Proper machine size?

[kai1836]

How do you figure the proper machine size for a given location? Pizza shops double or single? I'm throwing "stuff" at the wall right now to see what sticks but perhaps a little insight would help me be more accurate.  I put a double in a video game store today and wonder if that was overkill. They have 5 employees and seem to do a good business.  Comments as always are welcome.

run 3 or 4 selection gum-skittles-candy?? and toy. 4 selection is what i will do at a min. i have tested over the years and the results are  that the more verity you offer the better.

my avreage coins slots per location is 9.5.

I agree with simon, the more the better and if you see if it is overkill just change it!

     Kai, I deal strictly with triples.  If a location is moving slowly, I just don't fill the product up as much.  I think your double will do very well there (it is not overkill at all).

Just keep an eye on it. If both are moving decent then go ahead and try a triple. With a triple most of us put a gumball or jawbreaker in the center with two different candy. Some places I will do a M&M gum/jaw Skittles. Others I will do a Reeses gum/jaw/ PM&M or Runts. It never hurts to ask if they have any favorites when you place it. Kids will bug their parents for whatever is in the video game store machine but if a worker has a favorite try that first. I have a place where the one girl in the office gets 2 gumballs a day and another girl is a feind for M&M's.
