In Topic: Healthy vending Franchises: Are they worth it?

17 April 2012 - 11:48 AM

Mine are considered healthy choice but are more accurately healthier choice. I did a lot of research and trial and error on products and finally settled somewhere in the middle. (are we allowed to say brands here?) I do carry and sell Clif and Kind bars, but I sell more chocolate covered raisins and sweet and salty nut bars as an example. People are slowly coming around and I find there are some who are amazed and grateful for the more natural selections and will gladly put in a $5 and keep selecting until it is used up. I also take credit cards which is slow to catch on but I am happy to offer it and it also gets me the remote tracking...which I love!
ps. currently my best selling snack is pistachios (in the shell) go figure!

In Topic: To genesis owners and members

Just another point of view.
I have had my Genesis machines for nearly a year now. Have had only minor problems so far and happy with the extra income. Yes, there are some things about them I don't care for, but I was green to the business and now I know a thing or two about a thing or two and I intend to keep them up and running as long as they are willing and able. But having said that, I would probably look to purchase a different brand/model should I ever expand.

In Topic: Genesis Vending Refrigeration

Did you ever find the answer to this? we are wanting to know as well. everything seems to work on the unit, but the temp. won't get below about 60 degrees and we were wanting to know how much freon (in ounces) are supposed to be in it.

I would love to hear if you made any progress with your compressor problem. I have a similar problem with my refrigeration unit on one of my genesis go-368 machines. the compressor and the fan and everything seems to run ok, it just won't cool down below about 60 degrees. what I am afraid of is that it may have been tipped too far during placement (we installed it ourselves) thus 'voiding the warranty'
What exactly does that (tipped to far) do and can it be undone? does anyone know how much freon is supposed to be inside the compressor, in ounces? when making calls around to have the freon checked out, everyone says 'we don't work on vending machine units'. No, I haven't called Genesis...trying to avoid that and just fix this ourselves if possible. If we need to get a new refrigeration unit, is Genesis the only place we can get one? sorry to sound so uniformed, but we are extremely new to this business. Thanks!
