hawksfan9325 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hey guys. What do you think about having a small snack/chip machine at a busy bar? I live in a college town, and I think these machines would do pretty well, as drunk college kids would be craving chips and salt. I think I could do $100 gross a week with a smaller machine. Does anyone have experience with bars/nightclubs? A lot of these places close down food production at 11 pm, but are open until 2 am. Happy Thanksgiving!

CajunCandy Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Go for it I have a chip machine at a country bar, that is open seven days a week. I also have a hot nut machine on counter top with cashews in it and a three headed candy machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The $1oo dollars a week is what you can expect on chip machine and nut machine I average $85 to 100 a month gross, that is .50 a turn for cashews. The bulk machine does about $65 a month gross. No commission. This is from 21 to god only knows! lol! As you know anything salty goes good in machine, no candy does not sell out of chip machine.

CajunCandy Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 But does it cover your tab ? almost! all depends on how many women is there when I finish servicing the machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJT Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Seen bar accounts do terrible. Large country bar in my area has a machine and it does hardly anything for the vendor. He does great with the pool tables and punching machines but not his snack vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfdogs Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I have two bars and the snack and soda machines are for the employees. They do about $1500/month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJT Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I have two bars and the snack and soda machines are for the employees. They do about $1500/month. $1500 each location? WOW that is good numbers for a bar. How many employees at these bars? What Kind of Bar? How many days a week are they open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfdogs Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 $1500 each location? WOW that is good numbers for a bar. How many employees at these bars? What Kind of Bar? How many days a week are they open? Both bars together gross $1500...didn't mean to misrepresent. Bar #1 is open wed-sat. Bar #2 is open Tuesday-sat. Live music/night club types of establishments. The number of employees varies widely depending on the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live music/night club types of establishments. The number of employees varies widely depending on the event. I am shocked that the employees use machines that much, as most bars would offer free meals or at least discounts for food. Perhaps the bar doesn't have a kitchen? $1500 gross. Plus why would a bar ever need a soda machine? That makes little to no sense, as pop and juice should be there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same owner for both bars...each has a kitchen. Owner wants canned drinks so the employees are not drinking from the tap (and adding booze). I was skeptical at first, too. But these machines have been in place over 25 years and continue to generate good sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
