Coming out of stay-at-home into safer-at-home, many are looking for different ways to start a business with less contact. The vending machine route business could be for you.

Be your own boss.
Today’s hard work earns money for you, not someone else.
Your time becomes yours. As your route grows, you set your hours (along with your customers) of when to fill, clean and service your machines.
You control your business.
Create a business with passive income so your family isn’t reliant on only one channel of income.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK

Like any business you’d look at to start, do your homework.

Research the vending machine business. There are many articles and books on what this business is about. If you want to shadow a vending route sales person, let GAD Vending know. We can help you find someone in the industry. You’ll want to learn what a typical day could look like. What the newest technology brings to the business. How you can manage your inventory and time during your day.

Ask if there is an existing vending route for sale. Do the numbers with your trusted financial team to determine the best ways to start your business.

Discuss within your family and friends to see if this business makes sense for you. With any business start-up, it’s important to have support of your network.

READY?

Start by contacting the SBA and SCORE. These organizations have resources for business planning, legal start-up, financing options and free business mentoring.

With COVID concerns, unattended machines may not be as appealing to consumers as they once were. Consider this – go touchless with Crane Cashless Solutions.

As people go back to their routines, we expect a few things to change. In the past, people were twice as likely to have a phone on them vs. cash. And, 1 in 5 consumers didn’t care cash at all. With COVID concerns, expect mobile pay on even the smallest purchases to increase.

CRANE FLEXIBILITY AND CHOICE

The most flexible, user-friendly solution for cashless vending:

Vending consumer can use their mobile app to purchase and pay.
Powerful cloud based reporting and analytics tool enables performance tracking for cash and cashless sales.
Remote management of vending machines for improved operational efficiency.
Accessible deposits that correspond to the cashless sales for increased accountability.
Designed as a flexible solution capable of offering online services such as remote management of planograms, advertisements, cash discounts and promotions.
Connect to payment systems for major card acceptance, mobile pay and premium service options.

PLUG AND PLAY

The most advanced retrofit telemetry device. Crane Cashless units are module for easy upgrades. And, have multiple USB ports for additional beacons and cameras.

Crane Cashless systems can be retrofitted into most vending machines, claw game machines and more.

Consumer confidence in touchless ordering and payment are worth the retrofit alone. The added management reports, inventory management and remote capabilities are the added bonus to your machine business. Ask GAD Vending for a demonstration today!
