Lake Cities Vending

I don't pay anywhere near $13.50. You need to talk to them again.

I'd say door switch. Happened to me a couple of times.

I would like to see it. There are several locations in my area going to micro markets so I would like to learn more. The future in vending is here now.

I've got the contract somewhere, I'll have to look. I did see it the other day.

I had one that the surge protector on the cord went out.

I have 2 machines that are doing 60 to 70% cashless. I have never looked at overall.

I go through about 2 case's a week of Cheetos Hot Chips. Looking at sams the other day and they had them with expiration dates of May & June on the box still for sale.

I guess some bottlers are different. I'm an approved vendor and I'm at the top of the discount schedule. Repairs have never been a problem, I had one the other day I called in and they were there in about 30 minutes, usually the same day. Mine lets me put one non coke product in machine, I usually order the machine with Dr Pepper in one selection. They supply card readers when they have them and I have never been charged for a vandalized machine. Moving a machine is not a problem, done it several times. I buy mostly cans, only about 3 machines are set up for bottles. But from what I have read, its not the same everywhere.

Don't forget the added cost of owning your machines. Moving machines Dollar and coin mech repair Compressor's, etc Not saying the bottlers are the way to go but there are added expenses of owning your own machines.

When I asked Vend Sys if they could import Parlevel readers into their software they told me not right now. I have several Parlevel readers.

I use Parlevel and Vendtrak. Mainly Parlevel but there area a couple of things I like to keep track of in Vendtrak. Vendtrak only cost me $29.95 a month. Call and talk to them at Parlevel, you might be able to get a better price.

Vending Concepts and STA both rent machines. Kind of expensive, you probably would only break even.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll give them a try.

Anybody selling Deli Express sandwiches. I've just been selling burritos, Hot Pockets and Small Pizza's in my cold food machines. Looked at them at a whole seller today and the box said 30 day shelf life refrigerated. That sounds like a long time to me. Anybody have any information on them? Thanks in advance
