Types of Vending Programs

 

Which vending program should you choose?� Call Hanna!�

We receive hundreds of calls from potential customers inquiring about

Vending machines every month.� Most of the time they have no idea

what method of vending is ideally suited to their needs.�

 

�          Can we rent?

�          Do we have to buy the machines?�

�          Will the service cost us anything?

�          Where do we get products?

 

The list of questions are endless.� We thought you would appreciate some of the basic vending options available to the general public.

 

Full service� This vending program offers all the vending equipment, products and total service at no cost to the location.� In some cases, prices are adjustable to accommodate the location with a monthly commission based on sales.� The vending company absorbs all the cost of equipment, insurance, taxes, payroll, spoilage, refunds, rotation of equipment as needed and much more..

 

Co-op service� This vending program allows the location to have the use of vending machines at little or no charge.� However, the location must purchase all products and services from the vender and at significantly inflated wholesale prices.� The location is required to provide the labor, insurance and a list of other responsibilities.� However, the difference between the total costs and the selling price is retained by the location.

 

Owner operator In some cases an individual or location management

chooses to take complete control of the vending.� This program necessitates the outright purchase of� all the vending equipment.� The equipment owner is totally responsible for purchasing all products, absorbing all losses incurred, paying taxes, labor and a list of related expenses.� The location keeps the remaining profits or may choose a subsidy program if lower prices are desired.

 

Which is the best method?� That�s a tough question.� Each account has to evaluated professionally to determine what�s best in each business situation.

 

In our opinion� Full service is the most popular.� Most organizations do not want to get involved in their own janitorial, window cleaning, lawn maintenance, or vending services.�

 

Co-op service is normally justifiable if the location wants to be involved and has the extra personnel to do the job but limited to acquire the equipment.

 

Owner operations are the extreme opposite of full service and are ready, willing and able to tackle the whole show single handedly.

 

With a little counseling we will help you make the very best decision for yourself or your management and staff.� Why?� Because at Hanna we are still large enough to serve you and small enough to care!!
