but unless you want to do this as a hobby or you can get some killer deal on an antares machine route, I wouldn't bother. I am not going to spend $1000-$1500 on a good combo machine which would never pay for itself and I don't want these customers to have a full-size pop machine as it would be too much and probably a burden to even bother getting it into their break room.
I am going to place one of these machines into a new location soon as it is part of an account that does pretty decent at another location. I have upgraded my larger accounts from antares machines to full-size snack and soda machines and have done well because of it. but $15/week just isn't worth it as a stand-alone account. You can get an antares machine for this kind of a price and do this. If a location is expected to do $15/week, you profit $7/week (not including fuel expenses), you should come out with $350/year. Since most locations spend most of their money on soda, I make sure that this markup gives me at least 50% of my overall revenue in profit. 75, 1.00 ) in order to set my change machine to give 4 quarters for every dollar and avoid complicated exact-exact change situations as explained earlier). I set up my remaining antares machines for $.75 cans and everything else for increments of $.25 (. Your customer MUST be willing to accept higher prices than usual. You need a small machine at a location that is part of another, larger account (such as a business that you have with full-size equipment and they want a separate vending machine at their "other location" which only has 10 employees). The account is a secure location with no risk of vandalism (as these can be easily broken into) The account is expected to do $15-$30/week They are only good for very small accounts of the following criteria: Somewhat reliable if the machine is in good working orderīasically, here is my general opinion on antares machines. Good for smaller accounts that want a variety of selections
No electronic troubleshooting, everything is virtually mechanical except the powered compressor and the change machine Have to open 4 or 5 locks to unlock/relock everything!!! SUPER annoying/time-consuming Limited display ability (you must show an image or title of what the selection is before they buy it so they know what it is) Limited capacity for larger accounts ( approximately 175 cans which is about seven 24-packs or one 24-pack for each flavor )
ONLY ACCEPTS *EXACT* exact change, meaning that it not only has to be the correct amount, but the correct type of coins too!!! 50 cents is 2 quarters only! Difficult to change prices (compared to a control board that can be done in seconds) Here is a list of disadvantages to antares machines that comes to mind immediately: The more complicated answer is "it depends."
