G-man422 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hey everyone, I posted this in another thread but figured it may be useful in a seperate topic so more people see it. Enjoy! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Product ½ oz. # 1/3 oz. # ¼ oz. # M&M 17 11 9 PM&M 6 4 3 Reese’s Pieces 17 11 9 Skittles 14 9 7 Hot Tamales& 7 5 4 Mike & Ikes Runts 12 8 6 Good and Plentys 15 10 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To Calculate Net Per Bag: - Decide the vending size you want to give to your customers from the chart above. Multiply the bag size in ounces by the number of vends per ounce. Example: I want to vend 1/3 oz. portions of M&Ms so I will multiply my bag size by the opposite of my fraction. 56 oz. X 3 = 168 servings per bag. I charge $0.25 per serving so multiply 168 by $0.25 and I get $42 Gross. Now just take away my cost of product ($8.50) and I am left with $33.50 Net. * You will also need to take into account other expenses such as gas, machine repairs, etc. But this is an easy way to see if you are getting the most out of your candy or if you should stop vending a certain type.

caserri Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Could we get this stickied? As I'm filling up some machines I came to check on it again. I placed this in the "Vending 101" section for you. That should make it easier to find. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threeponys Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 G-man Just what I was trying to figure out this evening as I'm getting back into the business after 10years of selling my operations. (WHAT was I thinking???) Your chart is perfect. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey from GA Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 whereis the vending 101 section..cant find it I placed this in the "Vending 101" section for you. That should make it easier to find. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacho Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 whereis the vending 101 section..cant find it Joey, this an old thread. I can't remember if it migrated over to the new form or not. If it did, it was probably lost in the recent loss of third party add ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey from GA Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 thanks bacho. I have been told that it didn't get migrated over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 The vending 101 section was a category that contained many threads that were considered noteworthy and educational. We eliminated the category but the threads are still here. They've just been assimilated back into the regular forums. Sent from my Android using Tapatalk.
