Hello,

I do what you do. I get everything ready in bins and then when I get our of my car I just load up the sodas on my dolly and also my bin and go into to fill up my machines. Im sure there is a better way. I think what matters is wether your operating out of your car (sedan) or a van. Obviously from all the vendors I know who operate cargo vans, the easiest and most time effecient way is to do what whats his name said about putting all his chips and pastry and everything else in his van and then deciding once he gets there what he need for that locations. I know a lot of vendors that do that. Im hoping I get to that point one day. As my friends at JBL vending have told me before, you just have to be patient. Hope everything works out!

Vending Guys,

My partner and I are pretty new at the vending game but, 110 employees, 8:00 to 4:30, Monday thru Friday, unhappy with the current vendor. I would say this would be a pretty good prospect..no commission either.

We have a vo tech school with approx 100 students and 25 faculty. We own the snack machine and service/fill the pepsi/water machine and the sales have been pretty good. We lose out with snow days, (upstate NY), and school holidays and breaks, etc, but overall, the snacks get hit pretty hard when the students are in session.

I know you have just faculty, but it sounds like a nice oppurtunity to me.

Thanks C&J for the info. When I do buy the van,(hopefully soon), I'll check out Home Depot/Lowes for those shelving strips. Thanks again for all the help. I'm not sure about the AC problem. I started in November and the heat hasn't been an issue yet. I live in upstate NY. We don't have to worry about melting candy yet. Good Luck with the AC thing and keep in touch.
