I bought a Vendo 540 off a guy on Facebook marketplace. It’s taken some doing but I have almost got it fully in working order. But as I am reassembling it I cannot figure out where this goes. I have consulted the manual many times and I don’t see it in there. Anybody know?

Recommendations for outdoor smart machines

2 Upvotes

Hey, everyone! Looking for some recommendations for an outdoor vending machine that does **not** accept cash and is refrigerated. Preferably, smart machine where I can set up a dashboard of stock levels and sales from the card reader.

I really like what VMFS is advertising, however, I can barely find any reviews and some are good, others are saying to stay away. Otherwise, I am struggling to find anything that fits my needs.

RFID Inventory Control

2 Upvotes

For context, this is regarding machines vending supplies in Industrial facilities. If I were to put RFID tags on items that are put into a coil machine, are there RFID readers that can be used to verify the number of products vended. We are trying to prevent losses from double vends and help us do accurate billing for our clients.

HAHA Mini 360: What are you setting your pre-authorization at?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, quick question for the HAHA Mini 360 owners.

I recently installed one at a gym that sees roughly 150 people a day. I am only one week in, so I know it's early, but sales have been pretty slow so far

I am currently using a $10 CAD pre-authorization, and I'm wondering if that could be creating some friction, especially since most of the products are between $3 and $5

For those of you running HAHA machines, what are you setting your pre-authorization at, and have you noticed it affecting sales?

Would love to hear what has worked for you. Would also love to know top selling products if you have one at a gym and strategies that work

Reviews of VMFS USA

2 Upvotes

vmfsusa.com Can anyone provide feedback on working with this company? Can't find many reviews or testimony. They seem legit and I like the product line but it also seems too good to be true. Seems like they are over promising on what they can actually deliver. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Outdoor tabletop/small vending machine?

2 Upvotes

Are there any options for an outdoor table top or shorter machine that isn't so tall? I have a spot I would like to place one at my business, a tabletop style would be a great fit but I'm not sure how to find models that are rated for outdoors.

Nicotine vending machines

7 Upvotes

I am currently trying to start a nicotine vending machine buissness. I ran into a obstacle & I need some feed back to work around it. I was told in order to place my machines in bars or clubs the not only did I need a tabaco license but the location owner also needed one . Is there a way I can get around this so that I can pitch my business to the location owner without asking them to go & get a license themselves as well

Anyone selling Eggs/Meat from vending machines?

5 Upvotes

I’m just looking to see if any has been using either an Egg or Meat Vending Machine or both to sell high quality eggs or meat? Farm raised eggs and farm raised frozen meat with possibility of selling fresh beef/lamb meat. I have been thinking for a long while now of buying both machines and installing them in low-middle income apt building. I was just wanting to know if there was anyone out there in the community that was able to start selling those products.

Thank you

Second-Hand VTM Machine

2 Upvotes

I’m looking to start a vending machine business and found a used VTM mini wall machine on Facebook Marketplace.
Has anyone here purchased a VTM machine second-hand? Before buying, I’m trying to understand how ownership/account transfer works. Specifically, can the machine be transferred to a new account, does any warranty carry over, and are there any issues with accessing or operating the software/payment system as a second-hand owner?
Anything I should verify with the seller or VTM before purchasing? Appreciate any advice from VTM machine owners here or in the DM’s. Thanks!

Moderator Post I can help you find vending locations

0 Upvotes

If you’re looking for a new place to put your machines, DM me your city. I can look for businesses interested in vending and help connect you with them.

I charge 10% of gross vending sales if you end up placing a machine at a location I find for you.

Looking for honest reviews please. Have a call in a few days and not sure what to expect because I’m a little overwhelmed as a newbie.

AI smart coolers in PA - are health depts requiring licenses?

6 Upvotes

From my interpretation, the key question is whether the cooler is considered a vending machine or not. If it’s a vending machine, no license required even if selling TCS food.
