I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how long it takes to fill a soda and a snack machine including cleaning the machine etc.

Also,How many machines on average can 1 person service in a day.


Thanks

Hi Everyone

I'm doing some research into starting a full line vending company and I have about a billion questions.

The first one is does anyone have an idea of what their Net Profit percentage runs. I know everyone uses 50% but I am assuming that is for the Cost of Goods Sold. Does anyone know what their actual profit is running their route without employees - taking into consideration gas, insurance, machine financing etc. - I am trying to get an idea of exactly how much is left over as profit or revenue for reinvestment.

Another question is when you service an average soda/snack location has anyone broken down what they average per visit as far as revenue assuming the machines are only about a third full and using standard full size machines.


This is a great site and I have learned a lot already - But I am a numbers king of guy and I was hoping to put together some projections for the total number of machines/locations I would need to get to my goal of quitting my day job. I would like to be able to take out 6-7k per month eventually with another 3-4k left for reinvestment.

Thanks in advance for any help
