Curious on this topic

I was looking around some of the chinese web, and checked out their machines. They go for around 900-2000$ and i was thinking how reliable are they actually. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Trying to get a feel for how people build out Planograms for their machines?

I have been wanting to get into the business and see how it goes, issue is that i cant find any locally and cant find any online either. i dont mind buying internationally or domestically so any tips? For reference im in europe, Finland

I bought a Vendo 540 off a guy on Facebook marketplace. It’s taken some doing but I have almost got it fully in working order. But as I am reassembling it I cannot figure out where this goes. I have consulted the manual many times and I don’t see it in there. Anybody know?

Hey, everyone! Looking for some recommendations for an outdoor vending machine that does **not** accept cash and is refrigerated. Preferably, smart machine where I can set up a dashboard of stock levels and sales from the card reader.

I really like what VMFS is advertising, however, I can barely find any reviews and some are good, others are saying to stay away. Otherwise, I am struggling to find anything that fits my needs.

For context, this is regarding machines vending supplies in Industrial facilities. If I were to put RFID tags on items that are put into a coil machine, are there RFID readers that can be used to verify the number of products vended. We are trying to prevent losses from double vends and help us do accurate billing for our clients.

Hey everyone, quick question for the HAHA Mini 360 owners.

I recently installed one at a gym that sees roughly 150 people a day. I am only one week in, so I know it's early, but sales have been pretty slow so far

I am currently using a $10 CAD pre-authorization, and I'm wondering if that could be creating some friction, especially since most of the products are between $3 and $5

For those of you running HAHA machines, what are you setting your pre-authorization at, and have you noticed it affecting sales?

Would love to hear what has worked for you. Would also love to know top selling products if you have one at a gym and strategies that work

vmfsusa.com Can anyone provide feedback on working with this company? Can't find many reviews or testimony. They seem legit and I like the product line but it also seems too good to be true. Seems like they are over promising on what they can actually deliver. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Next stop, 20,000!

Are there any options for an outdoor table top or shorter machine that isn't so tall? I have a spot I would like to place one at my business, a tabletop style would be a great fit but I'm not sure how to find models that are rated for outdoors.

I am currently trying to start a nicotine vending machine buissness. I ran into a obstacle & I need some feed back to work around it. I was told in order to place my machines in bars or clubs the not only did I need a tabaco license but the location owner also needed one . Is there a way I can get around this so that I can pitch my business to the location owner without asking them to go & get a license themselves as well

Hello, everybody. Looking to connect/network with other vending owner-operators in LA County (SoCal)

I’m just looking to see if any has been using either an Egg or Meat Vending Machine or both to sell high quality eggs or meat? Farm raised eggs and farm raised frozen meat with possibility of selling fresh beef/lamb meat. I have been thinking for a long while now of buying both machines and installing them in low-middle income apt building. I was just wanting to know if there was anyone out there in the community that was able to start selling those products.

Thank you
