sighlent1 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'm a newbie to vending I placed my first 2 machines a month ago (3rd week of Jan). I just did my maintenance on 1 of the 2 machines tonight. It's a Single Head Beaver (PMM) located in a Chinese Restaurant roughly 2 blocks from a Middle & High School. Cheap food and kids (who like cheap food & candy) is a combo that really attracted me to the location. I went to the location to find $6.55 in the machine. Have any of you had any instances where the 1st month at a location is, for lack of better words, low return, and then the next months following seeing a higher return? Or would you think that it's just a low quality location? Hopefully my 2nd location I check tomorrow is performing slightly better. Wish me luck! Any feedback here will be greatly appreciated Thank you, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLM Vending Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I try not to place my machines in asian restaurants. Maybe try toys in that restaurant? Usually the restaurants stay steady. Where in the restaurant is the machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havending Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Chinese buffers are the best places for racks. Try that and you will do much better. Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will.vend Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 One month is not long enough to determine how good a location will produce. Several factors can determine how much a location makes. The obvious ones are the location itself and product that is being vended. Some other factors are the time of year and where machine is placed within the location. Also, if there are other vendors present. Give it another month and then decide whether to pickup or change product, Maybe try gb's next. But, it might just be a spot that on it's best month might only produce $20.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of kids there, plus people don't always feel like eating Peanut MM after eating a big meal. They would rather have something to chew on like GB.
