devin1986 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 One of my locations has one full size snack machine but it's not selling enough to justify having a full size machine in there. Are there any smaller less expensive solutions for putting another machine in there and switching that one out to another location? I've seen a few around but I'm just wondering what works for the veterans. Sorry if that sounds incoherent, I haven't slept yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission vending Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 The smallest full size machine would be a 3 wide. What size is the machine you are talking about? There are also smaller versions of snack machines that are not as tall as a standard snack machine, most notably the USI GF19 and GF23. 19 and 23 selections respectivly. Do you do the drinks as well? How are those sales? If drink voume is proportionate to snack then a combo might be worth considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sphincorp Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 there's always the old "honor box" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devin1986 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 The honor box might actually be a solution. There's already a vendor in there doing soda but the client seems to like my services more and we've talked about switching over the soda service so maybe a combo machine would work too. The office really doesn't make that much in sales but I'm hesitant to drop it because it's my first location and the contact has a been great for networking.
