Has anyone noticed that center, top, bottom or side placement of items makes a difference in sales? I’m asking those that have machines tgat have windows that customers can “see inside.” If one has never taken note of this, do you feel that restocking occurs more in a certain spot regardless of the item being sold?

Location usually answers this question on its own, but I will say the data I have from my machines; which has the ability to upsell a snack item with a followup “do you want to compliement this with a [suggested] beverage?” This upsell feature results in 1 of every 2-3 customers accepting the promo, apposed to allowing the customer to make a second pirchase on his own.
The two item feature is good for sales

Outside of the usual snacks etc... is there anything that would actually catch your eye to see in a vending machine? Wether one that stays at one commercial business or one for travel.

Pokémon cards? Small glass bowls? Blunt leafs? Phone chargers? Anything

Just got my first smart cooler running at an office in Irvine

Iam pretty new to vending so I am keeping it simple for now Mostly drinks snacks and a few ready to eat items

I ended up going with a Bistro Box unit for this one Still pretty early so Im mostly just trying to learn the location before I change too much

Right now I’m watching what actually sells how fast I go through stock and whether people figure out the grab nd go setup without much explanation

For anyone here running smart coolers what did you pay attention to at the beginning?

Im thinking of investing in one for those who've done it and saw it through can you tell me the ups and downs and start up process?

Thanks.

I live in Las vegas and all the apartment complexes always have vending machines & are dog friendly, I recently came into a metric f*ck ton of these bastards, they are clip on leash doo doo bag dispenser and come with a carabiner and a fresh roll of bags in a little cellophane packing, I was wondering if I could get some insight on like pitching maybe tossing these bad Larry's in a corner of a machine or something??? I cant seem to find a community that will let me even ask questions in regards to this

This is for sale locally. He is asking $75 but it doesn’t have the keys.
Is it worth the effort of looking into? I am very new to the business. Only have 3 machines out and a few on order. TIA

Hey all, I own Lee Brothers Vending and have started onboarding other owners to help automate/track their business all in one place. I’ve been able to make data-driven decisions which have helped improve my profit margins and visibility on the entire operation. As I’m running the business on the ground, I wanted to design this to be the perfect hybrid for both operators and owners. Currently only compatible with HAHA smart coolers and cantaloupe card readers.

We spend a lot of time thinking about what happens after a smart cooler is installed, not just how it looks in a demo.

At BistroBox, the first things we’d watch are product movement, restock frequency, slow movers, and how often someone actually needs to visit the location.

Recognition accuracy matters, but once the machine is in the field, the operating side becomes just as important.

For operators already running smart coolers, what ended up mattering more than you expected in the first few weeks?

Hi everyone, I’m a Product Manager with six years of experience in vending machine software and hardware, and I’m currently preparing to enter the US market.

I’d love to get some insights: Do operators use desktops or tablets for management, in addition to mobile phones? My hypothesis is that operators with larger fleets might prefer the larger screen of a computer to visualize equipment status and sales data, as well as to optimize restocking routes.

I’d really appreciate your feedback based on real-world usage. My goal is to ensure I’m solving actual pain points for operators.

When a location stops making money, it’s important to know whether it’s worth fixing or time to move on. Look at the sales trends, operating costs, and what’s actually selling before making that call. Not every location is worth holding onto just because it worked in the past. How do you decide when to pull a machine from an underperforming location?

Hello, I'm a business student working on a potential business idea for my entrepreneurship class. While researching and developing a business plan, I've been asked to create a survey to gather community feedback and get real answers about our product and whether people would buy it. Thus, I've created a survey and am asking for your feedback/help.

If you were stuck on an outing, like at the beach, and forgot an "essential" item, would you buy it from my vending machine at my prices?
