Hi,

I am new in the business and wondering which machine is overall profitable, snack or soda? I mean if you place both machines at a location like aschool, which machine will be responsible for major potion of the profits. If one gives more, approximately how much more than the other.

you might not be able to get a school location..

Soda you can buy cans for 25 to 30 cents sell for 75

snacks profit is approx 60%

soda all the way. the expiry date on food is a lot shorter than expiry dates on pop, so if you have a slower location you're not always throwing out snacks or rotating stick. Snacks can hang up in a machine, or cause people to shake and break the machine. Go with POP all the way as it is simple to fill and requires minimal time and larger profits

In 9 out of 10 accounts with a snack and drink machine side by side. I would say the drink machine will out sell the snack. I also strongly agree with the other posts.
