dkochan Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I earn a comfortable living with 400 locations that range from single-head to rack locations. My route consists of over 60% rack locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry1973 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 probably $100 or so, the so called average is $84 ($7 per head per month) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjacks Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Tough question to answer. Someone doing just singles and triples selling mainly candy will need a lot more heads than someone with large racks in high traffic locations. Mix in cranes and merchandisers and it gets more complicated. My business is built around fewer high volume locations that have as many as 40 heads* in a single place. *= racks, cranes, video, merchandisers etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjvend Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 It has been said that 100 well placed machines is about 'break even'. this pays for repairs, vehicle and No Debt Owed. This is what Mr. Greiner, manager of the NorthWestern plant said in 1982. 100 pls or minus has supported several operators during the Great Depression and subsequent downturns.
