newguy47591 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Ok I have 2 nursing home breakrooms im replacing the current vendor with snack, soda, and cold food machines. These will be my first 2 cold food machines..I do frozen food but not refrigerated food. My question is what should I put in these machines and where do I buy my sandwiches and what not. I know I can do milks, juices, and energy drinks on bottom selections.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 You can't do food in that AMS unless it's got a health sensor in it. The spirals in this one are also for snacks so this is probably just a soda/snack combo without a health safety sensor in it. If you want to do an AMS for cold food then you need a Visi Combo which has a larger compressor and the required health control to turn the vend circuit off if the temperature rises above 40-42 degrees for too long.

AngryChris Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Maybe i am wrong but i feel like i have seen this exact picture before, possibly over a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newguy47591 Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 yes its same picture as before. i bought it and just kept it in storage. I actually have 2 of the same machines now. the display when it comes on says ams II food. the spirals are big enough for sandwiches I guess its just a bad picture. I read the manual and played with the machine today and it has the health sensor in it. I plan to do drinks on bottom 2 rows then food on top but having a issue thinking of ideas. so far i come up with lunch ables, yogurt.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Cold food is tough, I have tried in 3 different types of location and still not making money on it - big problem being the short shelf life on most of those items. Good luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickers Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Be careful as those employees can usually eat for free or a highly reduced cost. They usually get juice,milk,coffee and tea cheap or free as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchydog Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I always suggest moving them to a central location in this type of facility because the residents ( old people) and visitors will have access to them and not just the employees, the residents eat candy bars like there going out of style at my nursing homes.

newguy47591 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 This is the biggest nursing home in our area for miles. Pepsi Food service has the account now but they switched to us FINALLY cause we are local. Its a no commission stop. The machines are not in a break room but actually in a big room that used to be a conference room..residents, staff and vistors have access to the units. Pepsi has a 20 oz machine, a can unit, snack unit, and cold food machine so we are placing the same to keep them happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
