Yeah I have been thinking and I am going to stay away from the glass front. For one I feel that they are a lot of money for no added benifit. Like I said earlier if you had to catch someones eye to buy something from your machine then that would be a different story like in a mall or something.

Looks like We had another great week here at BVS. I dont have a grand total for you yet. I am switching Banks becuase the bank I was at didnt offer coin sorting. I thought I could do it by my self but have came to realize that its a lot more headache than I am willing to put up with. SO I am switching to a bank that does offer free coin sorting! I will let everyone know how this past week went as soon as I can hopefully some time today!

Thanks and God Bless!!

Well I just left the bank. 215.65 in coin and 1574.00 in dollar bills. pretty good week. Ran out of some of my best selling sandwhichs towards the end of the week. Prolly would have been a little better.

Thanks and Godbless!

I definitely agree with BVI. The machines are junk. I have a DN2145. I believe thats the model number. It is junk. Every week I have to refund a few customers. EVERY WEEK. If this account brought it a lot more money I would replace it but it only brings in about $125 a week and this account has to have both cans and bottles because one side of thier business can only have bottles in their lab and then the office side can have cans and bottles. I would never get one either. I have noticed around here that Coke has put out a lot of them lately

Yes Im saying we have around 100 may be 105 or so employees on staff. Now through out the week we have different people that come into the factory such as log buyers or truck drivers that I am not counting. We also have different visitors through out the week as well. Im not counting them either. Like I said before I think the employees are the perfect fit for vending machines. If anyone has an oppurtunity to get into a saw mill do it! I lucked into it and I have been truly blessed with the revenue. One thing I wanted to clear up is that this is revenue not profit. Im thinking everyopne already got that but just wanted to make myself clear.

I am looking to get a machine for bottled soda. Right now we are filling up the bottle and food machine everyday. My plan is to try and get another machine for bottles and use the food and bottle machine just for food and limit the stocking of the machines to every other day. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas on glass front or just regular soda machines. I love the look of the glass front but I know usually you use those to get peoples attention and since they are in a factory I already have their attention and I dont think it would be work the extra money. Doesnt anyone have any input on this? I am using a DN756P right now for my cans and am thinking getting another one of them for bottles would be more profitable. Am I wrong by saying this?

Thanks again for everyones input. Keep the comments coming!!

God Bless!

$1500.00 a month is more inline with the amount of people he has, but I could be wrong.I'd say with having everything being kept at .65 and below will keep your profit margins on the slim slide, but the good news is that you don't have the expenses(are as large of an expense issue) that a normal vending company has, so having said that, watch your bottom line, are you will be working for peanuts.


Hello everyone looks like last week was a record week for BVS. We did a little over 1900 bucks. Im not so sure it is the size of the location but more the people. I worked with this same company at a location in missouri for 4 years before coming to indiana. I knew the vending guy at the loacation in missouri and out of 17 locatiosn he had the saw mill I worked at was by far the highest revenue. Then before I took this location over that I have now. I asked the vending guy that did it and he said that the saw mill was the highest revenue location he had on his route. We only have about 100 employees but I feel it is the type of emoployees we have that make for a perfect vending location. They are mostly blue collar workers who dont care about diet and dont really care much about how they spend their money. The location is mostly men and a fairly hot environment. All this combined makes for the ideal location.

Now everything I have in the machines isnt .65 cents. However everything in my snack machine is .65. I buy all my candy chips and pastrys from sam. I do not have any hostess product and because of that I feel my profit margins are decent. I buy all my drinks from sams as well. I am selling 16.9 oz bottles for a dollar and my energy drinks such as redbull and monster for 2.00 a piece. In my cold food and bottle machine I have cold food that I buy from landshire and sams and are priced from .75 to 2.50. With all that being said I am having to fill my cold food and bottle machine everyday. This isnt the best scenerio. I have been thinking about purchasing another machine to take my bottled drinks. I need more capacity. I was thinking a glass front machine but I dont know that the extra money for one of those is worth it when I could just get a DN720p and dispense bottles just the same. Any ideas on that matter?? Well thanks again for everyones help. I would like to hear some more revenue from the other full line guys.

Thanks,
