ghostridergt Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Anyone heard of these lil machines? I found an AWESOME deal on several but was wondering if anyone is familiar with them. Thanks all, Floyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterling Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 No picture? Is it the one with the plastic coin mechanism and no electricity required? I read somewhere that they are not recomened for the following reasons. The coin mech breaks easily and once it does the product dispenses at every turn without money going in. Small amount of product can be held so if it is a good location you'll have to restock it weekly. Not sure if it the kind you talking about, hopefully that helped.

ghostridergt Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 Yup sterling, that is the one. Its similar to a snackmate only a lil smaller. It can only hold 154 total items at a time. Id try to locate it somewhere extremely close so weekly service wouldnt have to be much of an issue for me. Time for more research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo Duck Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Floyd, Getting started in the snack business is kind of hard because the economies of scale work against you. With only 1 low volume location you cannot buy product in case quantities. Your cost is increased and flexibility is decreased. Pastries are a problem at low volume too. Better to concentrate on bulk for now, then maybe later look at full line stuff. jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
