Hello to everyone.  As a newbie, I welcome all your tips, advise, suggestions, recommendations, etc.

 

Know anyone in the Bay Area where I can get refurbished snack machines that are UL approved and can handle credit cards?

 

Thank you.

All US made machines are UL approved so there's nothing to be concerned about there.  Credit card readers can be added to any late model machine and to many older machines with upgraded logic boards.  Don't get the idea that you need new machines or that anything with a card reader on it is a "best machine".  Do your homework for a long time in the Beverage and Food forum and use search terms to find pertinent posts to your questions.  I think that Betson West is your best choice for new US machines if that's what you're looking for as a local supplier.  Be prepared to pay through the nose for new though, but don't let that lead you astray to imported or combo machines.  That is a quick way to not make money.  As for refurbished machines, that will take more investigation and some trial and error unless some members here can guide you to a good local refurbisher.

Hello,

Welcome to the forum!

 

I have refurbs (and credit card swipers) in oakland. All you need are MDB compatible machines. Remember that part.."MDB".

The way i explain it to people is.... its kinda like what a usb port is for a computer.

MDB (E-port) will allow you to plug in 3rd party devices like credit card kits etc.

 

Give me a call, I'd be happy to explain all to you and show you what we have.

 

Thanks!

 

Sincerely,

Shawn “Skip” DeLuca
