We had sandwich vending machines in our vending biz.
In most cases we would place a few microwaves in the lunchroom and then install a sandwich vending machine.

In my opinion, these machines never made us money. They require a careful eye on the product expiry dates and the waste is higher than other types of vending. The selection of product was also limited in our area. Patti ended up making certain sandwiches because are selection was so limited (She wasn't really impressed with this task). So why did we use food and sandwich vending machine? Because most of our high volume locations demanded that we offer food and sandwich vending machine. It was a prerequisite for securing the location. We would make a huge profit on the high volume in the coffee/bottled water/snack/cold drink machines because of these locations. We always looked at the break even status (or slight loss) of sandwich vending machines as just a cost of doing business.

Without being able to provide food and sandwich vending machines to these locations we would never been able to obtain these high volume accounts.

Readers Comments Uncle Rob My wife and I definitely think we received much more than $20 worth of advice. You probably saved us more like $10000. We attended a biz-op expo and were quite excited by one opportunity by an apparently well-known company (with a claimed 4000 "distributors"). We decided to look into the business and industry a bit more closely before attending a one-on-one the following night, which would have had us spending $15000 for two combo dispensers (and some "coaching"). It's amazing how much "information" is out there, most of it disagreeing with every other source. Every vending manufacturer/rep has a different story, 180 degrees out of phase with their competitors! I could go on, but I'm sure you know better than me how the business works. We still think it's a great business to get into given our circumstances and will pay close attention to your guidelines. Thanks again for the inside scoop! Best regards, Tom and Grace Russell ..(email on file)

Today's Vending Business Tip Don't limit your snack machines products to just snacks! We did well with putting "other" products in based on taking a broader look at the location. For example, toothbrushes (hotel), laundry soap (trucking company), baseball cards (apartment complex), and other personal toiletries. Be creative!
