11 Column Snack Vending Machine - Click Here To Buy!

My office wanted to offer its employees snacks at a reasonable price. Looking around, we found an affordable 11- Column Snack Machine for $399 + shipping from www.candymachines.com.

It’s only 23 inches wide x 23 inches deep so it fits perfectly on top of our break-room counter! It’s mechanical and doesn’t require any programming on our part and has been very reliable.

The machine holds up to 133 candy bars/snack items and we got to set the amount for any price we wanted up to $1.25. We chose to set it for 75 cents for each item which has worked out well for all. The machine comes factory set for 50 cent vends, but we paid an extra $45 to change the vending amount. Paying the extra, for us, has really paid off.

It’s been really a great investment. since buying it 4 months ago, I overheard my boss saying that we just made our investment back on the purchase!

Some Snack and Soda Vending Machine Tips

18 Column Snack Vending Machine - Click Here To Buy

Here are some tips that will help make your snack and soda vending machines more profitable. Check out our Snack and Soda Vending Machine section to view all the great products we have available!

If the location your snack and soda vending machine is at wants a commission, you should generally mark your sale price up to cover the commission. So, rather than 50 cents for a soda, to cover a 10% commission, you would sell them for 55 cents. Sometimes when you tell the location this, they will tell you never mind and to just keep the prices low for their employees.

If it is possible, vend your sodas for 50 cents and your chips for the same. The customers will be likely to spend the whole dollar in your machine. As opposed to chips for 55 cents and soda for 60 which means they’ll need to spend 2 dollars and are less likely to do so.

After working on or loading soda and candy into your vending machine, before you leave always take a quarter dime & nickel and put in machine and then push coin return. How many times have you seen someone change flavor ids or something else and get called back after leaving. A distraction can lead to not finishing the job.

In your soda vending machine, one of the hottest selling sodas is Mountain Dew, for some reason kids seem to really love that stuff and it will bring in loads of money for you.
