Vending machines should always have sodas to vend. Anytime a vending machine runs empty, money is lost. Many vending companies place their vending machines on a generic refill schedule that is not adequate. The usage on every vending machine fluctuates throughout the seasons. The most important season in vending is the summer. If the vending machines are not on the correct refill schedule for the summer, much of the year’s revenue will be lost. At Vending Solutions we understand that no two locations are the same and that each vending machine deserves our individual attention. We cater the refill scheduling of each vending machine to meet the needs of your business.

It is very important that the correct product selection is placed in the soda machines. Vending Solutions will work with you to make sure that you have the product selection that suits your business the best.

Full Service Vending Machine Program
Hello,
My name is Ben I am new to blogging but just wanted to post some information for people that are looking for vending machines for their offices or other places of business. Many people aren't even aware that our type of program exists and think that the only way to get vending machines at their locations is buying a machine or paying a monthly lease.
With our company, Vending Solutions, we provide vending services to all types of locations including: hotels, schools, malls, apartments, factories, retail stores, offices and more. Our program is totally free and we can place a beverage machines for the companies provided that there are 40 or more employees (customer traffic is also taken into account). Since our program is free we have to make sure there are enough people at the location to create enough volume to justify the expense of placing a $1500 machine and the man hours to keep it stocked with products.
And to answer the next question, we do have snack machines available but we need at least 75 employees to make them work. The larger number of employees is necessary because the products tend to expire much more quickly than beverages do.
Provided a location meets the requirements of full time employees or visitors we can place a fully serviced machine. This means we install the vending machines, keep them stocked with products you want and handle all the service and maintenance of the machines.
As far as products go we can get most any national product from Coke or Pepsi including, Diet Pepsi, Diet Coke, Sprite, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, Dasani, Aquafina, , Gatorade, Powerade, Juices, Water, and more.
If anyone has any questions or anything about our program I'll try and check this a few times a week. However, one note is that we are a vending management company. If you are an established operator looking to do business with us that's fine and I can help with that, however I can't field any questions about starting out a vending business, buying a machine, etc.
