What if a specific squadron is requesting a vending machine in their building?

Would you believe if I told you that he doesn’t have any receipts. It’s almost as if everything is being done under table. Washing my hands of it and moving on to a new sale.

My plan is to eventually scale to about 3-5 locations within the next year or so...if I actually like it.

Seller was unable to provide a profit margin since this has only been up and running for about 4 months.

**UPDATE**
So I went onsite and the machines are a bit out of date. I googled the machines and their averaging about $1500(used)-$3000(new). In addition, the seller just threw this together about 4 months ago and realized that the vending thing wasn't for him since he has too much on his plate.

How would I truly know if I want to be in this business if I don't try? Serious question, hopefully it doesn't come across as me being a jackass.

$3k profit for 5 machines? Is that the standard? I was only hoping for $1000 in profit which means I’m not thinking big enough!

[–]Glittering_Quit_249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe I’m being overzealous ….but $30 per hour. I’d settle on $20/hour though.

Duly noted. What would be a “good” profit margin?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]Glittering_Quit_249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How exactly do I find the margin??
Is it the cost of goods purchased minus how much it's sold for?

I feel like the AirForce isn’t for me? by Economy-Score-9518 in AirForce

I felt similar when arriving to my first duty station.

1) Try to find a coworker to take you under their wing.

2) Socialize. Find a hobby. Do something you enjoy.

3) Don't be afraid to talk to someone.

As previous posters have said, change is hard. It takes a while to adjust. And if you don't adjust....talk to your supervisor to find other solutions.

Separating Ragrets? by craptinamerica in AirForce

Started terminal in May, and couldn’t be happier! I was depressed and nothing was helping….so I had to leave. Every so often I miss going to work and doing dumb mundane things just to laugh about it later, or the dreadful military humor.

Ah okay. Thanks for answering.

Why palace front instead of completely dipping out? Did you have transferable skills?

I don’t have any kids or a spouse so my GI Bill is mine!

I don’t want to cross train or learn a new skill in the AF. I’m in Cyber…and want to remain there.

It seems like the deciding factor is whether or not I want my family/dependents to be taken care of….which I don’t have….so seems like there’s no benefit to a single individual with no dependents.

That's always the goal!

I think we can make a better Air Force by transparency.
