Topic: Coffee Vending
|
We started out with soda/pop machines and then added snack machines and then expanded into coffee vending.
The profits on coffee vending are GREAT!! However, this area of vending required the most attention. Your customers have very strong opinions when it comes to coffee vending.
We have full sized coffee vending machines that dispensed a cup, small single cup machines where the customer used their own cup, and office coffee service where we delivered the supplies to our locations and they made their own.
Office coffee service was a little different since we actually had accounts receivable, but the profit for just delivering boxes of coffee, whitener, filters etc., was great. We had one account where we delivered their order once a month. Their bill was approximately $700.00 per trip. We profited $400 per order for about 25 minutes work.
Is coffee vending profitable, YES! But it does require a fair amount of babysitting.

Testimonial
I wanted to thank you for the great information in your e-book. I read it as soon as I received it. I am sure you get many of these types of letters, but I though it wouldn't hurt for you to hear one more story.
I was very seriously considering buying one of the packages you spoke about, machines, location services, product etc. I was actually in the process of rounding up the money. They wanted all the money up front, which actually made me uncomfortable, no 50% down and 50% upon receipt.
So the rest goes without saying.
I also zeroed in on the locating company section of your book. I was so excited to here they would be doing the locating. Silly me, I had envisioned a professional high end company with talented marketing and sales teams calling all there wonderful leads placing my machines in the best of the best locations because they had market research and demographic info on the communities businesses, educational institutions, hospitals, factories etc. and that they had working relationships with them.
Thank you, Thank you! So now if I still decide to proceed with this venture I would be going into it with my eyes wide open. Not sure I want to do it at this point.
Thank you for saving me from a potential mistake...they do not have any of my money or contracts from me. Now if I choose to do this I have some good information and directions as a result of your book. $20 was well worth it!
Thank you so much,

Make sure that a location is aware you want to be their vending solution. We once walked into a snack/pop location we had serviced for years only to find a full size coffee machine right beside our equipment. When we asked why they didn't ask us to put a full size coffee machine in, they said, "Oh!, we didn't know you do coffee too!". (A costly mistake for us)
