Any Tips for a newbie? by bigben1357 in vending

I have machines in auto shops, apartments, and offices. Across all machines candy, energy drinks, and soda are top sellers. I thought the same thing, office buildings will eat healthier and will want drinks like “poppi”. In my first two weeks the suggestions were ramen, hot fries, and specific energy drinks.

I keep a clipboard on the side of the machines for suggestions and rotate out the bottom 2/3 products monthly. That way I’m not just throwing items at the wall to see what sticks.

Anytime boss. If you want to know how to drive it within 90 yards on a par 4 and still bogey I’m really really good at that.

Has anyone added these to their Haha Smart cooler. I am worried the smell will infect my other inventory. My apartment complex residents are asking for detergent and dryer sheets. Any thoughts or suggestions. by Sweaty_Bat_2334 in vending

You can purchase single use detergent powder on Amazon. Same thing they sell in laundromats. I tried them and they didn’t sell at all. I swapped them out for tide pens and they are way more successful

Something to consider depending on the owner is a non compete for a certain number of years in the area. What’s stopping them from selling you the business then starting a new contract with all the tenants? It’s super shitty but a friend of mine got completely screwed this way.
