Coffee Vending Machine Business

Starting a coffee vending machine business is a very competitive venture as compared with other retailers that offer single-serving snacks. However, it is important to know the basic and necessary step in starting the business.

You can find useful ideas on getting started in many websites over the internet.

A coffee vending machine business is viable to start in many places that have plenty of people such as hospital, airport and office building. However, you should ensure to offer coffee that is more competitive than the specialty coffee shops offer. If you want your coffee vending machine business to prosper you should ensure that your customer will enjoy the aroma and taste of specialty coffee.

Things to Consider

Just like any vending machine, customers would expect to drink fresh coffee from the coin-operated machine. This means that when you engage in this business make sure that the product is always fresh. Keep in mind that the coffee goes stale when not sold immediately. That is why you should choose location where it is viable to sell the product. Obviously, your vending business would make you money if you choose the best location. The location is the key on how you can profit in the business. Although it is crucial to find the location that has high-foot-traffic you have no choice but to deal with it. Likewise, if you have coffee vending machines in different location make sure that they are accessible so that you will not waste much of your time and travelling expenses.

In addition, before you start a coffee vending machine business you should determine how much of your time you will invest. It is because this kind of business requires constant checking of the machine so that you will not run out of stock. Likewise, you should schedule for restocking or replenishing the product as well as the maintenance of the machine. The good thing about this kind of business is that you make it more personalized. This means that you can have the opportunity to offer coffee that will meet the taste of your target sales location.

Another thing to consider is the coffee vending machine that you will use. The machine varies in style and you can even find sophisticated style. You can find coffee machine that dispenses coffee, sugar and cream while other coffee machine would require for different cup and sizes. Keep in mind that many people are picky about coffee that is why you should choose coffee vending machine that is branded just like the Maxwell House or StarBucks. However, this option would require big amount of money to start up the business. You should anticipate that a coffee vending machine is really costly. Therefore, you should ensure that your business should be in a strategic location so that you can obtain more profits from it.

    It's hit or miss. I just had a Canadian vending machine accept an American quarter, but I've had them fall through in the past. It depends on the mechanism, as well as whether the manufacturer wanted to/thought about accepting them. Many vending machines will accept American coins just because they're so common and widely accepted here, but this isn't universal. In the US, I'm pretty sure Canadian coins aren't as widely accepted, especially historically when the exchange rate was ridiculous.
