bhumphrey829 Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 What is your expected profit out of that $1127? Around $560.00 for this week. I still consider myself very new at this. I have only been doing this full time for 1 year (at the end of this month). So i am still learning the ins and outs of the business. It would be a lot easier if there more people on this forum that did this type of business, but most of them do the mint boxes, so I'm pretty limited on the "brains" to pick on here for information, so it's kind of like trial by fire right now, although I absolutely love what i do and can't imagine doing anything else. I am trying to get my product cost down, which is the hardest part for me right now, because most of the locations i have love chocolate, and that's the most expensive item i have in my boxes, so it's definitely a learning process right now.

AZVendor Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I would say you already have a real good handle on your business and the business of honor boxes. People can use your examples of how to run their business and gauge their successes. I'm surprised you still offer chocolate in the summer. That could be the time you introduce more non-chocolate items and just tell people that you can't bring chocolate back until the late fall when it won't melt. That allows you flexibility to wean them off of chocolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought heat would affect sales of chocolate, but I check my snack machines, and there sold out of chocolate!Sent from my Z987 using Tapatalk Around $560.00 for this week.

My problem is i'm still too small to get products from anyone other than Sam's and there's only so much to choose from that's really a dilemma I have right now about introducing new product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual running of the route doesn't take but about 2.5 hours including driving. It takes about 1.5 hours to make up my boxes in the morning and then another 1.5 to 2 hours to do count the money and document what was left in the boxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionvending Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 bhumphrey how do you calculate your theft? I run mint patties in the Sheridan Honor Boxes. Since they are priced at 50 cents each or 3/$1.00, I don't know how to calculate theft. Right now, I have been calculating an average return per mint per location.

rodney69 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I just figure mine at.33 for everything. A little theft will happen no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionvending Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Thank you for your replies. For the most part, I have been averaging around .29, so when I compare it to what I figure at .33 I do see some theft. But, I assume that is just the cost of doing this business.
