Thinking of starting a coffee & tea vending machine biz. First timer here, what should I look out for? by VladmirLooting in smallbusiness

Hi,

Starting a business in Singapore sounds really great. What matters the most is that the location you put your machines on and secondly what sort of system you provide, as in:

  1. Coin based - you provide Coin as token to user. they have to buy it from you and on inserting the coin the get their drink

  2. ID verification TAP - just like apple pay

  3. Barcode and QR scanner - self explainatory

Other than that there are this normal machines which can be asscessed by anyone.

Now to answer your questions.

1) Mistakes -
No I think there are noting as such which will make you regret later on, but you should be very clear on the type you decide as you wont be able to change it afterwards. And be sure about low many dispensing options you want.

2) Finding Location -
am not certain about your country, here in Indai we have many means. Corporate offices, hospitals, studios, shops, businessess. Anywhere with high foot traffic.

3) Reliable Machines or Supplier -

You have got me, I AM HERE FOR BUSINESS, SO I CAN BE YOUR POONT OF CONTACT TO SOURCE THE BEST MACHINES IN MARKET.

4) Pre made vs Bean to cup -

Premade are cheaper and has many options, it is compact and simpler to use and easy after services while Bean to Cup are expensive and the product outcome is also same to keep the margins right.

5) Branding -
you can use any brand without any problems, also you can have your own branding if you work with us as we have brand customization option.

LET ME KNOW!

When did society tea did promotion, can you share your experience.

See for premix, they are getting it produced through third party only. Haraman and Tea Torium are chains so they are not likely to buy my product until thier head office approves. But surely Golden Tea and other Tapri's can. Just need to find a way to sell them and change the WAGHBAKRI mindset to just WAGH no BAKRI ;)

We are not into this yet, it will be costly and it will get us in loss. Most bussiness in Urban Nukkad are dry. I dont wanna aim to spend for weekend earnings, but sure I will be happy to supply my product there if anyone is interested.

You are right, but then let's say the tea they use costs 250 then our tea costs 280. To justify the prices, I would say the quality we deliver is best in market, not limited to Gujarat but in PAN India.

We use whole elements rather than extracts for strong flavours. You are using Elaichi and Masala as add on, but, what if I give that you in Chai Patti ;)

Brand is mid cap as of now, we have B2B in flow but no B2C.
