and another route


TKK

Recommended Posts

Sorry for posting so much but I learn everytime I do. Bought a route today 4 locations 4 snack 5 soda. Two are multiprice. Snacks are all cranes. One location they attached a changer since their bvs arent working.

Gross 2200 a month

Paid 8500 plus 700 in inventory and escrow.

She gave me a refurbed Dixie narco compressor, like 6 motors, 4 fronts, etc.

All arr within a mile apart all warehouses. No comission but prives r very low. Lss chips. 60-.75 chocolates. 75-.95 cans. 55-.75

Ill post pics in a bit.

Now heres my big question

This will be my girlfriends route shes going into nursing and has to quit her fulltime job. All our stuff except mortgage. Now she wont get out til January. So til then im servicing it. Whats the best way to do this include it as my company and pay all taxes and all, and just give her the net profit, til she starts servicing it, or should she be as an employee, or for her to just buy that seperate like product etc? What would you guys recommend?

Those are all terrific machines and I'd say you got a great deal with the locations included.  I can't believe the vendor was so lazy that they thought hanging a POS changer on the side of a quality snack machine was better than replacing the validator.  Do you want me to sent you a validator for it?

In an SIID machine, you press the blue service button on the logic board and then using the top two selection buttons together, press and hold until the display shows S-P.  Now you can press any select button and holding it will raise the price, releasing and holding again will lower the price.  When the price is set you can move to another selection that you want to change using the same method.

TKK, what state are you in?  Those prices are really cheap.  The cheapest we go down here: $ .75-can, $1- 1.25 candy.  What's the price for candy, cans, etc in  your local wholesale club?

Ive noticed all the routes ive boughten people have low pricing, I always raise. I.e

Chocolates 1.25 and only sell.snickers

Pastries 1.25

HOney buns 1

Cookies 1

Lss chips 1

Almost everything is a dollar except bugles and tgifs at. 75-.85

My sodas are. 75-1 monsters 2.50 water 1-1.25 and powerade 1.50

Cans I get for. 24 powerade. 46 water .9-.20

Chocolates. 49 chips. 38

I Will be raising the prices for sure not alot but a good 15-20c

The route I bought 2 weeks ago also had low prices but they didnt want me switching prices, only changing product.

So like big Tx buns were . 80 and I put honey buns instead as they cost 20c less. One machine had half selwctions just chocolate at. 75c lol so I took off more than half and put Oreos, rice crispies, trail mix,fruit gummies etc

Our store prices down here are a few cents more. Your way is definitely going to be better than the previous vendor.

I think the correct thing to say is.... his way is far better for us vendors out there that work our butts off to provide a quality service while trying to make a profit at the same time.

I don't know Texas law, but you may be able to hire her as an independent contractor and pay her that way.  She'll have to pay taxes on her income but it will prevent you from having to deal with payroll.

There are about 20 questions to answer to determine her employment status. With the existing relationship, together but not married, you are in a gray area. Talk to your accountant

I Dont have an accountant...

 

The only other thing you can do (easily) that won't make you look bad on a tax return is to PAY her out of your own pocket, and YOU will have to pay taxes on the profit as if she was never there and never paid.

Independent contractors are status has been abused ALOT in the past...and the IRS looks closely at these arrangements as it's a way that companies try to skip payroll taxes.

 

Just calling someone a n Independent Contractor doesn't make them an independent contractor.  I believe the IRS has a page devoted to this topic and specific tests to see if they would qualify.
