What you will learn
Do the thinking before you spend the money.
Most new operators want to start with the machine. The machine is tangible. It feels like progress. But the location, numbers, agreement, service burden, product economics, and cash reserve usually matter more.
This short guide gives you a pre-purchase framework you can use before a machine becomes a sunk cost.
The 10 decisions
Know the answers before you buy.
A practical checklist built from real vending operating experience.
Location before machine
Make the site earn the equipment.
Demand, not just traffic
Busy does not automatically mean buyers.
All-in machine cost
Include freight, setup, payments, inventory, and repair reserve.
Cashless payment
Confirm compatibility, connectivity, and processing costs.
Real product margin
Revenue is not what you keep.
Commission & agreements
Define the economics and expectations in writing.
Route service burden
Time and distance can destroy a good-looking account.
Machine condition
Test equipment before repair risk becomes your problem.
Working capital
Do not spend every available dollar on equipment.
Your exit plan
Know what happens if the location does not work.
