Starting a vending machine business. Got the LLC and some backend plans. Trying to get locations but it is hard. Got two maybes with no result and one that already had a contract with someone else. Anyone do vending or something similar (car wash, laundromat) and what worked for you? I've run my own business and been self employeed (issued myself my own W2 from myself lmao) so I'm not a stranger to it, just starting a new idea in a new industry. USA if that maters.
>>61239269https://youtu.be/4YBxeDN4tbk?si=rToRLIIgJ2bbY2vnBusiness cards? Where will you put your machines?
>>61239279I have business cards!Machines will go wherever the fuck I can get them to go that has high enough foot traffic and the person wants them and they don't already have a contract, I'm not picky but I would like to start close to home so the route is easier since it's me doing it.
>>61239298Try office parks that have lots of diff businesses in them.
>not smart enough to innovate>not smart enough to even learn a skill>not ambitious enough to start a business that actually makes decent margins>JUST enough of a hard worker to put shit you didnt make into a machine you didnt make, sitting in a location you didnt make, expecting a returnlollmao even
>>61239324I have a college degree and have started another successful business, why are you mad, I'm supposed to make the machine myself? lmao ok fag>>61239308I'm very interested in office buildings, people get sick of leaving for work/snacks or want a quick coffee.
I have an AP at a location with probably 60 employees that makes erm probably 600$ profit a month typically. I've been interested in a micro market but I would literally only put those inside of a closed business with high trust. The AP is cool but it does probably take up two hours of my weekend just driving out, buying supplies, and refilling it. I check it every weekend because people WILL get irritated at you for having missing product in your machine. It almost covers my rent cost so I will keep operating it.
I'd rather put the capital into deep otm calls on ai plays.
>>61239521My understanding with micromarket is to put in a camera and a sign that any theft will be dealt with through the employer, meaning they steal they can be terminated, seems to workidk what these cunts want for a % though, I do like the idea of 0% you get nothing, I am doing all the work and you get the benefit of having something there to keep your employees happy and engaged in work rather than fucking off and leaving the building for an hour.
>>61239269Good side gig, just get locations first then buy the machines. You could even lease the machines that way you can be profitable right away so long as your rev is more than expenses + lease payments
>>61239531I don't pay any %, I just made a pretty little infographic offering "free vending services" and employers saw it as a nice convenience so they took it. I wouldn't even bring it up honestly unless they ask about it. If a place does want some % off you then say "well we can talk about % if you can introduce my machines to any sister locations you have. If its a single location that wants % and they have no other locations then I would offer 5-7% because you still have most responsibility towards the machine and you need that money to maintain its services/stock. If they want more then honestly fuck em and take your stuff elsewhere.
>>61239532I got cash to buy and stock about 4-5 $5,000 machines, was going to get them brand new under warranty so I don't have any issues. Getting locations first, that's the hard part in all this it seems. >>61239546I was going to offer my gym 10% and I haven't heard back from the gym owner after giving him a contract to look over.
>>61239269A "vending machine business" always seemed like one of those things that isn't actually worth the time it takes to manage. The idea of having to drive around and restock vending machines makes me wanna kms, maybe it's just me.
>>61240299I would just only play up the convenience it offers to customers and employees. I would not bring up sharing the money at all and only talk about that if they bring it up. If you bring up money sharing they will immediately look more into it and possibly just install their own machine. Check out "gym drink" items that could provide decent margins at costco and mention that you can supply those in your machine. I typically like the AP snack machines because you can fit 400 items in them which last for a long time. >>61240406It isn't so bad, but it will take a couple hours off your saturday.
>>61240406>The idea of having to drive around and restock vending machines makes me wanna kms, maybe it's just me.That's the only thing that sounds appealing to me. Every other job you have to deal with customers, shitty coworkers, or some sort of bullshit that's unavoidable.If the the job is just restocking shit, where you can do it mostly on your own schedule at any day of the week or time of day, that's pretty comfy.
>>61240649Also its not like a sure thing, remember that. Sure you could have a juiced place making you 700 profit a month off one machine, but you could also have a machine making you literally 20$ a month because you happen to stick it in a place where convenience isn't really needed.
>>61239269Globalists are importing niggers into every first world country in order to destroy it and create their precious new world order. That means any vending machine you set up outside of maybe Japan or South Korea is going to get vandalized by niggers. Work that into your planning stage because you're not going to be able to just leave these things on the street and secure locations like hospitals and business centers will buy their own fucking machines before they let you make money on their customers.
Does it accept EBT?
>>61241286They can accept ebt
>>61241286some actually do have ebt card readers
>>61239269Gyms. Saw a young guy drive up in a Porsche and carry boxes of protein bars/drinks to the vending machine to refill it. I didn't know it was that lucrative of a business. Good luck getting a deal with a gym though
where do you buy shit cheap to re-fill it? dont say costco
>>61242391bj's, sams club, etc. unless you have an llc with your vending business you are not going to be able to buy straight from the manufacturer
>>61242399leasing seems pretty attractive at that point, vending machine fillers probably get stock significantly cheaper
>>61239444your crappy ebay store is not a successful business
>>61239269broooI have an office and there is no where near by (corner stores or anything) to buy cold beverages.15 -20 min walk (round trip) You need to look on maps and find offices in "dead zones"Sometimes I just want an ice cold beverage and im in the zone and can't leave my office.I did get a mini fridge but even then sometimes I want a pop or juice and not a beer.>>61239444lmao-ing at your degree
>>61239269>MILLIONAIRE NIGGER VENDING MACHINE TYCOONSjust like drop shitting fidget spinners with pressure washer options trades, it's a meme.
>>61239269Bars (all of them), gyms/YMCAs, Hotels, Bus stations, and your airport. If you haven’t already check these obvious places then you’re an idiot. But here’s a hot idea. Public parks and trail heads in white areas, private property in less than.Just ask the property owner of a corner lot with a wall that always faces/ blocks off public areas. Just ask them if they want an extra hundred a month to park it under the street light.
>>61239269Make sure to place them in areas where people at a very minimum work for a living. What about ATM businesses? Can we talk about that in this thread? Cash will continue to be of demand in certain types of businesses. For example, "Smoke Shops" with the liberalization of weed in the USA, these retailers still don't want to take credit cards due to risk of ban. So many of them still operate as cash only businesses.
>>61242488some of you are really fucking bitter on here and it shows lmao
>>61242120This is a great idea!!
>>61242524what office is letting you have a beer fridge and drink beer?>>61242778your the one asking for help on a mongolian basket weaving forum. use your big degree brain to figure it out or speak with your peers on plebbit
>>61239269vending machines are becoming ironically LESS financially viable as time goes on, because of pro-crime globohomo politicians, communists and shitskins flooding countries.
>>61243695do you have a statistic to back that up or is this feelycrafting ideas
>>61244044You’re one of them. I’m on to you
