sbishop Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I have 3 cold food satilite machines with 20 selections. I have never used them. I just landed a motel that wants one in the loby. They do not do breakfast and want some vending options for their customers. I have been looking around sams and everything I see need to be frozen, not refrigerated. What could I sell aand where can I get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get home I'll check the model. I thought about doing that with the frozen stuff, but wanted see if anyone else was doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJT Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Mission is spot on with you best option. Vistar and Vendors Supply have a bigger variety of frozen. You could look for a fresh food provider in your area that prepares food for vending operators. I would not do a cold food machine in a hotel unless it is a high occupancy hotel and leans towards the lower end clientele. Even then I would do my best to stay away from cold food machines in these type of accounts. You can take a profitable account and turn it into a break even proposition at best or you may even loose money. If you do it be sure you have a clear understanding with the hotel owner or management that it is on a trial basis and if it does not make money that you can pull it without fear of loosing the entire account. Also I would not include the cold food machine in any comission agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission vending Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 sbishop, aren't you in the Houston area? If so, Vistar has a distribution center there and I'm pretty sure you can pick up an order there without having to order a lot of stuff. Might be worth checking into.
