I received a quote from a Co. that manufactures customized kiosks for bulk candy. The quote was for $6K. This seems ridiculously high. Keep in mind that these units would be used in large high-traffic malls. The customer volumes would be very attractive, but I can't see how you justify $6K for a kiosk. Am I crazy? Please advise.
Thanks.

I use and manufacture bulk vending kiosks.. I have them in sports arenas and they can generate extremely high revenue numbers!! Does the $6000.00 include the kiosk and equipment? If so, what type of equipment? check out my website http://www.michiganminivend.com Click on the Sweet Spot Kiosk for more info.

The quote includes the kiosks and the machines (Beaver).
Help me out in terms of the economics.....Can you justify a $6K machine for bulk candy?

Help me out...how many machines are on the Kiosk? Yes, a 6K investment into a kiosk is well worth the investment. Certain types of locations can push over $2000 a month in revenue if you have the RIGHT Kiosk with the RIGHT amount of equipment on it in the RIGHT location. Other factors to consider are: correct commission structure, correct product mix, and knowing your cost of goods per vend.

Thanks! Good stuff The machines vary from 12-24. These are multi-tiered "tabletop" setups. Lets say 14 machines on average for one of these kiosks. Is $6K reasonable? How on earth do you get $2K/month. Ok for a sporting venue I can see - 30,000+ fans in a captivie facility for a few times a month is huge. But, can this price be justified in a mall?
Thanks!!!!
