricks, some will still miss the canisters. Just butt them up against the chute and glue a sponge big enough to fill the gap between the canisters and the next chute. That will help quite a bit. I'll try to snap a picture of what I have set up next time I service. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
